THE FIFER Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 What is your routine during the first few Months of the off season, are your birds getting out , etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGIN Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Just now I have seperated all my birds as they are heavy in the moult , Im concentrating on a complete scrub down thats removing all nest boxes . This warm spell helps to dry the lofts out quickly. The next job is to cocentrate on the outside with a coat of paint.I dont let my bird out at this time of the year due to the heavy moult makes them easy prey to bops .I have noticed in the last few weeks a lot of small garden birds have moved into the gardens around me The wee robin has been away all summer, now he is back claiming his territory, On checking my Y/Bs 24 bred 6 brought in all raced 2/3 races 20 left , none of the 10 missing reported all had phone rings on????Looking forward to a couple of shows keeps me ticking over the winter.

Delboy Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Feed, water, grit and REST. Remember plenty of baths too, anything that struggles in anyway gets the Kingbilly blackbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave barrie Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 1st open on a national shouldt be judged on short distans from lib and fastest to clock it sghould be edurance of flight and best bird on day, its okay putting sprinters to a nat if you are a step frae the border but try judging the effort involved with these doos, its bluddy amazin tae reach the noorth in a day , cmon lads sections prises are fine for those that get them but hey thjey birds are worth more than a bluddy section job, snfs you are a joke.
