When Birds Escape From Transporter

[Grizzlecock]

What is the procedure when birds escape from a transporter? In the past we rerubbered the birds. What do we do now when the majority of the birds are ets?

[KMCK]

Ayrshire I believe disqualify the club from the race that the basket belongs too

[Grizzlecock]

The north of Scotland fed have different crates every week. We have no way of knowing whose birds are in which crate.

[KMCK]

Do yous not put a label on the back of the crate to say if its cocks or hens and how many birds are in the basket

[Tony C]

The RPRA tell us to deal with it in the following way:

 

9. In the event of any pigeon(s) escaping,

he/she must seek his/her Organisation

official regarding emergency action to be

taken.

 

So in reading that, one organisation might go about it completely different than another.

[Grizzlecock]

We have never done th at, we just tell the driver the number of birds and the number of crates being sent

[BLACK W F]

the mind boggles wonder how long it would take to release the rest of convoy bearing in mind strings require cutting ect

[kingziemckay]

the crate should be marked with what clubs birds are in it,

[KMCK]

each club in Ayrshire fed must put a label on tha back on each basket stating sex of birds number of birds what club and racepoint they are going to, if any of the baskets are not sealed correctly or indeed any escaped pigeons the club in question is disqualified from the race

[THE FIFER]

the crate should be marked with what clubs birds are in it,

thought all crates had to be marked and signed re vaccination etc,

In reply to your concern about the race from Thornton I was at the same race point and your driver did every thing by the book in this incident the club that escaped should have been more aware of a faulty crate the crate had a bracket missing and If they had checked this crate this incident could have been avoided the rest of the birds were liberated right away you should thankful you have a very aware driver who did what he had to do in this incident R k Morrison Aberdeen fed driver

You miss my point. The question was what do we do. If birds escape etc. ,in the past the birds were rerubbered if this happened how would ets fliers time in their birds I did not say anything about the north of Scotland fed race from Thornton or the driver,

Bob no one is having a go at the driver I just asked how long after the others got libbed as the strings would need cutting or where they already cut ready to lib

I think the point getting asked , in the event of an escape of a few birds escaping , and no liberation is imminent , how do you overcome the ETS system , as in the past all birds would be rerubbered , but this is now not possible with ETS as most will not have a conventional clock set for timing.

[Ian McKay]

I Alan the mind boggles all above except Tonyc are members of the SHU and do not know the rules

 

In this day of computer just go to SHU site it is explained there :emoticon-0179-headbang:

we have a sheet of paper with bird no and basket no which corresponds with the ETS print out so if a bird escapes from a particular basket every bird in that basket is disqualified

I the mind fairly boggles ok

[Colsacre]

Surely the most important information relating to the escapees from NOS transporter is how! This info should be circulated so all clubs can check their crates to prevent a reoccurrence.

[bobandson]

I was not having a go at north fed members I was just saying that your driver did the best he could do sorry if thought I was having a go at north fed members let this be a lesson to all north fed clubs please check your crates before you put any birds in them every one makes mistakes no ones perfect it could happen to any fed sorry you misread my reply

Being a Fed official for 21 yrs is pointless if you don't know the rules :emoticon-0136-giggle:

Your right officials should know the rules after all they are the ones that would be making the decision as to what action to take,they would also have to make a decision in less time than it took you to reply to the question on this post....JBC/..

George, what pigeons would this extend to? does it extend to the remainder of the convoy or what? .....JBC/.

Perhaps Ian can add his view.....
