Yes Dave,when Rufin passed away the house and land was sold and Luc doesn’t have a garden so ended up selling all the birds.

I've made it known on here that I dont agree with OLR for several reasons but in a moment of weakness I have succumbed to putting a couple in the Shropshire OLR.
I drink regularly at our local pub and must have had a few too many cos my mates (non fanciers) talked me into it.
For them its like owning a share in a race horse. They are loving it. They chose the Shropshire one because it appeared to be one of the smallest.
I was at pains to explain the reasons for potential losses!
Any tips on the type of bird to put in would be most welcome Steve.

Hi Dave I hope you and your friends enjoy the experience. Just send the best that you think you have, what I would do is make sure that they are vaccinated for PMV and Rota, and try and have then 7 or 8 weeks old when you send them

Thanks for the heads-up Steve.
Well done again for your result - Are you entering any Brit ones...?
