[sj irving jnr]

yes there still  is a stray center at gretna pam power runs it

[Taylorsloft]

ive been down there 3 times been right inside helping to put birds in the baskets and the only thing the place is fit for is growing mushrooms .it was roasting inside if the rspca seen it they would close it down

[Taylorsloft]

if i remember i think the guy i was with phoned the shu and complained about the state of the place

[blackswan]

Lets just be thankfull that the stray centre is there for us,   i wouldnt, and like most of the fanciers like to keep forking out £30 to have a bird picked up every time it gets reported.

 

The both strays i have had back this year, there has been nothing wrong with them, they just made the mistake like a lot of young birds doo.

 

So people should not comment on nothing they no anything about.  :X :X

 

have seen stray centre and if nothing has changed it needs to sorted  and our birds dont need to be kept in the dark. have you been to see it.

[Taylorsloft]

Why dont people  take the trouble  to check their facts before making critical  remarks about the STRAY CENTRE .   Davie  Fleming and the Armadale  members  take great care of the birds.  F. Jamieson  gifted specially made aluminium  crates  to the SHU  for the STRAY CENTRE, J HENDRIE then built  racks  to keep the crates  off the floor .The drinkers  are fitted all day , and the lights are  on all day.  What more do these CRITICS want?  Why dont the CRITICS attend the S H U AGM and  volunteer to take  over and give  Davie and the members of Armadale  a well earned break  away from the work and the worry looking after all our young birds?

the lights are kept on are they, and you still could not see your hand infront of your face, and with no through air it will get like a bakers oven, and if the lights are kept on when do the birds get to rest,  as we all know they do need to rest,

i am sure davie is doing his best, it is the building thats the problem what about proper ventilation also the birds would be better in wire crates than aluminium ,

gee the man a break or do the job urself

there was an shu plain ring y/b in the stray centre at Armadale last week that was clearly stamped with the club and fed name and yet it gets reported? why not just put in into the Lanarkshire stray basket? this is the 2nd 1 in my club thats not been sent back to Lanarkshire and has been through the stray centre : :

nothing to do with me guys i am down south, but if you post the pic how long will it be on before a "grown up" wheels up and takes it back off?,which would be wrong because any bird, from anywhere could end up in this place

[weecunny]

if its that bad then why waste time slaggin it report it  now for the birds sake

[Guest chrisss]

i don't know how bad or good it is,but i would be interested in seeing it,because i would assume that any bird might end up there,and my club flies north road,could any one tell me if rpra birds go there [daft i know guys but i don't know how you fellas do it]

[weecunny]

only su rings go into the stray centre as far as a no chriss

[Guest chrisss]

cheers mate

[Fair Play]

It would be nice if the organisations were to put a few "kudos" into a fund to make the stray centres available to all after all stray pigeons especially young ones don't care who has or where they are registered, they are lost and wish to get home what has happened to "Pigeon Spirit." A few centres up and down the country would be worth their weight in gold and if provided for free at the moment what could be achieved with a few "quid" thrown in.

[Pego]

Have had one stray back from stray centre this season and he was in good condition apart from injury which had prevented him from homing.

[joe61]

fair play it aint gunna happen most fanciers want to sit on their *expletive removed* and wait for it to drop in their lap or better still let someone else do it they will discuss it for 2 or 3 weeks then move on to the next topic

 

oh happy days

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Hi Guys,  Just taken some time to read through all your commenta regarding SHU STRAY CENTRE which has been based in Armadale for a few years now.  Some of you are never ever happy are you, if we didn't organise a stray centre it would cost a lot of guys an awful lot of money and at approx £30 a time and 2 or 3 birds per week,  I just wonder how long one may be able to sustain that type of pressure from the pocket. Granted ventilation could be better,  but for the amount of birds that sit all week  ( only a few ) there is more than ample ventilation within the clubhouse. These birds are fed morning and night with fresh water at same time every single day in good clean baskets . There is also more than ample lighting on 24/7 to allow the birds to obtain a drink   whenever they please .  As for the condition of the birds that leave us they are normally in very good condition when they leave,  except for the ones that come and go normally within 24 hours and are brought in in a very poor condition anyway so it doesn't leave me a great deal of time to do anything with them. As for wing stamps, I am very fortunate I get a good hand from ALL THE GUYS that come up on a friday night and also the lads that come in over the weekend with there transporter to process the birds into there respective baskets  and whilst we try our best to make sure everything is ok  it is unfortunate  mistakes do get get made . It would be nice if people came along and supported the work that we do and not criticise some thing they have never seen and don't know anything about. As for the stray centre in Gretna Green , this  is now finished . Hope this answers your thoughts .  If you have a problem or wish to talk to me my number is 07961441470                                                        Davy Fleming SHU STRAY OFFICER                                                PS  Thanks very much to the guys who made some positive remarks and support to me
