scott mca Posted August 27, 2016 Report Posted August 27, 2016 Thank you for looking after my young bird arrived home safe and sound Missing his ETS ring
buster151 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Posted August 27, 2016 With the greatest of respect many posts have been put on various sites lately, about birds returning minus ets rings, one person said his had been found in a crate and handed back to him, not saying this has happened in your case but people to quick to point fingers sometimes and there could be a very reasonable explanation as to why it has come back without it, as I say no disrespect to anyone
Roland Posted August 27, 2016 Report Posted August 27, 2016 Aye, and you KNOW now where it's been in another loft and looked after. Fed and watered at no costs etc. I think the relevant part of your post is '....Thank you for looking after my young bird arrived home safe and sound ....' as it should be. Think we ought to have a whip round to reimburse any disgruntled and peed of skint flint whinging regards the small cost of an E.T. ring! ... Oh of course I forget these costs may take away a little from the £000's pounds spent on new stock (Feather merchants are high on the list) and other fancy gadgets. Good looking assessments needlessly bought eh! Plus the quiddies spent on would be race winning aids, or spent on so called health aids! Fancy feeds etc. NOW these are real 'RIP OFFS'! Gosh I mean just what is the cost of a quid in today's so called sport?!

Pego Posted August 27, 2016 Report Posted August 27, 2016 We also had a youngster return on Friday without it ets ring and replaced with a bright orange plastic ring. (lost an ets ring and gained a plastic ring )
Roland Posted August 27, 2016 Report Posted August 27, 2016 John, you are a sad case. no scruples, or decency. Yet you TRY to belittle me - yet again - with insolence becoming of the half wit you are. Rather than demeaning my posts with stupidity, why don't you - FOR ONCE- explain how and why... Of course if that's not above you intelligence grade!
Buff Posted August 27, 2016 Report Posted August 27, 2016 Aye, and you KNOW now where it's been in another loft and looked after.

Gosh I mean just what is the cost of a quid in today's so called sport?!Aye well he's had a £1.50 ets ring for his trouble of feed and water . At least they never just put it in the bin then I guess ain't that right ? Should be thanking them and asking if they could get in touch he could send him another couple ets rings as a good gesture 🙈🙈🙈🙈 We also had a youngster return on Friday without it ets ring and replaced with a bright orange plastic ring. (lost an ets ring and gained a plastic ring )Some people would think that was a fair exchange I recon pego lol unreal mate

Thanks for looking after my young bird is that what we as true TRUE pigeon fanciers do to lost birds. I am grateful that my bird's back but would be more pleased if he had both boots on..

Thanks for looking after my young bird is that what we as true TRUE pigeon fanciers do to lost birds. I am grateful that my bird's back but would be more pleased if he had both boots on.. Got to agree with this post, any decent fancier will look after strays until they are ready to be liberated or picked up without tampering with any rings. It's not the cost of the ring that bothers us it's the inconvenience of having to get another re-assigned to the bird. Do us a favour guys if you are that desperate for an ets ring, please leave the one on the bird, give's a call and we'll send you a nice shiny new one.

Roland Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 Well, to be honest, I marvel at the plight one puts them selves in because they may lose £5 a year or so - IF extremely unlucky, because their birds go into another's loft instead of returning to the own loft. It's pathetic to say the least and nonsense of the highest order. Scot say's ' .... What a load of P*** so your alright with theft then cos what ever way you look at it that what it is. Thanks for looking after my young bird is that what we as true TRUE pigeon fanciers do to lost birds. I am grateful that my bird's back but would be more pleased if he had both boots on...' Get over it and get a life. You get rob every day in supermarkets. Every time you BUY any thing. Pay for anything nigh. BUY a bag of Corn! Yet some are whinging over someone feeding and watering and looking after their' pigeon for a flipping £1!!! Eek! Struth! Of course I can see the likes of John Hunter jumping on board.- Need we say any more! Sad thing is also the reality seems to be, one doesn't see any others nationalities in the UK moaning about the £1 lost (Is it a Scottish thing lol ) Most are thankful. Scot send me your address and I'll send you that £1 30 you are so sad in losing. Indeed I think WE ought to have a fund set up for those that may lose a fiver a year. Being most for the Scots (lol) payment would only be with proof of losses of course! Gosh isn't it time this rubbish was put to bed once and for all!
Roland Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 P.s. I expect a wrap on wrist via Andy or another M.O.D. for making light hearted of such. Whilst I agree any and every thing can, or should be debated, discussed in a knowledgeable and understanding way ... But to moan about something so trivial that CAN'T, nor will ever be changed, is just futile surely.
JohnQuinn Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 I was putting Doos through at one of the SNFC races this year and there were 3 birds in the guys basket who's ETS rings were not clipped shut. He was flummoxed as to how this could be as he had been racing them all year with ETS intact.Like everything else if we don't know for a Fact what's happened tae remove their ring it's left tae our best guess. Best guess is Seldom other than some bassa swiped it.

Gosh isn't it time this rubbish was put to bed once and for all!So what your saying Roland it's your NORMAL Practice to remove the ets rings and stray that enters your loft as a payment for " Room and board " ?? Now you send Scott your address then this can be addressed by the proper means 🙈🙈
Roland Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 So what your saying Roland it's your NORMAL Practice to remove the ets rings and stray that enters your loft as a payment for " Room and board " ?? Now you send Scott your address then this can be addressed by the proper means 🙈🙈 Buff, buff behave! Twisting words and facts only stands to demean yourself! Of course that is not what I am saying, and well you know it ... Of course, as any one with a halfpenth of thought would know. I certainly don't condone stealing in any way or form... and this at best is marginal in theft. The Indeed must are dishonest today in many ways, and not least in the saying 'Weer others do it. But that is still wrong. But AGAIN I will say MOST, EVEN on here are guilty in many forms of stealing, so don't please act the martyr here. What I am saying is simply. SOMEONE has looked after the bird. FED feeding and watering it, and B. you know it has entered - most likely and WATERED it! So that is TWO thank you's. You owe the man. A. for feeding and watering it, and B.the fancier letting you know! So what? So it can cost you a quid. Big deal. Get over it! Because one thing for certain is you, me or Scot won't change a darn thing. It will go on. Like pinching a bag in the supermarket to say 5p! Paper clips from the office. Using the deep litter from clubs meant for the crates etc. etc.
Roland Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 Besides Buff I often return the bird up to many miles free of charge as many on here can VOUCH for! I've put up to £500 of my own money for fanciers on here, though having never met them or knowing next to nothing about them. But been to auctions as such and bought the bird / birds that they fancied. So the £1 jibe is way below the belt and uncalled for. Behave your self and don't tar any one with the brush you use on your self, there's a good chappie. Now stand in line behind John Hunter and Dall2 to take silly pot shots

It's not about a £1 ya knob it's what's right and what's wrong do you actually no the difference between right and wrong no wonder the sport is in the state it is with *expletive removed* like you and your comments
