davie gullane Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 I'm pretty sure they would support ye if ye offered tae open a stray centre in your area. The only obstacle to more stray centres is finding someone to run them. We are quite fortunate that one does suffice but down south you's would need 6 or 7 IMO three across southern England East Mid's West Mid's NW & NE. Like every other job it's a thankless task especially when they return without an ETS ring on. Owners automatically point the finger at the stray officer but Nae mention of it coulda been the guy that had it in, easier tae blame somebody ye know I think !!!But if ye can handle that yer half way there í ½í±í ½í¸€Thanks John you know that they don't understand the time and effort that goes into running a stray centre. The fact that they even suggest the removal of ETS rings by the stray officer is a joke. The only way that I would remove an ETS RING Is if the bird didn't survive and I also remove its life ring tie both of them together with a piece of string And give it to the person picking up the birds for the Federation's to give to the owners. I do the job to the best of my ability and it is for the love of the pigeons that I do it and not for financial reward I could earn more in 1 weekend at my own job than the 21+ hours that I spend at the stray centre each week for 8 weeks of the young bird season.SHU Stray Officer
