So its high time we the members take decisions for the pigeons welfare, not saying that we have to pick pigeons up at 7am, but if marking was brought forward 3 hours then this could make all the difference.

DJWa Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 And fair play to you for making yourself available to get your pigeons away, time for the rest of us to follow with early pick ups (when required)do you think this will reduce the birdage with some members not able or willing to take time offI know that if you want birds away most folk will help each other in most cases but others wont bother due to the hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviedoo22 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 If you have to bring marking forward by a few hours or even a whole day, if it is beneficial to the birds then it should be done.Surely we wan't the best weather conditions for the birds. Mind you it has to be beneficial to the whole club. As for today? good luck to the North birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
