it about time

I think its about time the RSPB but the hands up and admit there is a problem with them ( BOP's ) but they wont aslong as they got a hole in thier asse's it's also about time the RPRA started helping us the members that help pay thier wages each week and help keep them in thier flippin jobs

totally agree mate losing to many birds all over the country

agree rene, every time i see bills in the homing world he looks more like a polatition, say there sapping off the members doing absolutely nothing to help in the fight against the bops/rspb.

lads its just nature takeing its coarse it has always happened and will not go away live with it and hope for the best.

its ok sayin its nature and let it take it's coarse Alan that i do agree with but its not nature wen it come to these idiots breedin BOPs in captivaty then lettin em go in the towns and stuff where's the nature in that it's not thier natural habitat that there being released in too?

Alan it isnt nature when people are releasing bop into areas they dont belong, just like
the peregrines on ICI Wilton neer you . what will you do if the time comes and you cant even let
the birds out for a fly round the loft because thats the way its going. in fact its actualy happening
now in other parts of the country .Have you ever heard a Blackbird screeming for its life while being
eaten alive or one of your own birds getting ripped apart over the fence and not being able to save it.
well I have. I,d rather hear birds singing and watch my birds flying without fear .

100% agree about the breeding and realeasing birds out of there natural habitat as for the blackbird screaming for its life yes i have mate but the perigrins and sparrow hawks etc are only moveing into our towns and cities because man has destroyed there natural habitats large houseing estates where there was once trees and open country. ICI Wilton was once all open grass land we have produced artifical trees for the BOP in building more pylons and cutting down trees were they once stood to do this. so in my eyes it works both ways and at the end of the day there is no long term solution i dont think.

Iv also lost far more birds to mindless ideots than i ever will in my raceing lifetime to BOP.

Alan its not just where STB is mate it's everywhere i can remember only 4/5 years ago that wen we were racing we would send say 30 pigeons and get 30 pigeons today if ya send 30 youll be lucky to get half of them im only sayin this number as a rough guide i know all the telephone masts dont help but there's noway they are the cause of the losses we see each year and gettin worse

i dont think there is one big reason for losses mate i think its a lot of reasons
