tail feathers

[Johnny Abbott]

just wandering if any one is intrested in a full set of spar tail feathers before i throw them away

[BlackShaheen1]

dont throw them away people will be looking for them next seson just stick them in an envelope and stash them .people are allways asking me them.dont know any one at the momment as it is close to the molt but them that is getting a new spar this year will diffo need some.

[Sprout]

In theory you might need an A10 to pass them on!

[BlackShaheen1]

i think you could be gifted them

[Sprout]

I know JPJ had a lot of hassle a few years ago over giving away feathers! Just be warned

[OutFlying]

even for non registered species ?

[Sprout]

Don't know, just what I heard. Worth checking though although I'd huess it on;ly covered birds that require an A10 for the live bird as they effectively are classed as part of the bird

[OutFlying]

I don't think it's applicable to spar's, no blue form - so how could your register the feathers ?


I'll take the spar feathers off your hands Johnny.

[GregMik]

If you are going to keep them. Put them into a ziplock bag and stash them in the freezer. They will last longer that way.

[BlackShaheen1]

it states it on the A10 you are not alowed to sell drivatives

[BrianM]

just dont tell anybody;-)

[Sprout]

Thats my point. Can't remember, do you need an A10 for a spar? If not then you shouldn;t need one for the feathers?

[OutFlying]

Spars aren't registered anymore but do have an A10.

[BlackShaheen1]

you do need an A10 for a spar

[BlackShaheen1]

Spars aren't registered anymore but do have an A10.
sorry dude i type to slow

[Sprout]

So in theory will need an A10 for feathers. In theory!!! Get an A10 and auction them on E-bay, make a fortune next summer!!

[Sprout]

sorry OF, know you want them. Good spar feathers are like gold dust though

[BlackShaheen1]

or rite a letter saying you gifted them to your mate.i wont go into vets wages thats another thred lol

[OutFlying]

I gave away a full set with the one I sold. I will get some more feathers - one way or another :rolleyes:

if you have ten feathers you will need ten A10 certs

[OutFlying]

or find a wild dead one :cry: then recycle :rolleyes:

[Sprout]

"i wont go into vets wages thats another thred lol"


Eh? whats that got to do with spar feathers?? PM me if you've got a point to make? If it helps my last pay cheque was £1937 before tax working 332 hours that works out as £5.83 per hour.

[BlackShaheen1]

was only messing cos you said make a fortune on ebay .sorry

[Sprout]

It was a joke - so many spars with bashed feathers they are in short supply! People pay a fortune for ****, will pay more for something useful on there! Sorry for jumping down your throat, its a sore point with me too - people going on about vets wages - I wish I got those wages people think they got - got fined £100 last 3 months running for going over over draught limit so money bit of a sore point!!!

[BlackShaheen1]

dont suppose a lend of a tenner is out of the question then( only jokeing)

[Sprout]

Could lend a spar tail though!!!!

[BlackShaheen1]

if i get one its yours

[Johnny Abbott]

i was givem them by a freind but no i dont have a10 so i will just throw them away saves any problems

[Game & Pursuit Falcon UK]

You can give them to anybody without any problem, just a covering note saying they were acquired by deed of gift covers it.

I just spoke to Steward Castle from DEFRA on 0117 372 8649 and he welcomes any calls of this nature and is also a very nice and helpful man.

He said as did K, as long as Johnny want to give them away and gives a covering letter, then it is OK to do so. BUT if that person wanted to sell them on eBay or to someone else, they would need to apply for an Article 10.

Their job now becomes more difficult as that person will now have to prove the feathers age, origin and whether or not is was aquired from a live or dead bird and where the bird is now.

HTH?;)
