sapper756 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Had the birds out this weekend, when I got them in my good Janssen cock was missing, he has flown well for me, later that day, I took the dog for a walk, only to spot the cock on the side of next doors roof. Although I called him for ages, he would not move, so eventually I had to give up. When I went out to close the lofts up, he was sitting on the landing board, as I approached, he did not move, and I was able to pick him up, only to notice one of his eyes was swollen and closed. I bathed this eye, and left him for the night, next morning the eye had opened slightly, but when I waved my hand by the eye, he did not move, he may be blind in this eyehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif only time will tell. What do you think could have happened to him? there is no evidence of any other damagehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif looks like his racing career could be overhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/cry-blow.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think could have happened to him? there is no evidence of any other damage looks like his racing career could be over If you can get hold of FUCITHALMIC viscous eye drops from a friendly Doctor as its prescription only or failing that OPTREX infected eye drops "chloramphenical" from any chemist will clear it jig time.

frank mitch Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 A friend of mine, Eddie McWilliams from Blairhall,Fife, had a chec hen that he sent 7 times to France with the SNFC, all over 500 miles and it scored every time, best positions being 3rd Open and 23rd Open, both Gold Cup, winning a Gold award!It was killed by a sparrowhawk near his loft about 6 months ago.How do you get over that?

St Finnan Loft Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I always say we borrow them from nature so enjoy them while you can. Yes we all have had birds that were dear to us, I remember a blue bar hen who had twice topped the section for me and was home on the day from the Gold Cup when only a few birds in fife were timed. Prior to the race I had managed to convince the wife she was a certainty (how many times have we all thought that) so she was an all pooler, we had four kids and had just moved house so the money was very handy and the pigeons were in the good books as far as the wife was concerned. The following year the blue hen had won the club race and section two weeks prior to the Gold Cup so I was intending to send her again this was in my mind as I saw her alight on the landing bowl as I was on my way to work she looked a picture that morning……….that was the last time I saw her. I think it’s worse to loose them at home. I always had an open bowl in those days However the only time I recall being brought to tears with a pigeon was a red yearling cock who was in 175 mile l race, I had timed in and stood in the front of the loft enjoying the sight of further arrivals when the yearling flew past me hitting the landing board then was somehow jammed in the sputnik, the sudden thud had startled me but I felt a lot worse when I picked him from the trap…..he had no legs …..He had been severely injured at some point in the race. It shows how courageous our feathered friends are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
