No one is denying him his right to keep pigeons. We are all bound by local by-laws regarding the keeping of pigeons, poultry and other livestock, and in 99% of cases we have to seek permission. I was just stating that it seems strange for a council to grant permission for a pigeon loft to be erected in a front garden when a back garden is available, as I presume is the situation in this case. I am all for encouraging people into the hobby as many on here are aware.

 

yep stop on

i would of thought the council would not take a second look on that sort of thing

You have no right telling anyone what breed of birds to keep.OK he should have the loft in his backgarden his birds can still steal hers from there.She will simply have to ask for her birds back

 

 

Did I say I had a right to do that, I don't think so

[jack]

if they are good homers they will not go near his loft

[Guest spin cycle]

i don't think front or back garden will make alot of difference as horsemans roam. if he is a genuine pigeon guy he'll co-operate with you so you can both fly your birds....if he is just doing it to annoy you then he'll soon loose interest and they'll probably end up in your loft. JMO and best of luck

what is horseman pigeons

 

its a fancy pigeon from the pouter family known for attracting stray pigeons back to there loft

[Sajfos]

I have a farm with fancy Pigeons on open hole less than 100 yards from My Loft & they have never caused Me any inconvenience at all .My Widowers completely ignore them & they never fly together . Race days are no different My Birds just pitch in with no problems .

is that 2 seperate set ups ( green and red )...is the horseman section the little red shed on the right ( which is lovely)...sorry for all the questions

[Guest Freebird]

At the end of the day he is a doo man so I would get to know him. If he has been at it a while then you will no doubt learn a lot from him re bird health etc. and he may well get into the racers etc. I knew someone a while back who flew horseman and they fly against other horseman keepers. They put out birds if they see another horseman in the air be it cock or hen and try to lure it into thier loft. Is there another horseman keeper in your area if not he may well just be going to breed them. Hope all goes well. Don't judge on looks, he may well be a good friend to have on your side.

I went over to meet the guy this afternoon after I came home my shopping and got on well. He is getting 10 horseman tomorrow (his wife thinks only 2). He assured me that he would not be after my birds but the other horsemans round the road. He said that in the unlikely instance he did get one of mine in he would bring it over Glad I went over
