greenlands Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 Hold overs and YBS I can cope with BUT BOP are getting to me,youngens have been hit twice at the loft and scattered all over the place,lads that I know who are on the line of flight for my birds are really getting hammered every time they let them out? What's training going to be like,not worth the time and effort. Yesterdays race from Fourgeres 50 mile away dropping in like a sprint race,like snow on a hot day here.
alec guinness Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 Getting really pished of with pigeon racing going to give it a series thought about packing in between ybs bop and holdovers it's doing my head in Poor me tam, you get far more than your share so chin up and on the bright side you have an excellent tweed jacket!!! Lol good luck today.
Blue Chequer Pied Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 Tam I agree with you. Old birds not been out of the loft for over a week and the young birds have not been out for over two weeks due to constant peregrine attacks. Last time they were out it was only 3 cocks and they were on them in seconds. Hunting as a pair they are deadly. I have lost 22 ybs off the loft and 4 old birds this year so far. Absolutely sick of it and can't see a way to continue.
bigjamie Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 gosh that is bad mate bad enough one but two and all them ybs lost off the loft through them is soul destroying mate
paddymac Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 Getting really pished of with pigeon racing going to give it a series thought about packing in between ybs bop and holdovers it's doing my head inIts happening all over Tam, I'm sure theres a lot more share your sentiment.
Roland Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Well, maybe it's time to do, as Bilco stated many years ago, and give them a beautiful coat on back.It sadly makes me laugh, though it is seriously not funny.RPRA asked, a few years back, regards having a 'Think tank' set up to do and help with many things, as a Spoke person for any Public notice. Also in regards the B.O.P. Problem.... the cost well less than £30,000 a year. Less than a £1 a year in today's members!! Yes, that's right a £1 a year!. Members soon saw that off, saying that the wealthy members who have offices and businesses' could do much work FOR FREE and they should foot the rest of the bill! Fact! True! On here a debate went on for a few months regards a right way of handling the B.O.P Problem. A think tank of course within P.R. firm to address our problem!Members who wanted to be on the list were chosen. Some excellent names too, yes well known and national flyers etc.Of course, the committee would have and should have stayed unknown till up and running. Not least because of the hassle and dirty trick campaigns that the RSPB is so well renowned for. Members on here, were not willing to let this happen, even at no costs to themselves. This whether they were not even interested. Letters were written to the BHW condemning it etc. Indeed irate became against anyone trying to help in this regards, though was nigh insane … the best reason put forward ... in utter stupidity, 'It was best not upset the RSPB'! Couldn't Adam and Eve it... correct. Also first off was that ANY and everyone should be named, and hence made public! Why eeemmm doh doh? In any event just what would be the cost to them? NOWT!There were great ways of raising funds RAISED TO!... costing members pennies... all being rejected by members on here! True. Head in sand eh! Now here we are 12 years later still no further with the problem, but the hope and belief SOME shining white Knight will gallop to the rescue still prevalent. P.s. They don't exist, that was in Fairy Land... the land where many tried to put those genuinely trying to help! Edited June 20, 2018 by Roland
Whats it called Cumbernauld Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 Tam I gave them up last year after over 40 years in the game. For me it was best thing iv done.got my life back nae stress or worries.Just not worth it.All the best whatever you do.

Guest mambo Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 What's needed is the Queen to state, should any peregrine holder, or nest the rspb hold or know of, they should be made to contact the holder of the pigeon it ate, failure to comply would be 5 years jail time.and £1000 fine.fight fire, with fire, and also to state how many they ring each year
bigjamie Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 why dont you ask john paton he loves the birds
Valiant Fifer Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 What's needed is the Queen to state, should any peregrine holder, or nest the rspb hold or know of, they should be made to contact the holder of the pigeon it ate, failure to comply would be 5 years jail time.and £1000 fine.fight fire, with fire, and also to state how many they ring each yearNowt wrong with the above statement.I've also had enough of all the hassle. Could be doing better things with no hassle !
kapri 07 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Posted June 18, 2018 On the subject of BOP the rspb are actually hiring companies to go around city centres take the rings out of the perigrinnes nest as they got caught in Norwich town hall doing so by someone filming surely that got to be illegal
Delboy Posted June 18, 2018 Report Posted June 18, 2018 Miserable, pessimistic bassas lol, get on with it and deal with the f kin problems.
