	Hmmm Rick. I think it might be far too late here now anyway. We have to wait till a spread to domestic poultry before we get a transport ban and that will stop the pidgeon fanciers ( as we call them). They will not be able to send their birds to places like Dundee for release. I guess France will stop them anyway. Thanks for this one though. Edited by harpmandoodle
