thinking of calling it a day.

[Guest]

hi , im seriously thinking of calling it a day ,ive been suffering with chest pains for a while and im thinking its down to the birds.

im currently on antibiotics and to be honest wish i hadnt started back up this year.

i have to say that im very grateful to certain people who gave me a head start back in the sport before xmas with some gift birds,those i can never thank enough and forever grateful to them.

and for some flyers who has bred me some y/bs this year.

i have aquired some decent birds and i will have ones i bought for sale ,as i cannot sell ones that were gifted to me and wouldnt feel right if i did.

i have around 50 y/bs not yet trained.

also i will have 2 stb,s for sale  1 quartz, a1 time keeper and a wind up stb ,both passed 3 way test this year ,i will post when  or if i call it a day in the near future,and what is for sale.......paul

Its a shame that you feel so unwell that you are unable to continue,

 

why not sell the gifted birds and make a donation to the site and help others out that way?

 

Good luck with your health for the future.

Sorry  to  hear  of  your  poor  health  but  don`t  give  the  birds  up  you  have  to  have  something  to  get  up  in  the  morning  for .

The  birds  will  help i`m  sure  even  if  you  only  have  a  few  to  manage.

sounds like what my uncle will be doing, he is just keeping his stock birds and breeding babies for other people and to gain enjoyment from him breeding pigeons for other people and a form of success if the birds do well!

[Guest]

Think you should look at your last plan - fewer birds, a smaller shed and a HUGE flight. I'm sure you will all get some benefit.  ;D

 

Seriously, you don't miss your health until you lose it. Take care and do what you feel is best.

hi m8 i think the large avery and small shed idea is a top one as ure health is the most impotant , i speak from experience m8 i have,,,,  pfl / asthma / i spend 80% of my day fighting for breath and using inhalers , health first m8

  

[peterpau]

Mate I'm off to docs tomorrow so feel for ya. What I'm trying to say is, my best birds didn't cost me a bean.

[Guest]

thats ok m8, no probs,hope alls well at the docs for u....paul

 

and thanks everyone, for the replies .

An aivery with nest boxes, or rabit hutches with an enclesed nest box where the wind blows through. I believe Kieth Mott does this with sucess. If fact there is a photo of his or someones about, will look, but  have no doubt some on here will know the site.

The best of everything to you, whatever you decide.

[Guest Paulo]

sorry to hear about your ill health hope you feel better soon

[Guest shadow]

I gave up my birds due to ill health and have never regretted it your own health comes first

[barlblofts]

lol i thinking of calling it a day to, but for a different reason to you. i just feel its all to much hassle these days and not as much fun as it use to be years ago. its been a interesting life that i had with the birds over the past 40 years but i dont think i can carry on with this anymore.
