That's just wrong! obviously they want to jump the cue and go straight into winning..

nothing new they been at it years cortisone in the eyes led to many deaths of there birds

i agree with that. if they can't do it the proper way then don't do it at all.!

Will second that G

are we giveing our birds some sort of drug, with all the stuff a lot of people is giveing mind you it has been known for quiet a long time they have been useing them one that I no of is baytril and that is used quiet often in england cos some people has told me over their, I have a feeling this is part of our loses the birds are bought from Belg or Hol and they have been druged up thats why they are getting rid of them when a bird has been useing drugs they not any good after

Elephant in the shed    from my perspective, I'm afraid  . When one start's talking about drugs etc. For the most part (head in the sand) by those in charge in my view & it's just to hard to police unfortunately. At the end of the day "It's a money thing" & very few are prepared to spend what is required in that area. To come up with a clean slate. As such !!!!!!!, there will always be those flyers, who stretch the friendship etc of what this sport is really all about, sadly.
