whats the process with the S.H.U. stray report "NOT RESOLVED" for strays ? do i have to pay for a postage stamp to send this report back now too ? having phoned the owner in the first instance , fed & watered for over a week ,and no reply over a week after the dated letter . :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Andy try emailing Linda in the first instance or better still phone her. Ask the procedure from her and then take it the full road if the fancier doesn't contact you.

We all appreciate that some may find difficulties regards sending for strays and we do our best to assist them, but they should at least give the common courtesy of making contact with us. Complete refusal to make contact should not be allowed unless there are extenuating circumstances, e.g. perhaps in hospital or taken ill.

first contact was told by the Daughter ,her Father would travel down for the bird . it wasnt injured yet had a health problem so that was a good option. no contact since at all, yes the "hospital stint" crossed my mind , yet no contact at all. never had a "no response" issue before ?? :emoticon-0138-thinking:

I had the opposite , lost 8 ybs from the only race I sent 7 got reported ! There was one I really wanted back and offered to send for it but fancier said he knew someone close to Airdrie and would have it released , never saw it again then a phone call 2 weeks ago reporting the same pigeon in the same town but guy said he had taken over the guys loft and this bird was in there , same phone number ? I would have let him keep it if that's what he wanted then told me he has some cracking ybs of it this year .lol
