Well said Jade,the other thing is Gareth Rankin said that their was a quote £2000 better than

the Lanarkshire one and(good luck to it) now he is saying he was told Lanarkshire would be

getting the job after the AGM .THE MAIN THING WHEN BIRDS GO TO ANY RACE IS THE NUMBER OF

BIRDS TO A BASKET,GET THAT RIGHT AND THE REST IS EASY.

 

The birds to a basket is the main thing, you are right. Canny remember Gareth saying that about any quote?

[Delboy]

I have no hidden agenda either but have yet to see proof that geraldy transporters/crates give you better racing than wicker baskets. I`m sure all the technicalities will be sorted at the next agm. If all you guys who are quick to criticise had offered to serve on the committee at the agm you could have had it sorted out this year

 

expletive remove, of course theres no evidence to say you would have a better race from Geraldy.Does Geraldy transporters make them know the way home, lol.What a mental statement.

If you read the thread you wont see the committee criticised by me, in fact I said ''hard working, unpaid committee,'' but certain officials, thats different.

Hi Scotland

If all our birds had ever seen was a wicker basket then I would not want them going away to a race as important as a National in a Geraldy Transporter for the first time.

 

 

May be part of the reason the National decided not to use them for this season. I know there was a vote the other year and it was only for one race but the fact it was defeated at the AGM. As someone else suggested it maybe be better discussed at AGM for future racing.

could i ask you jock for what reason

[tiger]

ALRIGHT in my opion its guys looking after each other , jmo lets be fair and share it out with all feds not just the same old feds

[Delboy]

Nobody has given a reason for preferring wicker baskets to Geraldy crates. Toullette versus ets comes to mind lol.I remember these same folk kicking up fek about ETS being introduced.

[Guest stb-]

no m8 wooden plywood solid sided crates with wire top and sliding lid to put birds in , front of the crate has ply pannel that lifts up but they do go into geraldy crates when training with the fed mid weeek and at race on sat .

 

The only thing i dont like about geraldy crates is the paper , i prefer deep shavings as i like to see my birds lay down in the shavings like they do in my crates or in the loft .

The clock debate is a entirely different argument the problem some fanciers had was the advantage ets had over the conventional clock which no doubt it has

However my preference for wicker baskets is that I think the birds are much happier in deep shavings which can't have in Geraldy crates which are usually dressed with cardboard and easybed which does stick to their feet. Jmo

[walterboswell59]

the problem with the shavings is the birds crap on them then they get into the drinkers and your birds are drinking water full of shavings and other pigeons crap the drinkers must be clogged with them and water is the most important factor surely

so does shavings rebus

[walterboswell59]

Would you keep your birds in a basket with nout on floor of it other than a paper for a few days at a time ? Sure as hell not many people would so why treat pigeons like this going to race home

i use paper in my baskets all year m8 i prefer clean water to clean feet

Do you feed your birds by throwing feeding onto a shi.ty loft floor, well why do it with the best pigeons going to nationals,in wicker baskets?There isnt an argument here, the Lanarkshire transporters have a metal piece built in to stop shavings going in water troughs, so you can have your doos in deep shavings.
