lost me a little . i am a member of the R.P.R.A. if i have birds rung for example SHU,NEHU,NWHU. would i have to register them with the R.P.R.A. ?? i already have loft nos for NEHU and SHU for the birds i have rung with there rings. andy.
no you will transfer them with the union the ring belongs to and the will be registered in your name IE: SHU registered with SHU, and so on,
-
I think its only the WHPU that require non WHPU issue rings to be registered with them.
yes think u are right all others you regester their rings with them, dont think you have to register belg etc rings as you have a owners card, its only if they get reported it would be best to have them registered, but then not sure if they will get to the union they are registered with
-
so (if your affiliated) to the R.P.R.A. you can race the SHU rung birds without transfer? is that correct? andy.
no you would transfer them through the SHU you need a SHU transfer form you would then get a SHU loft number,
-
shu rings are registered with shu as other unions i think, just like I have GB rings they are registered with the RPRA

something to consider. A friend built a beautiful new house and after it was finished he had a loft built. He then had two of those electronic cat scarers fitted up each side of the loft. These were top of the range scarers. From time to time I would visit and we would sit drinking coffee watching his birds flying up and down and in and out of the open doors of the loft. It was great and the birds had their freedom most of the time.
A couple of times we saw cats coming along a path towards the loft just outside is property. It was quite amusing to see how they would come into range of the cat scarers and change direction. I remember telling him, as a joke, that he should be careful that there was not a deaf cat in the area.
Two or three monthes later I had a panic phone call from my mate. A cat had attacked the pigeons. The first thing I asked was to find out if the cat scarer device was switched on and working. It was.
As it turned out my joke had been a prediction, although we had not realised at the time. After that I helped him to fit an electric fence unit. That was about 10 yeaqrs ago and no cat problems since that time.
The moral of this story is, that you should beware of deaf cats. Mind you, the cat concerned could have been starving hungry and determined. We will never know.
yes agree about deaf cats, you now get them with strobe lights on them, for cats, the one i have the strobe light is supposed to be for birds, I still say the scarecrow water jet is best,
-
Agree with it all Owen
When i have the lofts completed i will be having some metal rods fixed on the back of the lofts with possibly barbed wire on, also some of the cat ultrasonic scarers for when i have the birds out - Also now never leave my birds out on there own which is something i tended to do at the old house.
The reason i havent gone for the electric fence is my lofts are right next to a dyke so i think i actually need the cats to be under the loft in the night to keep any potential vermin away.
If it wasnt for this reason the electric fence would be the only option i would take.
I got an ultrasonic deterent from one of the sunday papers,its great and it works,the company garantees it or money back,
it has the sound you cant hear or you can turn it onto alarm, and it would scare\ anything, I saw the same one on here in the google adverts, its the advert with all the small bird houses on them, this one also has a strobe light on it to keep birds away, this you turn off when birds out,

this thread was removed to clean it up a bit as it was getting out of hand and personal, so will put it back on locked so as to let members still see the debate it was meant for, thanks for your cooperation,
-
I dont see this thread going any further with regards to giving information or doing any benifit to members or the SNFC, the place to get answers and sort out any problems is at the AGM of the organisation not on the open forum, yes we allow discussions etc but feel this one has had its course and any further outcome best sorted at the meeting so think it will be in everyones interest to close the thread now as its keeping the moderators involved in moving posts etc. thanking you for your cooperation,
