is this still about then david ?

this was posted on the rpra site 12 hours ago darren, so probably an update.....and still on going

I'm in 10km zone so can't train until restrictions lifted. Can't move pigeons out or bring pigeons inside the radius without license. Can't race next weekend. Tougher restrictions on those within 3km radius I believe. Hopefully common sense prevails and once the chicken farms affected get the all clear then we get back to normal.

Nightmare barnie.

No idea what is on from day to day.

Make all arrangements and spoilt at any time.

What I cannot understand is as far as I am aware pigeons have never passed the decease on nor ever had it.

Annoying to say the least.

Regards.

same here misty, as far as i know pigeons have never had it .......so whats all the fuss about.

Cannot understand this at all David.

Had a good look into it and it has been around since the 1800s.

Never caused humans problems so far as I can make out.

Then I read that it could possibly be the cause of the next pandemic in humans and several scenarios in between.

Strange ???????.

Regards.

its a case of making the cap fit misty, they will manipulate , lie and twist things to suit them selves .

Think you are right David, the papers full of our representatives unacceptable behaviour and I feel the ones found out are the tip ot the iceburg, each covering up for the others.

Perhaps if we knew the truth we would be in a dingy rowing our way to foreign lands.

Afraid a unhappy situation all round.

Best to make the best we can of a sad situation.

Regards.

our club is on course for the first race in a few weeks time, then the day after it will be our breeder buyer.........everyone who races have to produce vaccination forms, yeti presume the breeder buyer wont need any vaccinations / forms ?

Would think David fanciers purchasing the young will vacinate them when they get them.
