Strange why they packed in the first place. I personally don't like walkers but I use them if only a last resort

glad to hear they are back, obviously a big drop in their profits is the motivation to come back, just goes to show these people have no regard for the fancier only the £££££££££££, i think fanciers should boycott walkers for a while to show how they let us down ........

they wont be my first port of call in future, ill stick with the couriers who stuck by us and didnt let us down for the sake of a few quid .

Maybe they were just short of drivers for a while and had to suspend services? Everywhere is struggling to recruit workers at the moment, no-one seems to want to get up and go to work any more.

the story i was told the driver went to collect 30 pigeons and found they were not boxed up he refused to do it and walked off

the  story i was told the driver went to collect 30 pigeons and found they were not boxed up he refused to do it and walked off

cant see it being short of drivers, they only collected and delivered pigeons 2 days a week ..........they transport other animals and items anyway so i cant see it being a problem.

plus they were still delivering to ireland and belguim, but just within the uk

no logic in that apart from money, and thats why they have come back because of the drop in profits .

not if they had no spare driver that day this story was said to come from a driver

thing is if it were true about the 30 birds and the driver not waiting, how on earth is the fancier supposed to box them up until walkers come with the boxes .....ive boxed ybs up in plain brown boxes from the corn shop, but walkers insist on the birds going in their own walkers boxes, plus the driver cannot / will not help boxing birds up .

think that may have been the reason the owner was not there

imagine the amount of money they would have lost, i reckon they realised that, and did a U turn .

if only the truth was known no one stops a service like they did David

exactly george, suddenly stops it, and then suddenly re starts it ........cant be just down to cost / money, the rest of the uk is struggling too, but you carry on .

i'm thinking did he and the driver make it up and he has returned

not sure what went on but the driver who collected the birds wasnt the same driver as the one who delivered the birds ......i dare say they had more than 2 drivers in a company like walkers .

just been reading Walkers collected bird last Tuesday fancier asked were was it told in a holding pen for delivery on Monday

read something yesterday george, it said walkers are picking up tuesdays now instead of wednesdays .......it didnt say when they were being delivered, i just presumed it would be wednesday .......i dont like the idea of them being held in pens for nearly a week.

me either and not being told

i think they should make fanciers aware, i for one dont want birds sent out to people which are caged for a week .......if they far ill etc it will come back on me , plus i dont like it for the birds sake either

unless the reason for holding them was because they either came from, or was going to an area which has avian flu ........?

but then David other couriers can deliver on time
