Separate Liberations From Same Transporter

[Grizzlecock]

What is the opinion of fanciers about separate liberations ie liberating birds at one race point then moving on and liberating the birds at another race point

I have witnessed birds being liberated from the same transporter at the same liberation point and I can tell you the birds left on the transporter go absolutely crazy ie.banging against the crates or baskets trying to get out,I would think that if they had enough time etc to settle down again at a different lib point they would be o.k.

Shouldnt happen in my opinion, for the reason stated above, birds banging against the baskets trying to get out.

[greenlands]

Ridiculous idea,as said above the birds left on the transporter go crazy.

[walterboswell59]

not only do they go crazy trying to get out there climbing on top of each other causing eye and flight damage with there claws it should never happen

Would agree with your comments but the UNC Birds have done this for years all the lorries with separate libs ?

[William Reid]

If you want a disaster from training / racing separate liberations is the way to go JMHO

Was thinking the same . But when you move them from first liberation point to another that is when it becomes a big problem. Done it my self many years ago got the "T " shirt as the saying goes

[Grizzlecock]

I agree with all the above and we in the north of Scotland fed have two more races to go with separate liberations A disaster waiting to happen. Just my opinion

Agree 100%.

used to be of same opinion but not now , training with out fed transporter which might lib livingston cockenzie dunbar etc there is no probs libbing then moving to next lib point , having seen the birds being libbed with the birds going further still on the transporter has not seen them go nuts and dont get em back damaged . when we had midweek club birds went to say musselburgh then onto kelso for race not a problem !!!! used to get fantastic racing before percy got to many . maby if been sitting ovenight might make a diffo but not if libbed one point after the other

Question was one transporter - with libs at different race points from one transporter - presumably the same day!

 

UNC do not do this

UNC do not do this

Are the lorries not in line and each goes at intervals and if so are shutters or blinds closed on others ?

Sure the section that billy bilsland races in goes first furthest distance etc

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Grizzlecock is 'moving between racepoints', the UNC do not part liberate then drive to another racepoint

The UNC has up to 14 transporters - and some of the races are 6 libs, some are only 2 and others - combine races - just the one lib

When there are 6 libs it takes 1 and a half hours to 2 hours to liberate the birds (15 minute intervals or twenty minute intervals) some of these libs have as many as three transporters - I am in Group 6 - there are 5 federations in Group 6 - East Cleveland, North Yorkshire, Hartlepool, South East Durham and Middlesbrough and district - there could be 12000 - 15000 birds just in our Group in the early races, particularly with young birds
