After All I Do To Help

Let my birds out at just the back of 8 this morning split into two groups and went to dots in the heavens

Got on with cleaning loft etc briefly looking to see all was ok

One group finally returned after 30 minutes but the others dissapeared from view

Got a large group back at 9-10 and called them all in ,I knew they were not all there

Got 2 singles back of ten o'clock shortly followed by a group of five ,four belonging to me the other a stranger not race rubbered or ets and fresh as paint ,I knew then they had tagged someone's trainers

Just before I headed of the back of eleven to my cousins funeral ,two more singles arrived minutes apart this was 11am

Blue cock minus his ets ,I trained them the last two days and have the printout

He arrived from yesterday's toss at 12-19-05

Yet he comes home after loft exercise within 2 half hours with his ring off

Not Happy is an understatement

The bird that returned with my 4 at 10'oclock

Ring number GB15R31194

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.

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

I wouldn't think it was taken from it Mick in such a short time but who knows these days :emoticon-0179-headbang: If its unikon rings then they must get 2 clicks when putting them on as they can loosen quite easily imo.

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 ?

seen a lad shouting on a forum not long ago that his 3rd or 4th bird had its ets taken of but he won and the other birds with missing ring was no far behind so i dont think it could have went in a loft got it ets off and back out and home just behind the winners . 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 .

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.

 

 

Yes they can, just get it re-registered into there name, some guys are doing this a lot. ;)

yes but that is up to the person doing the rings as it would come up as registered to another owner,

not really archie theres ets systems up for sale all the time with 20 ring 50 rings 10 rings etc i doubt many will bother to de register the used ones before selling on loads of second hand rings about and not just the pinched ones .

 

Not so long ago it was the anti ets boys who were supposedly taking rings of birds aswell

Calmed down now after my first rant

All I will say is that the cock was away for approx 2 hours and 40 minutes and returned minus his ring

It was 100% fitted propery and was purchased new from SHU offices last Tuesday

As someone's earlier post said it will not change anything I will still care for all birds
