LOOKS LIKE, THE doos that where late never got at the water in the basket, and it is known, any bird drinking 10% less water than needed per day can mean as much as 40% less effort in a race. just to let you know a bird drinks 1/4 of a pint per feed so if there is 20 birds in a basket that would make it, say they need 5 pints per basket at feeding time, those wee blue troughs, what would they hold 1 1/2 pints so that would make it 3 pints per 2 used per basket, if there are any more birds in the basket them there would be more chance your doo, would get 12%less water than needed per night result doos being late, going down for a drink bigda as is

just to let you know 200 crate truck would need 1,200 pints of water that amounts to

150 gallon of water per day, and if that was adhered to more often there would be faster times and less losses so the nat should have went through 600 gallon of water did that happen you tell me or 15. 40 galon oil barrels of water

[HOMER49]

You f off you nut

 

Hi

Danny has a point as regards the watering system

Seems the south section fitted there own drinkers

which cover all the basket and by all accounts

had very good returns

Food for thought

Cheers

Do you know which transporters were at Maidstone homer?

how many did you get home then anyone with a brain knows a doo drinks about 1/4 pint of fresh water per day

 

Danny, a 4 pint drinker is enough for 32 pigeons in one day therefore a pigeon drinks 1/8th of a pint a day in normal conditions.

[Guest bigda]

a week with out food would not harm a bird as much as a week without water would do doos, drink about 1/4 of a pint = 4 fluid oz or 125 mil for a full 24 hour can you not see we are

neglecting the doos, one that are well basket trained, are going to get there fair share

and you also have the basket bullies, who will not move out the way to let others drink you have all seen this with birds, at there own drinkers not letting any bird near there own drinkers in your shed well in a basket they are 10 times worse.

well did the national have 300 gallon of water used going by your reconing over the 4 days 60 5 gallon drums then are used, i say 120 are needed

[VMS]

It's like the flint stones LOL should be using Geraldy transporters

[Guest bigda]

so we can agree on every 200 crate truck of 5,000 doos we need 15 5 gallon drums of water per day minimum taken on board or collected yet when in France this could

cost us the race if we give our birds French water, the horse racing guys bring all there own water with them, they don't take the chance, or leave anything to chance in case there horse has the runs in a big race, bio security should be our aim also when in France you wouldn't drink water abroad doos are just like us with gerry berry

[Guest bigda]

yes and charged at the rate of £31 per basket trucks and drivers for inland races giving the nat a profit of £31 per basket also more for france

Very good , Lindsay ,s dad would have been proud of him well done wee man , but I'm afraid you put down in at 15.40 Saltcoats and took the plaudits ie big Gareth saying well done baz , but u never said anything to the contrary .

I spoke to a very prominent national man yesterday at length on the dog and bone , he agreed this snfc needs a shake up from the TOP to the bottom , and get it back to where it used to be , he told me of things that he witnessed at marking , ie taking rubber ring numbers off the national sheets for club secretary,s to check after time in , this to me is I big big no no , security is surely a must .
