Went down the Clydeside in Lanark a couple of weeks ago and in one of the Garden Centres there were a bit with birds i,e, numerous types of birds of prey and said to my wife Anne, comon we will go in here as I want to have a look at these. And I said to the guy who owned it Do you have any Peregrines and he answered "Yes I do" then I said do you have any Sparrowhawks and he replied "yes" . So I said can you show me the difference between them please as just interested. He then RIGHT AWAY asked me ARE YOU A PIGEON MAN ?? I answered NO No not me whilst my wife nodded her head saying yes. I thought what a DICK HEAD AS never thought she would say anything. This guy wouldn't let me out his sight whilst I was in there so laughed about it all the way home and still think about it. LOL :D :D :D :D :D

Never knew until son in law went to a Falcon Display etc. etc. (His father is an ex pigeon man and he winds the hawkers up too lol) that peregrines NEVER miss out on killing and eating the head of a pheasant.

He saw it happen at Rockingham Castle and the handler stated. there is absolutely nothing I can do till he eats the head... then he'll come back.... which is exactly what happened. Knew a fellow that cleaned up the foxes same way in a 20 mile radious via just leaving treat chicken heads about.

I would love to see a few web Cam of these happening. Think in the darker night we could have great showing on the big screen around the Camp Fires. Halls even where with a few wicked ladies took in bottles - or bought over the bar, we could have some great celebrations. Sing - a -long nights to warm the cockles of the heart with hopes of better racing and less troubled skies sought after with much vigour eh!.

Indeed these great nights could easily be turned into 'Fund - Raising' nights to enable pain killers such as Ibuprophen to be bought cheaper via ordering vast quanities eh!

pretty sad when fanciers are calling it a day because of BOPhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif Hope things get better for you wattle and you are able to take up the sport again m8http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif but please keep in touch through PB as your views and input are valuedhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Simple reality is that until fanciers do their bit. Stand up quietly without out being seen so to speak, then yes this phlight will increase.

Think time is when all the culls sold at meat markes are bought and used as a cull to cull. No need for anyone to breed their own. Just buy for pennies what the asians buy for dinner, and allow others to have their dinner ... their last ofcourse. 1 pair now means 20 pairs or more at least three years down the line... and at 6 pigeons a day it doesn't take rocket science to work out that 1000's of birds will be saved just via one pair removed nicely.

[fletch]

its not all bad news then

This means if nothing is done i wont really ever get the chance to build a decent team and enjoy pigeon racing for the sport it is. there must have been a time when it didnt even cross peoples mind (bops) now thats all that matter when they are racing ,training and just out about the loft

Well it WAS predicted time after time. Many were the warnings, and pleas to the fancy to get on board and get talks with the RSPB first off. Response if possible was even worst than it is now in real terms! Seems akin to the ladies knitting and jawing, those who sat twiddling thumbs whilst thinking 'don’t matter to me none, I'm not affected'. Further and worst still like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, we sat idly by wishing and dreaming of 'A White Knights on silver chargers; galloping to sort out our' 'Cause'

We were not listened to because our governing bodies only ever, as even now, aimed to appease the powers to be, namely the RSPB and the oily money making machine. We were ridicules and laughed at, as now, because we just sit, whinge and moan, spout fire and do nothing. Not even send a Email. Attend a meeting. worst so called 'Pigeon lovers' have sabataguered, belittle and effectively stop any and every one i any compacity from trying to help them! Now that is a very sad but true state of affairs eh!

Even now with the scarlet bloody messages adorning our Lofts, the Lib sites, and seeing the wanton evilness of the RSPB whom are deliberately setting up 'Towers' over looking fancier’s lofts, over conservationist terrains! Maybe it hasn't sunk in that there aren't, and never have been in reality, any Knights in shinny white armour, and the only Damsels in distress were those being raped by the very knights. Some things never change eh!

Time to wake up and smell the coffee eh!? Until, if ever, everyone does his' or her' little bit, and then it will get more progressively worst obviously. Like Tesco says 'Every little helps'.

If the numbers were 10 fold, then notice would be heeded. A thousand fold then the powers to be, the governing bodies too, would have to accept they have gone too far by far and peed a few off to say the least. Yes and they would be bound to accept that the action being taken was for a JUST cause.

If every fancier scored with just one hit, even better a pair, then eyes would lift up. All interested parties would be summoned to take part. The RPRA and other such dormant useless *****8 could, and should then be told that they aren't needed to negotiate on our’ behalf, but to be represented in name only. THAT the actual body could, and would be elected fanciers that cared, and who were, are willing to put their plight forward.

Those lone voices in the wilderness yes such, as Bilco etc. would be heard! In the mea time if no let up was seen to be coming, then the wheels would move very quickly indeed in an effect to stop a total eradication of ALL B.O.P.

But a trip of a thousand miles needs that first step to be taken.

A. Hands up any one who hasn't heard of the devastation via B.O.P.!

B. Hands anyone who in all honesty doesn't know how to deal with an Ariel killer in the district!

C. Hands up who still believe in the Shinny Knight and the Tooth fairy.

Simple really eh!

Stop moaning, whinging, and help not only your selves, become that unknown soldier, become quietly one going about ones own business and forgo any bragging right, yet every other bird keeper besides yourself eh!
