of healthy birds fall from perches with no ill affect on them.

"RACING SUSPENDED IN WALES FOR THE WEEKEND OF 14 - 15 APRIL 2012

 

Following an outbreak of an undefined virus within a few lofts in Wales ALL the respective Homing Unions have taken the precautionary measure of suspending Racing for this weekend.

 

We hope to resume racing shortly once the outcome of the necessary tests have been received and remedial action has been agreed and taken

 

For more information please contact your local Region or Union officials.

i think the whu had no option other than to stop racing until they have the results of the cause i think they could have stopped training as well until the results of the tests

I went to LIER Market in March this year on the Sunday after the Holland Show in our coach,it has moved now down one of the streets by the river,like everyone else we went and had a look at the pigeons there were a lot of old pigeons this year and y/bs for sale, most of the pigeons were 45 euro, after 10 minutes we went for a beer 10am and watched what was going on, there must have been at least 25 UK Coaches parked up, 3 were from South Wales,UK fancers with baskets full of birds we could not believe it and we told them so, the best part was the wives sat out side the pub with the faces looking like a smacked *expletive removed*, who takes the wives on a pigeon trip,they should have seen the film grand slam,

Dont blame the Welsh just look at your own club.

i think despite this "writing on the wall" message by the time next year comes around , those coaches will be back to visit ?? :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: this event will be all but forgotten by next year Stoker . :emoticon-0138-thinking:

the possible cause to this, will be from rats or mice.

funny you should say that bigda

my belgium ybs were out flying for two weeks before i was going to tenerife for the olr ,

so to help out my daughter who was feeding and watering and so she didnt have to clean out i got a bale of straw and put it down and whist i was away,

she phoned me on my second week to tel me about a problem in the loft ,the first thing i told her to do was too take up the straw ? this straw obviouslly came straight from the farm so your theory may be the right one ,maybe there were rats etc p*ssing over it i dont know ,we should know by tues anyway
