Hi David yes im fine but its hard and lonley glad ive got my birds it keeps my feet on the ground so to speak it just take time
Thanks Denise

yes denise, my birds have helped me through similar times too.....whatever happens, the birds still need to be fed and watered, they take your mind off to a certain degree.

At times denise one wonders just what life is all about, it goes without saying that I feel for your loss as I lost my fiirst wife some 35 years ago and still can have unhappy days when I look back and think what I did wrong and what I should have done etc;

Just think of the happy times and thank the Lord for them.

Kind regards.

Same, same . Hopefully I hope Denise, between your close/near family & your little champs there they will help take the pain away in your sad unfortunate moment in time etc.

hi knackered i spent quite a bit of time now with birds and it does help just doing little jobs that joe was going to do while they have a fly about it takes my mind off things nattering if birds are coming back little sods

how did your breeding go denise, I remember you were having a few small problems with them at one time.

[quote="David"]doing ok now thanks but about 6 weeks ago i was broke into think it was khey killed about 6 young birds ready to leave nest and let my young racers out next day a young lad and his dad came on garden with a bucket and 3 young babies and one of my racers said he found them down quarry load of porkys

mmmm, yes, sounds very suspicious ...probably the young lad took them home and his dad made him bring them back.

makes you wonder what some people have in their heads to want to harm innocent animals.

Many moons ago here Denise I was in a bad place type of thing etc. Doctors couldn't help Government of the day     didn't give a rats arse as such about me but my pigeons back then, thankfully saved me & ever since then I've always been thankful here for the magic they possess type of thing.

*****[/quote Hi Knackered doctors are a sore point with me last 3 weeks of his life we have had to fight for everything ,social services are same i employed my daughterinlaw whos a carer and my son to look after him through social theyve took my top up off me but still fighting for carers wages and hes been dead now 3 weeks they just dont care my son comes up plays hell up with me tells me to get to garden and unwind but my hens and pigeons do help a lot hope you are ok and your pigeons are still keeping you on your toes lol

Know the feeling regarding break ins denise, two young people, I will not call them men, broke into my loft and took every pigeon, it was in a remote place on Olivers Mount.

The police eventually found the culprits who had taken all the rings from the birds. the police put notes on the few pigeons that had survived, the rest had died of negllect, and let them go to see if they returned to my loft, only one did.but it was enough for the culprits to go to court.

At the court hearing I said if the Judge did not deal with them I would, they got 12 months prison sentence, the Judge knew how infuriated I was at not only losing the pigeons but the manner they had been treated.
.
They only had ask and I would have set them up with pigeons.

It is a sad fact that in this day and age nothing that happens choose how bad no one appears to be overly concerned.

I am sure that the lads on this site would assist you in any way possible and I hope all your problems of concern are solved.

Regards.

is the allotment far from your house denise ...?

what sort of allotments are they, do they have big fences round, or are they garden allotments with no fences, is it quiet and dark so thieves can easily get in...? is there any police presence in the area...?

[quote=" Hi David they are counsil allotment they did have fencing all round but they have took some down to make more gardens and not put fence back up my garden as a high fence all round but they got in through next garden as he dont lock his gate its at end of a estate so its not out of way

Hi denise,

Choose what you do on an allotment the low life appear to find a way to do their dirty business.

Local fanciers have suffered over the years on allotments that are well protected regarding entry etc;

I had bantams and hens etc; on the same allotments and had them stolen, I initially set some traps by putting nails through timber and planting them on the paths in the hope that I would find someone hopping about the next day etc; but it is a sad day to realise fairly recently that lofts have been burnt down it makes you wonder at the mentality of some people..

If there is a possibility of having a loft in your garden, even a small one, I would do that.

You just cannot prepare for the actions of the demented, and I do not mean the good people who suffer mental illness etc;

Regards.

Hi Misty got a few rolls of barbed wire going to get that up before bad weather comes in plus i have 2 cameras im going to set up aswell

ray peel has some good camera`s on his allotment denise, I think he can watch them on his mobile phone when hes at home etc....

maybe he can give you some info on setting yours up..

sorry to hear of your loss denise life just is not fair at times the government departments are so insensitive when these things happen....can you not even have a small loft in the garden maybe a 6x4 with a flight on it the same size...that would be ideal

Hi denise,
When I put the nails down etc; I was told if someone actually got hurt by them I would be the one in trouble even were the injured commiting an offence.

There is no sense nor reason regarding protecting your property everything is in the favour of the criminal, even if caught they just have their knuckles gently tapped.

It is the working class you see and we do not count.

I hope your barbed wire does the trick and if you find someone tangled up just dig a hole and put them in.

But the odds are they will wrap the barbed wire up and take it home as things stand.


Regards.
