Ian it is only what people are saying about the system and i am only making a comment

yes don so was i just making a point respect your comments tho don had a few people telling me the same thing , i myself have had pigeons that have not timed in found out the reason why and corrected it again was my fault

ian,when you say it was your fault , is management such a delicate balance to be either right or wrong do you think.......? as most top flyers seem to be profesional in their approach and run things on a strict routine.

not really just simple error cables had come apart so i zippied them together

oh....are you talking about ets? i didnt realise, thought you were saying it was down to management....sorry ian.

Must agree with you david management is a fine balance

Must say ian you and electrics work well because if that was me i would be lost

i know don, ive only recently learned how to turn a computer on....i thought it was like turning a t.v. on.......

come on pull the other one?????????????

The way you have built this site you are brill which i was able to do what you do

yes david as don say its a credit to yourself welldone

yes well done ,i see we are getting new members which is great news i just wish they would come on the chatbox so that we can get to know them better

hopefully they will start to use it and we can get to know about them and their birds.....ive found since weve had this site, some members prefer to post replies and some prefer the live chat whilst others, me included....lol like to do both....

If i could go back to the topic, of bathing, do you think standing water would be more beneficial than a sprayer?For pigeons to bath in?

niel, dont understand what you mean, do you mean a bath or spray from a bottle type thing? i use a plastic box which i bought from a car boot sale which has a lid on, its about 5-6 inches deep and about 3ft x2ft it was only about 3 pound and it does the job ok....

When giving the pigeons a bath i would always use freash water and when they have finished the bath remove the water

What i mean is, like a shower, i seen mine bath sometimes under the lawn sprayer.

oh right, i get you now niel....suppose it will be like rain for them as they love it when it rains dont they.

That would be fine and as david has said its just like rain and you know what pigeons am like when it rains

All out in the rain and wings streched out

yes, thats right don.....mine love it that much i sometimes cant get them in.

When your pigeons am well they will bath

yes,bath day tommorrow don.....i usually let the obs and ybs bath togeather on a sunday morning, seems to get the ybs more relaxed....

See no wrong in that at all

had them out for a flutter round and a bath this morning, ybs had a good fly round and went off for a while.....just noticed the last 09 yb i have in the nest has a frill down its chest...... had these birds for two breeding seasons and never had one of these before, looks a lovely bird but a bit wierd with the frill....ill try put a pic on of it.

I've seen that a couple of times , within the birds of my dad, they seem to be good flyers , i've also seen some frills behind the head.
Their abilitys perfect normal or better sometimes LOL

hope so ian, worried it might be crossed with a fantail........
