At least you have it to flow lol ;D ;D

Sorry Jimmy missed your post.

Is when you fly HENS only, female is a widow.. A cock bird - a Male is a Widower. Do you mean Widowerhood?

Barley can - and I feed barley nigh all the time, sometimes with Wheat and a proportion of maples / tic beans. The good thing is it is a naturual blood purifier. Bad thing it lacks a fair bit, and has low proportions on other essential properties. This can lead to two things. 1. overwieght because they over eat, if allowed, to compensate what they are missing. 2. One certainly doesn't want any toxin poison that can occur with too mauch barley.

Well it is fine when keeping fish. Many aquarist do as such, as indeed I did. The reason was two fold. One to keep in trim wieght wise and two it meant they scaverage for any food on bottom etc. So the tank benefitted as they was nowt there to pollute. BUT it was, and is for conditioning the fish, indeed there wasn't much left to scavage any road. Was a time when prisoners were fed 3 days food... 3 days bread and water and one day nothing. This again was also found to be be good health wise... Again many people, well not so many lol now - do fast one day a week to cleanse out the system. It IS ad has been done for a few years now regards pigeons. Again to cleanse the system. Yes of course many slans and angles and view will be prevalent on this topic. Personally I can only see good from it. JMO.

Interesting post that. Obviosly the Pigeon Paper atracts more views I'd imagine, be hard to actually say which percentage buying wise was best I guess.

Cats,I have a real dislike for them but be careful. http://www.cats.org.uk/catcare/leaflets/EG10-Catsandthelaw.pdf Lindsay. Thats good then, rcognising their rights as animals, and protection. By the very same token it must that they then can recognise all Animals / birds / etc. as properties etc. Especially when pigeons have rins of proven ownership.

Husband asks his wife:How many men have you slept with? Wife proudly replies: Only you darling, with all the others, I was awake! Six retired Jewish Floridian fellows were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Meyer loses £500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing, but standing up. At the end of the game, Finkelstein looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna tell his vife?" They cut the cards.. Goldberg picks the low card and has to carry the news. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse. "Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me." Goldberg goes over to the Meyer's condo and knocks on the door. The wife answers through the door and asks what he wants? Goldberg declares: "Your husband just lost £500 in a poker game and is afraid to come home." "Tell him to drop dead!" yells the wife. "I'll go tell him." says Goldberg. =

Lol ;D ;D ;D I believe I implied when I get the cash like. If not, then I say so now lol

Firstly CATS do not have a license to roam. That is a over well used myth. Cat owners ARE responcible for any damage, carnage, killing etc. to your property / live stock etc. etc. Was first put wise on the BBC 'Ask the Judge'. Have since been reinforce both privately and publically. Indeed such as Alf Jones and many more warn any new house holders to keep their cats away from his gardens / lofts etc. Often asked how etc. And simple reply is 'Don't know, nor care, but they will lose their lives if they stray onto Mine'! Further he asks 'Just what and why do you think you can just let your cats out to foul, stick out our gardens and kill on my property'. He has even knocked on doors and showed them dead cats and says' I'm good for my word.... Keep your cats off my property'! cat owners can and have been sued for their cats killing rabbits, pigeons etc. That is the truth of the matter and myths don't / won't stand up in court. Others just catch and remove others cats. But that I guess is illegal :-/ :o

Always use to use garden lime. Does away with many nasties and loverly fresh smell. One should dab / rub it in with a rag like. A slight damp one regardless of IB's taboo's on E Coli etc. Mostly in later days I would mix like a think paint and paint every thing. Now pne can get a Agri Lime, sold in 25 kg bags, for approx £5, It does everything good that lime should do, but doesn't lift when birds flap wings, thus eliminating all that unpleasantness associated with regular lime. I've often scrape out then brush in lime. Many of us, most in one club swear by putting a Table spoon full in the drinkers, well stirred and left over nigh for the birds to have next day. I / we believe this has the calming effect and is a good proventive against Y/B sickness.

Is angry at having his photo took ... Understandable that obviously. Not many that ugly stand still even for it lol :P ;D ;D ;D

Yes if wanting to keep an eye out of the window for cats etc. REmember you must have the roof sloping downwards to you .... So you can see if any thing is on the loft ... many have looked and saw nowt, because the cat was at back end out of view.. Can have a gutter covered with 1/2 inch wire so the birds can't peck in it.

That's just what I thought lol .... Soon have a secret Society where we can pass along name eh! :P ;D ;D ;D Mind would take ages, and soon get fed up with writing myself eh!

best on the roof. Very good thing is a sky light or such.

Don't for a minute Ronnie think two rounds will harm any fit and healthy birds. Mind can be, and most likely is, anything but Phar.

Yep, I'd mate them to the same hen. At different times of course. Mind that works a darn site better with hens mated to the same cock bird

Allows them to stand, walk slowly, but no balance to fight with. They just fall over and give up. Indeed others all settle down too.

Well as for me, I am all for naturual immunisation. However there are times, whether we like it or not. Or whether in most cases we have caused it, which of course many have. There comes a time when our birds need our help. They thought Polio was erradicated till they stopped jabbing. Soon put paid to that when it quickly came rife again. That is, and has been the most effective jab of all time. Many preventives don't stop a bird from catching, as many still do and become carrierss, but the consequencies can be a lot lot less. Having had Samonella / Pharhoid let me tell you it is devasting. One bird with it can handle a treat and win in a show pen.... and infect the loft! Hence why I have stripped my whole loft down. Every single inch has been blow torched well. Will have two / three coats of paint. Nest boxes have been soaked in Bleach. Dried and now will be blowed torched throughly. Then varnished. Am discarding my nest bowls and going back to two bricks. Yes well bleached and blowed torched. Vikron will be used every scrape. Why? :-/ Because it is one hell of a thing to get shot off. AND now well shot off I won't ever let up in the slightest to maintain a tight run ship to eliminate any and every chance of ever having it again! Now as for anyone vaccinating against such disasters :-/ ... we all are custodians of our birds and have to do wha we think is best for our birds and that is ALL inmates. Will be debating next Monday a to whether I shall vaccinate... seems likely I will be.

Tie their feet together allowing just 2 inches of slack.

I believe that many, rightly or wrong, but I tend to agree with, often send a stray up the road after being kept overnight in spare room etc. this of course if they seem not the worse after a light feed and watered. Yes have phone the owner and kept a few days as agreed, and took them some / part way towards their loft. Most get home. Believe that a different lib often rekindles and jolts their instinc whatever it is and they home as they are suppose too. As for Ron123 I think he should repost them to their owners. Say they he thinks they may have been amongst his when they had their last toss. - Mind if he takes them 20 miles up the road the other way, most likely they'll home and then have to face the music... Yep Ron123, whatever, just report them. if they come back again after, report them again .... most likely you will transfer them and lose them ... especially as they may well go back home lol. Nothing stranger than pigeons and Folks, and many pigeons - if allowed have two lofts.

Of course, several have. Natrix for example won at 50 miles and Massieles for Jim Biss and he'd finish the season off with another 50 mile win. Like many of his and others birds have and do.
