Peckedhen

Thanks again. Don't know why I worried, the noise didn't bother them and I don't think they've even noticed that the forty foot pine trees have disappeared. Trapping with no problem.

Thanks everyone - much appreciated.

I wonder if someone could help me... I'm having four big conifer trees cut down today, they are right up to the rear of the loft and I was wondering if all the noise would trouble the pigeons? Would I be better basketing and removing them them whilst the wood cutters are here? Another thought - these trees are massive - much bigger than the house - will the birds still find their way back to the house and into the loft when it looks totally different? Thanks.

Hi Ted, yes, improving slowly thanks, on inhaler but will never go in loft without a mask now. Hi Lindsay thankyou. Babybird - How's the dove release going?

Trapped in with my whites on Tuesday. It has no RPRA ring on but does have two coloured clip rings. It might have joined mine in Eccles, Manchester or Rising Bridge. If it's yours send me a PM. If no one claims it, it can have a home here - it's quite happy in with my Ybs.

Thanks guys. often lurking but not posted much....

Quality pure white Logans, will not disappoint. £25 per bird. Laying now.... Parents

Done. Hope they are successful.

I lost my mother in February so know just how you are feeling. It does get easier, take each day at a time. You will get there.

I cut mine with an electric saw - no problem.

Apologies if this has been posted before and I missed it. I have found a useful distance calculator on Google - OK, I know pigeons don't fly in a straight line but this is a lot better than looking at the distance by road from A to B. Hope it's useful to someone. http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm

It's good to know that they're keeping up Phil. Jimmy White had one racing which was doing very well - when he returns to PB I'll ask how it's doing.

I am so proud of my birds - they are so clever returning home no matter where I take them. In five years I have lost only one Logan on it's flight home. I'm not keen on the big wattles on the old cock, there again, I'm not keen on the wrinkles I'm getting in my old age!

That's good. I'd put water in too - it will keep them up in the nest box longer - less chance of them flying down early and getting scalped.

They will be almost ready to wean. Put a pot of food in their nest box so that they can see the cock feeding and they will soon start pecking themselves.
