OLDYELLOW

I use Uk Pigeon Couriers not the cheapest but thats reflected in there top quality service you certainly get what you pay for , i've found other cheaper couriers to be very poor in the service they've provided no boxes not turning up on time late delivery of birds

can be delivered in liquid nitrogen but expensive and im sure be cheaper to buy from local supermarkets big icecream makers deliver using refigerated / freezer vans

there are much cheaper ways such as mobile phone text or email

perhaps maybe worth while asking local clubs maybe a few old hands wanting a partner so they can stay in the sport or ask council for allotments in your area where you can keep birds either way good luck

Nice first post perhaps you would like to introduce yourself ? Welcome to Pigeon Basics

hope you enjoyed yersen whilst weve shivered lol

Nice to go on holiday and get away from it all shame you couldnt bring the sun back with ya , hope you had a great holiday did you go anywhere nice ?

not racing ybs as were to advanced in there moult before training will be breeding far later next season , i blame the high winds and hold overs for the advanced moult , so will be removing a few from the team and winter rest and will get plenty of training in to them next year , not had the best of weather or racing conditions this year , hope next years alot better , global warming just another way of getting us all to pay more tax had coldest winter 2 weeks you could call summer rest been a wash out , i think biggest factor has been weather related and bops , i also wonder what efects the solar flares have had on training in last few days ?

R.I.P

seems to me the biggest problem is treating blind with antibiotics , the gunk is probably hexamitiss ( canker ) or conjuntivitus ( excuses spelling ) or sat in a direct draught or respirity without seeing the bird / loft impossible to diagnose correctly , respirtry if you put you ear to back of bird you should be able to hear the lungs inflate deflate if crackly probably respirity but other loft factors maybe still an issue and certainly need to sort the rodent problem out , best way is to go to a vet and get a proper diagnoses , yearling dying could quite be a heart attack

Well Done Susan

get an old stocking slip bird in to and suspend the bird to top of a box with a cup hook ensure it can get to food and water and back end clear for toilet if need be splint leg with a small piece of hosepipe and tape it up

Welcome to Pigeon Basics we hope you enjoy the site

if you catch the bird it may have a stamp on its wing of owners phone number , open the wing up carefully

washing up liquid neat massage in and rinse off repeat if needed , wrap in tea towel on warm hot water bottle also they may have ingested some oil some charcoal tablets / clay pickstones to cleans them internaly

Happy Birthday Chris ( young man wish i was that age again ) hope you have a great day

very nice hen

it may go after its had a rest and fed up , if your concerned it may be better if you can contain the bird in a box or something where it has access to food and water and ensure has plenty of ventilation holes in box , if you manage to catch it and get its ring number we will be able to forward the birds pigeon club to which its owner flys , alternatively the bird maybe stamped with a phone number on its wing if you carefully open the wing up , thanks for trying to help this bird
