flippin strays

i have had an irish pigeon in last week and a scotie in today reported the irish bird as i didnt think it was goin to pull through now its doin well the guy phoned an said did i want it as it would cost to much to get it back from here told him id put it on the boat to england for free may i add and would be let go from poole or portsmouth turned round and said if it comes back that way hel pull it
CALLS HIM SELF A FANCIER DONT THINK SO SOME HOW

thats what i was saying the other night rene, not many "fanciers" want to pay for them returning if lost......they expect the finder to keep what is usually their rubbish. and then we wonder why so many are lost and never heard of again.......

well im letin it out on sat wen a pack of birds come over the top of me stupid thing is it flew the wrong way in the 1st place as e reckons e lost it at sennen cove dont say much for the bird realy dose it

should be ashamed of himself for saying that he should of thanked you for giving it another chance to get home.i had a bird reported last year in south end,i asked the guy if he would feed it for a day or two then let it up somewhere.he did that and it got back.if it had stayed there i would have paid to get it back as thats what we should do even if we dont want the bird. after that its up to us what we do with them.

My opinion , a stray pigeon need to go to heaven.
Some people do not appreciate other people's kindness.

know what your sayin mate but not my place to do it if someone got found out doin it what do you think people would then say about this great sport of ours ?

neighbour brought me a stray tonight, yearling all bone phoned owner told him it needed putting down, no chance of it picking up put it out of its misery too weak to drink/eat

if they have taken a bad beatin and have no chance of syrvieing then thats another matter.but if iys fit and well its our place to get it back

never seen a bird in a mess like that was couldnt lift its head up too weak just laid still

then the best thing was done mate well done

Rene, I live in pembrokeshire south west wales, the Irish boys fly from here and in fact there is a lib point..talbeny..5 miles from me and we have more irish strays in than anyone ees in the country.

Needless to say there have been some brilliant pigeons flown here that camr from Ireland. Even when I was a kid we used to ask fanciers for Irish strays and many have formed a race team from just them, as they fly here on route to Ireland and make good broken birds. However to my point, I have reported hundreds of Irish strays going back to 1981 and have never heared ever of a fancier wanting them back even if they were once champions. If you like it keep it and fly it , as it might just turn out a good one..

yeh ive heard that before i know its ment to be a coorman ive been lettin it out all week between 7 n 730 it just flys round for af hour to 3/4 hrs then drops to the loft as if it has always been here the way i look at it is it cant be that good if it wont go home im not interested in strays any more yes this is a nice bird but id rarther breed and race what i know i have
