i couldnt agree more billt i drove down to southampton to collect one of my yb,s from a non fancier who was told by her neighbour that she was wasting her time reporting it as we wouldnt want it back if non fanciers go to the trouble of reporting our birds then the least we can do is collect them and remember to thank them for doing it kev
