Walter swanston Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have just spoken to Michael.This is hard to accept, here is a fancier who puts himself out each season to provide a safe haven for other fanciers birds and eventually sees them home. He then puts his own birds out to range and one pigeon returns with its ETS ring stolen.Would'nt it be ironic if the thief is a fancier Michael has helped in the past.

Novice Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 If I read this correctly then the pigeon disappeared, entered another loft and returned within 2.5 hours. That suggests the ring thief is close by you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stb- Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 on another note i have in the past found 2 ets ring on my loft floor which had brocken at the hinge part , dont know if they had been opend up to much or just a fault . Could be its been faulty like mine and fell off ?? not a lot of time frame for a bird to excersise then go into a strange loft have its ring off and return . not saying it hasnt but unusual for a young one to enter a loft so quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnaway Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I made the mistake with ETS rings on my old birds as I had only clicked them once instead of the required twice and thankfully one of my fellow fanciers pointed it out on race marking night so it is a possibility it may have came detached ?

It prob broken like my 2 did before . But the ring stealing does go on and thats sh** .Every one who gets a birds returned from mick can send him down an ets ring as a thank you gesture .

Roland Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Why would anyone STEAL a ET Ring. Can't use it, so waste of time. Mind to be honest YOU would never have known it had gone into another's loft. Small price to pay for the knowledge eh! Of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
