Guest GAV Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Whats the point in reporting strays to unions and on web sites to find the owner of strays, you contact them, they give you all the excuses under the sun, say they,ll get back to you and thats the last you hear from them, if you cant make the effort to get birds back WHY ARE THEY IN THE SPORT.

kev01293 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Got to agree with gav on this,of course nobody wants too fork out on couriers but at the end of the day they are our birds so our responsibility!why should others especially non fanciers be left stuck with our birds? Ive had the phone slammed down on me,ive been asked too feed/water bird and chuck it up when ready but when the bird refuses to leave the fancier conveniently cant be contacted,I even heard one fancier say to his friend/partner 'not him again tell him to n--- -t,needless too say that conversation got a bit colourfull,why didnt he just say that the first time i phoned him?and we wonder why we get a bad name,ive driven to southampton,ipswich and barnet,london to collect from non fanciers,not all fanciers are bad in fact ive met some very considerate ones but a few ruin it for the rest of us -rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
