This is the only answer I can find

 

Infection of poultry with LPAI viruses may cause no disease or mild illness and may only cause mild signs (such as ruffled feathers and a drop in egg production) and may not be detected. Infection of poultry with HPAI viruses can cause severe disease with high mortality. Both HPAI and LPAI viruses can spread rapidly through flocks of poultry. HPAI virus infection in poultry (such as with HPAI H5 or HPAI H7 viruses) can cause disease that affects multiple internal organs with mortality up to 90% to 100%, often within 48 hours. Some ducks can be infected without any signs of illness.

My birds have not been out since the announcement of bird flu hoping that our friends have been feeding else where on contaminated wild life

 

Let them out today and after 10 minutes one hit the window within 2ft of me and dog, rest were scattered everywhere sure as sheit is sheit there it was watched it attack a bird very high up missed then floated off towards Inverurie. Had a welcoming part waiting on it's return but has not reappeared :emoticon-0179-headbang:

There has not been any restrictions on Racing pigeon in 2016 / 2017 for showing or racing indeed the Xmas race went ahead successfully

 

If we keep up this negative attitude we might just plant some seeds in others heads that we don't want to race and are looking for an excuse

 

Looking for problems seems to be a big part of pigeon racing if some of you spent more time looking into methods to look after your birds instead of looking at every avenue why you don't / can't win / race or can't help at the club we might get the sport up and running better

 

So come on stop looking for:

 

Antibiotics (unnecessary using of)

Vaccines (illegal ones)

Magic potions (money wasters)

Criticizing officials at every avenue

 

Try implementing the rules properly not leaving it to a few others

Then complain when things go wrong

 

Try reading the rules on transportation of racing pigeons and apply the rules this will help us if problems do arise

 

At the moment most are not complying with DEFRA rule and if things go wrong we are on the wrong side of the fence, our priority should be to comply so we are on the right side and can show we are doing our best to help, after all the powers that be have said pigeons don't contract Bird Flu so we should help to keep it that way

Well said Ian.

[Roland]

Have to hand it to you Ian, nicely put... Maybe a lot more to come as you may well be holding back much more.lol.

On top of that Ian, these same pigeon people (Supposedly) are often the very ones that boo - hoo those that don't!

Indeed in a reality check they very often take to task those that don't waste time effort in weakening their birds constitutions spouting silly things as to why we should, and then have the audacity to try and lay the blame on those of us that healthy birds and don't get such ailments that the have further incurred lol.....

 

 

Just joshing ... well nearly and wish that was true
