    "bops"

    We should use the power of this site to raise awareness, admin should be campaigning and pushing for change not just worrying about site statistics and upsetting people, I know it is hard to change but we have a strong voice if we use it, Basics is still regarded as the voice of pigeon fanciers throughout the world

    "bops"

    As much as I hate them they are doing what's natural, pigeons breed any number of clutches to survive whereas predators only breed one clutch as they are the top of the food chain. I you send a number of pigeons up when they are looking for food to raise their young them train them to hunt they are going to take it and they young are going to survive a lot more adding to our problem. Pigeon racing has to change to combat this or the problem will continue and not only that it will grow as we have seen in recent years, Bigda is right(I can't believe I am saying that) but the money machine of the RSPB won't bat an eyelid if pigeon racing is obliterated from britain. they will take notice if their wee cute pamphlet cover song birds get decimated as they they make millions from us buying into feeding and housing them in our gardens creating more income for them, but if their 1,000,000 members at £3.00 a pop on top of all their merchandise complained then they would do something about it. Will pigeon men ever agree to change, well not yet, because speaking out is demonised incase you rock the boat of a one way Titanic and we all know how that turned out

    I think there is a pair on the Forth Road Bridge if not near it as you can see them attack pigeons and other birds like starlings all the time

    There is one at Balgonie Castle on the edge of Glenrothes on the A911 to Windygates and they have raised a few young in their time, The Laird of Nobody Cares uses it a marketing tool for his events and tells guests it is for keeping down the vermin pigeons
  9. Is there still a pair at the quarry, you are only minutes from the nest and less if you are a peregrine, they must have raised a few young by now
  10. If it is the eagle owl cd i have them, i can send you one, they have to played really loud and even that it is debateable if they work
  11. Happy belated birthday wishes Fifer
  12. My first attempt at a pint and only pint in a pub was my 18th birthday with my step dad in the Alpha Bar in Smeaton Kirkcaldy which was my families local, I never drank because I was too busy training, it was to say the roughest in the area and I knocked the table and spilled it along with a few others. I was then thrown a mop by a Dunk Glen who ran it and was told a stretch inside would soon learn me how to use one The Alpha bar was famous for the darts player Jocky Wilson who I remember in his early days him playing for steak pies on a Sunday and selling mackerel in the pub to feed his family I just about bought the The Alpha Bar in the late 80's but a better opportunity came up, the rest is history

    Salt !

    Pigeons and other animals will find minerals etc from various sources for whatever they are craving, worms could be a problem as the high salt diet may kill off the eggs, racing pigeons should be wormed regularly, I have a half an oak barrel which has salt licks for horses on a post which they peck at, also type one ballast dust or small grains and crushed scallop shells and crushed sandstone yet they still root out other minerals. The guy next door works in agriculture and he is constantly on farms, the birds from the cotes, which never get ill, peck away under his car to get what they want and one pecks up his exhaust much to Carol's annoyance as it looks like it had a black head
  14. We have tried to rally pigeon fanciers in the past but pigeon fancier mentality is so petty that they end up arguing with each other as everyone wants to be at the helm and steer their own course. The RPRA who should take the helm are not interested as they are too frightened of the RSPB lobby and bad press for wanting to cull these beautiful birds that devastate lofts and cotes and the public are well groomed by nice pictures of them and the high majority think that pigeons are vermin I would support anyone that can stop this happening to our birds I could post loads more
