C WRIGHT · November 6, 2015

thanks to the good guy from edinburgh whom phone shu and got my details contacted me

with details of one of my yb i lost last season

chq cock looking outstanding well looked after and been missing for over 3 months

guy tells me he just got it in with another 3 doos

going by there age stock doos

no thanks to the asssssss hole who has kept the bird in his loft for the three month

took of its phone clip ring

ets ring fancied the doo and obviously thought he would break it

tuff mate its obviously out smarted you

escaped and tried working home

thanks again to the guy from edinburgh

just because a bird makes a mistake enters your loft doesnt give the loft owner the the right to keep it

or even worse dispose of it

and the honourable fanciers wonders why his lost doo nevr showed up

and all the time its a prisoners to the asssssshole

makes my blood boil

Might do you a turn next year.

Great post Mr Wright ,down here in Moffat I have got in many many strayed pigeons over the last twenty years.Without exception I always try to unite these birds with their owners and have travelled many miles to liberate birds closer to their home lofts.

However I have to relate that not every fancier takes the same responsible attitude that you do and several times recently I have felt that I am releasing a pigeon to an uncertain fate and I got to tell you it p***** me right off.,

Well done to that fancier from Edinburgh :emoticon-0137-clapping:

alternatively your bird may have been in a batch of birds collected up

brought up from the south of England and released closer to home

with the lad getting in 3 other birds along with yours

this would seem a more likely scenario

ok the ets ring and address ring being removed is a pain

but getting the bird back is the main thing

if someone did take these birds up and release then I don't thing he

would appreciate being called an *expletive removed* for his/her good deed

ive noticed every time a bird returns in good condition after being lost

most folk jump to the conclusion that something underhand was going on,

when it could be that someone was going out of their way to do you and the bird a faviour

Strange why the 4 doos entered the same loft at this time of year.

Roland · November 7, 2015

Think the Address ring being removed would suffice to say it had entered another loft ... But then I'm all for that ring, or ET ring being removed. A small price, in my opinion to let the owner know it has entered another loft and been fed and watered etc. But then that's me.

I wager a very last %tage of fancier have often wonder in this regards when a bird has arrive later on. Â£1 or so is a price that they would gladly pay for that info in the main.

I used to put a little sellotape around the ring. This told the owner such.

Accepted the rings don't cost much Roly, but as you say, you used to put sellotape round the ring to let the fancier know it had been in, so why remove rings?

Roland · November 7, 2015

Kyleakin, I didn't say I removed rings mate. Just that if SOMEONE remove one of mine, it is a small price to pay. I haven't had a stray in for 2- 3 seasons and very seldom before that actually. Mostly, regards strays, it has been when collecting from a non - fancier. Or doing a club mate a favour.

Think being under trees helps in that score.

Like I say how many time do we wonder where our bird is or has been. Put a bit of tape around the ring ...

The same thing happened to us, we send a two year old hen to the Gold Cup this year, but she never made it home, we got her reported 3 months later by a fancier who was clearly keen to keep her, he said he was just back from a holiday and she was their, in great nick??, she was my best yearling aswell, but no good to me now so he won, after agreeing to let him keep it, I felt we should have got her home, we were raging, this happens all the time. :emoticon-0179-headbang:

I understand that Roly. You don't remove the ring, just sellotape round it to let them know it has been cared for. What I meant was if they remove the ring to let you know it had been in, as was done with the rubbers, why can they not just do as you do and put tape on it.

Roland · November 8, 2015

Agreed Kyleakin 100%.

Maybe it hasn't crossed their minds, any removing the ring does. Used to be the Rubber removed.
