loft on ebay...

Its always sad to see a loft forsale as it usually means someone is packing it in and thats a shame, same as the homing world when I read who,s died I always think there goes another, and I dont supose they are starting up as fast as they are dying?

true martyn, your right in what your saying as they seem to leave in bigger numbers than they start........

yes your rite martyn nowhere near as many start up as pack in or pass on ,its so exspensive now and time consumeing which i dont mind personaly with the time but the money it costs was a shock to me

thats true darren, its been nearly 25 years since we packed in and what a shock i got when i restarted...........its all about money now eg potions and vitamins etc and the amount of feather merchants is unbelievable

theres to many feather merchants mate and i have found that alot of stuff in your own kitchen you can use for the birds though i do use some of the gem products and mix my own grit up but the cost of birds is getting silly

the thing which bugs me darren is that every week we read someone selling "top quality" stock birds, but in the details it never actually tells you what these birds themselves have bred to make them "top stock birds" it goes on and on about what their parents and grandparents have bred but this isnt telling you what the bird for sale has bred is it?

i think a lot of fanciers are falling for clever advertising and paying quite a lot of money for what is more or less pie filling........

does any body no this fancer or any body live close bye

think ian said its about 20 mile away from him........
