Wiley Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 Evening chaps and lasses, just got of the phone to a fancier friend, who has had a bird reported some 100 miles away from his loft by a non fancier. Knowing this fancier he always tries his best to retrieve his birds, he said to the non fancier without hesitation that he will arrange for a courier but with the courier system these days the bird may be with them for around a week, the lady said she couldnt hold it for a week, so he then suggested how about holding the bird few days feeding some pearl barley ect then releasing at a local park or field in which so I've been told she refused as she felt it would be attacked by a hawk or buzzard. The fancier is in a catch 22 as he also doesn't drive. When speaking to him it then raised the question what are the RPRA doing to get a more and cheaper and reliable courier on board like the days of Interlink and then Amtrak?
OLDYELLOW Posted August 7, 2012 Report Posted August 7, 2012 Surely must be a fancier near by who can collect and give b & b until it's picked up ???????
