Re: Strange behaviour

The other night I went up to check mine and I found in one box that both the cock and the hen were sitting in the bowl together. Don’t know if they were sitting an egg each lol.

Re: Some of my 2022 babies

Some lovely looking youngsters Trev. Are the barless mealies down from the king of the Faroes line? It isn’t as easy putting the photos on as it was on the other site. That was one of the things that I really liked with it. Not only could you see what you were putting on but also when looking at the...

Re: Had stray in.

I think one of the problems is that most people either don’t want or can’t afford to get pigeons back. At £55 courier each time it can be very expensive.

Re: Had stray in.

You must have a different system over there. Here every club or fed has a ring secretary whose phone number is on the life ring. Strays are reported to that number, the secretary contacts the owner. Our union rules state that all birds trained or raced must carry either a wing stamp on three flight...

Had stray in.

Yesterday I had a stray hen turn up. My birds were on open loft and I noticed this blue w/f among them. She just seemed interested in pairing up. She came in the loft yesterday evening. She looks like a latebred. She has no phone ring or wing stamp and wasn’t rubbered or carrying an ETS ring so I do...

You can never tell

We had a topic on here the other day from Trev saying about a youngster that was beaten up when he tried moving it into another nest. We said at the time that youngsters need to be hatched under a foster pair in order to produce milk. I do agree. This is a bit different though. I had a pair of young...

Re: Life in Bendigo.

It's been a wet old day. I had a couple out overnight from a short toss, probably after a falcon gave them a chase. One was there this morning, the other one arrived at some stage and they sat out in the rain all day. Wouldn't come in. Because I didn't let them out today, when I went out to quickly...
