pjc Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 do they get them early or are they forged as some of the others sold on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shweet Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I dont know, a lot of people seem to be bidding on them. I just assumed that they got them early and was making money out of them. People would be able to have some age in there young birds being able to breed them october, november.

Guest shadow Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 not worth the hassle if you buy them need to register them as foreign rings if the birds were lost no way of getting them back and a lot of them arenot legal rings they are fakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 2 different colour Taiwan to start with and how would somebody in Ramsgate have Saudi rings and why would the ring cards be in english? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spin cycle Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Just wondering----Why would a flyer NOT want to use rings issused by his club/FED????? Buy on e-bay -- pay for shipping----they must have Money to burn. OR maybe they want to Scam someone ----sell "import" pigeons??? perhaps its collectors bidding on them. it would be a laugh down the club to have some saudi rings....i just saw them and wondered if it was possible to use them (providing they're genuine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IB Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I would hope that they were for collectors only. Surprised e-bay tolerates counterfeit stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 as with everything on there its buyer beware but when fanciers are involved in forged rings thats a different story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 the rings are real, its just some countries issue there rings at different times of year to coinside with the right time of year to race, there are some contries that have several different rings within it as we do NWHU,NEHU,GB etc etc. I did tell the sellers of foriegn 2010 rings the shouldnt be selling them early as some one could put them on young birds and have the flying before any 1 else. Some countries have there ring cards in english such as Saudi Arabia rather than Arabic! you can use the saudi rings , but not the KLPR or CTRPA as these are 100% plastic and banned in the UK. Some people use foriegn rings for a laugh down the club, but its agreed its getting out of hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluey Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 It seems that people buy foreign rings to use on GB bred pigeons to gain an advantage with older pigeons for young bird racing. My question is how are these foreign rings treated as far as importation/quarantine rules apply. Who checks that these "importations" are legal ? Is it RPRA or MAFF or most likely NO ONE, bearing in mind that pigeons MUST be rung in their country of origin it seems that the rules are ignored by anyone who wants break them and sadly by the people who are supposed to enforce them.

lordcornwallis Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 hi there if someone is not in a union can he not use these rings if he intends to sell young birds or maybe join a club in the future and race birds or even show .if the saudi rings are legit i dont see a problem. lc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMason Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I'm sure it's against RPRA rules to ring a bird with a foreign ring if it’s born in this country. With that said, if you have the ring card. They can't possibly know. Also, it's just a ring. So who cares if someone is racing a bird with a foreign ring on it (if it’s a genuine one of course) even if it wasn’t born in the UK. It’s the pigeon that does all the work, not the ring.
