pigeon359 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 I am totaly disgusted at the reply from you DELBOY re the Peregrine falcon problem. I have read a number of your posts and you seem to have a lot to say for yourself over most subjects and the majority of it is inconsiderate, un-thought out rubbish! Are you even a pigeon fancier at all to come away with that sort of advice? Why dont you put yourself in the lions cage at the zoo and see how you like being eaten alive!! With the kind of heartless advice you have just given I would guess that you are a falconer also? If not then you should give yourself a shake mate as you obviously dont have a heart! You would be prepared to give the falcons all your old timers that are no use to you now would you? What a way to treat one of your own birds! It must have served you well for it to have reached old age and after that you are prepared to watch it get eaten alive? Even young that have slipped the ring in the nest.........what have they done to deserve a fate like that? Nothing!!!! All creatures have a right to live, I dont dispute that, regardless of the diet they have and whether pigeons happen to be part of that diet or not. Thats one thing......but you would deliberately give it birds of your own that just happen to be of NO USE to you now? Are you trying to be some big shot in the pigeon world who is ruthless and cares about nothing except winners? Thats how you are making yourself out mate........you may be a pigeon keeper but to me you are just another heartless person who keeps pigeons and cares nothing else for a birds well being.YOU ARE NOT A PIGEON FANCIER!!! I joined pigeon basics to read constructive comments not a lot of cr*p that you think everyone else wants to read. Do you think that all of the non fanciers who report birds through PB dont look through other threads to see if they are advertising a found bird in the proper place or to give them a little insight into the world of pigeon racing? You wonder how our sport gets a bad name and why some non fanciers think the way they do about our sport? I will tell you why mate, it is because of idiots like you thats why!!! And if you had any brains that giving old timers to the falcons would save your good birds then you are sadly mistaken! All you are doing is encouraging them to come back for an easy meal!! You may not like what I have to say but I am easy mate. Whether you like me or not for it I dont really care. You are not the kind of person I would want to know anyway..............and you call youself a pigeon fancier?? Get a life mate!!!!

billt Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 That was the advice given by the RSPB,have a shed of less valued birds that you can let out before you're prize birds. Yes mate I know, I wonder why, all predators thrive when the food chain is at a peak, That's why I say we have played right into their hands, We are the ones that are responsible for the large increase in Percy, more Percy more birds, more Percy birds, We really must think about cutting down the food supply

Novice Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 Being absolutely serious it becomes more obvious to me each year that we should not be racing youngsters during the month of August.We need to start young bird racing earlier and also shorthen the season by having mid week races. This may mean having youngbird races during the National season but it needs to be done.Think about this carefully. We supply prime food in abundance exactly when required.If there are no racers available Percy will decimate the song bird population forcing a rethink by the RSPB.
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 One of the best things that could be done would be for nobody to let a single bird out for a whole year,that would surely have an impact on the hawk situation but I know that would never happen

Common sense , either that or have no racing at all for one year, everyone keeping all their racing pigeons indoors.expletive remove sorry Tammy, never read your post lol, great minds think alike lol
