david Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hi Forum Members I sent 4 pigeons with SPDS this morning heading to Devon via uk pigeon couriers. I have just had SPDS driver return my pigeons now nearly 8pm to my door.He informs me that because he lived local to me he has kindly out of a gesture of good will returned them to me as i was his customerI thought this was nice of the guy.!!He tells me as from early mid morning SPDS has gone into liquidation.He also states that over 40 pigeons are left in the Aberdeen depot .in carry boxes.I sincerely hope all owners of these birds will be informed .The driver explained to me nobody is in this depot and doors are all locked up including the pigeons,many of them youngsters I am not sure if this topic has been covered today but nothing wrong with retelling the sad news of this reliable pigeon courier. Thanks all and good luck to all the pigeons in the depot DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Has anybody informed the authorities? I had asked the driver and he said no information has been given to owners or the necessary authorities regarding the birds welfare.I am very lucky he brought mine home as he only lives 9 miles away and felt he had a moral duty to return them as he was the pick up driver Awful!

JADE Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Aberdeen may not be the only depot with pigeons in transit. I think a call should be made to the SHU to see if they can do anything and also the SSPCA as the persons responsible could be prosecuted if the pigeons are made to suffer.

David Sounds like a thoroughly decent bloke. The one's that come here are first class too. It is a tragedy that these poor lads may very well lose their jobs. Their service has always been first class and will be a real loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
