Has Anyone Ever Used This On Pigeons
OLDYELLOW replied to thomasd's topic in Novices, Beginners & Young Fanciers

added yours as well to your donation

unfortunately Ian wasn't able to do it and requested I helped , I have now attached my very first photo not using photobucket
-
I'm sure Ian will get round to doing it if he's said he would
-
(1) I don't think you have requested anyone to do so (2) It'as a thumbnail and can't be moved (3) if was a photobucket link I would of already done it
-
Starting to pair up now , probably will take a few photos next week when there all sorted

Birds are used to living outside and extremely tough they regulate there own heat , as long as they have water before them for most of the day they be fine , a little tip is to put a plastic beaker near your back door if waters frozen in beaker its most likely to be frozen in your loft .Is it too cold to be breeding no it's not just ensure your birds have plenty of nesting materials Biggest problem with frozen water is birds use water to regulate there heat , if they dehydrate they wont keep warm and would perish
-
you can buy heater pads or just simply water am empty before gets too dark and refill early morning after
-
it's not so much the widowhood system it's the style of boxes , it allows you to lock hen back feed and water , the cock already owns box and gets used to the hen of your choice which is important in both racing and showing if wishing to breed from your birds and pairing for shape / form , colouring or on winning genes
-
Merged your topic as I think this answers your question Widowhood style boxes makes pairing much easier , ensure cocks settled before introducing hens , ensure your birds aren't too fat before pairing , take note of which cocks have taken boxes and in which ones there in then place hens in the boxes you want them to be in feed hens in boxes for 3 days , the birds should be billing through the bars then let cock in with hen make sure hen has something to stand on just incase cock is aggressive once your pairs look to be paired put a bowl in straw on floor and let a few pairs out at a time till there going back to there own boxes then slowly you'l be able to let them have free acess to there boxes good luck Ensure you provide plenty of grit and minerals all year round

high winds last night expected to be same fer next 36 hours feels dam cold but the suns out which is nice to see
-
that could be a P.R stunt so no opposition but I truly hope its not allowed to go a head
-
I can't see the R.S.P.B issuing any licences to control bops , and any lifting of the protection order would mark open day on bop shooting , but I do think that anyone that is having problems with bops should have the right to protect there birds , so it would sort of be a halfway marker if there in the countryside as nature intended they should be protected any in built up areas should be removed
-
R.S.P.B will only ever see us as a conveyor belt supplying food for bops , it's a dam shame that we don't change our ways as well to start training / racing when bops are sat nesting , would only mean starting a little later and combining the young bird racing into the old bird programme but change wont come too many fossils in the sport , unfortunately fanciers wont come together for the greater good of the sport , although probably the best pigeons on these shores than on the continent we don't have the structure they have , wouldn't it be great to have one big club divide it up into sections so everyone's happy , more structured racing a lot of combined federations going down the road together saving money or a more fragmented sport as what it's becoming
-
well done , I think the R.S.P.B red list speaks for itself , The lack of song birds in general in every area is down to bops , bops are at saturation point and more needs doing to addressing natures balance bops have no natural predators . R.S.P.B say farming and cats are to blame , government set aside was created to encourage wildlife , farmers haven't been using the pesticides of the past and the only thing that flourishes is bops . Why is the cuck-coo in decline simply lack of viable nest made by the more common wild birds , which there own numbers show every species in decline other than bops and inland gulls on waste sites . Even now bops are in most towns cities and away from there natural environments this supports the saturation point as there naturally countryside / cliff birds . The truth is where's the dawn chorus birds all over your garden first thing , blue tits wrens chaffinches all disappeared from my garden , wont be too long before future generations wont ever see these birds if natures balance is not re addressed
