I'm cancelling my bhw until the racing season its full of junk

[OLDYELLOW]

well bops wont be able to eat them if prisoners .

[Michael J Burden]

My dad hated prisoners but he flew up until the 80's. There was very little chance of any birds of prey attacks. I have broken out old birds and lost them flying after a short time. One hen was hit x3 times until she never returned. So for me yes prisoners, but they will have a good avery to bask in the sun etc. atb MJB

some people spend a lot on birds to big of chance to let them out

[Guest big slim]

We dont keep any prisoners, but ive lost some really good birds trying to stick to that policy.

[Guest challengerlofts]

I bought 3 stockbirds few years ago from europigeon.nl. The 2 hens its an 06 bred, I managed to break them out. Then, the an 08 bred, I lost it. Thats what they said, you win some, you lose some.

[Fair Play]

Never got my BHW this week just like the BHW unpredictable

[novo10]

some of our best came from prisoner stock so we wont try to break them everybody to theyre own

dont think he is as he knows how to fly a pigeon :emoticon-0136-giggle:

[Guest IB]

I don't keep prisoners either, and yes it can be costly.

 

The thread reminds me of the reasons behind that 'rule' which I made when I first started back in pigeons around 10 years ago. I got my first pigeons back then, I bought a matched pair of Kirkpatricks from LPW.

 

The cock was a young bird and he got out past me after only 3 days & disappeared off the face of the earth. The hen was a yearling which I broke on her own after 21 days. I discovered the next year that she was barren, and wrote to LPW about it. They were going to take her back, but I reckoned her odd behaviour when I first got her was down to her always being a prisoner and I wasn't prepared to send her back to that, so I kept the bird, and LPW didn't replace her.

On the subject of birds for sale in BHW, I hate the way some are advertised with a well known fanciers name in a Banner Headline at the top of the page.

 

Then comes details of the birds.

 

Then comes details of the guy that's selling them - who aint the well known fancier at the top of the page whose name attracted you to the advert in the first place.

[JohnQuinn]

Have to say i'm not a fan of Prisoners and try to break every bird i get into the loft. Its not so much that i am averse to keeping them in, they are just a nuisance who have to be locked up when i let the others out.

My attempts at breaking them has had mixed fortunes but overall have lost a few when trying them out.

 

Sore one was a Dk Ch hen i bought from Martha Van Geel direct, never looked back when i let it out. However! i broke the Ck that i bought the same day and he is Sire to my Equipoise hen, some you win some you lose.

[glenrandal]

funny thing is some you try to break clear without even circling and come back the next day and those that hang about for a day or two disappear never to be seen again
