Off Season Ways With Your Birds

[THE FIFER]

What is your routine during the first few Months of the off season, are your birds getting out , etc.

[VAGIN]

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.

Feed, water, grit and REST. Remember plenty of baths too, anything that struggles in anyway gets the Kingbilly blackbag.

Am in Del's camp, it's time tae leave them in peace and get a good moult over them. Seperated the racers right after Roye to get them moulting early & so a can have a go at the early shows and for September they are well in front of my stock Doos so am quite content.

alf, your a *expletive removed* but asye am on it , ha haaaaa . :emoticon-0136-giggle:

[Dave barrie]

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.
