haha yeah, it was tied up proper or something silly. A story a few of the older fanciers told me

[maverick]

A few of the older fanciers might remember the welsh birds at perth a basket of birds escaped members from clubs rallied round and went up to perth and re-rubbered all the birds in the transporter took a while we were gifted a trophy to fly for called the friendship trophy

The sting in the tail to this the birds were libbed on the sunday morning a lovely morning , in our area at the time there was around 14 lofts and most had there youngbirds out myself included as batch after batch of race birds came right over us a lot of youngbirds were lost that morning

Not forgetting the odd ones that get out and are not seen
