Trev some feds and nationals do not allow any form of ID on the birds so no stamps or anythingTrev wrote: Sat May 06, 2023 9:38 amI use the quickie rings on all my birds plus wing stamps until they have had a couple of trainers then I'll put their ETS rings on which have telephone stickers on them ready for racing. There really is no excuse, I do understand that the quickie rings can come off and that some fanciers feel the need to remove ets rings from straysyou can of course get life address rings too !!!
So true, I always feed, water and give shelter to any that come in, in saying that not had one in for a while nowMurray wrote: Sun May 07, 2023 9:13 am I have an unrung stray in my stock shed tonight.
I have an idea where it might have come from. A local bloke has given the game away and I hear that he dumped some out in the bush then took the loft down.
Not ideal, I wouldn't have thought.![]()
Anyway it turned up thin and dirty, and I ignored it for a few days. Then I just threw it a handful of corn. Then it hopped into the loft.
So I grabbed it and put it in a box for the night. Took it with me on the way to work and let it go. An hour later I had a message. "Guess who's back".![]()
So after a cold night hanging on the sputnik again, it's gone into the stock shed and is tucked up in the corner of the roof.
I don't want it, but it is fed and safe and warm.
On a cold night, you cannot refuse to do that.![]()
