Reporting Strays ...

Only a few seconds they say. Have a feeling here many at times will be somewhat disappointed & frustrated somewhat David. When real life kicks in there in a pigeon type sense when reporting birds End of the story     local government department down here recently    gave out a similar type promise to the local peasant folk       in need. 12 months down the track 7 million calls went unanswered apparently from the local peasants somehow, when requiring help of an urgent type nature there.  

if a bird is reported is the owner informed

not sure george, i would think it probably is, i know if you register by email you get an email telling you a bird has been reported .

I ask silly question perhaps If & when your RPRA there finally maybe finishes up in the sewer scenario through all its troubles of woe & mismanagement as reported of late. Who then will do what they do type thing on the ring/stray report issue & at what cost to the general members swimming the best way they can under the circumstances to simply stay afloat & especially for those involved in your International type races which many rather enjoy apparently.

i think the text service could be a good thing if members honor it

been thinking about this, and it seemed strange this has just been advertised ....... ive already reported a stray by text message in the past, and also seen other fanciers doing the same, i wonder why the rpra has suddenly said we can report via text message when its not a new method .......

i have collected injured birds in the past the owners did not want them back no more will not collect another bird

its not worth getting involved sometimes george, the one i reported last lived in the next street to our ex club secretary, he didnt seem too bothered about it so i took it round to him ..... other times the owner expects the finder to keep their crap because they either cant be bothered recovering it or they think its not worth recovering ...

so i think if its not worth recovering why was it worth breeding it in the first place.

just moved some injured birds on bred nothing

i find it hard to do george, got some here to go but keep putting it off .
