Sparrowhawk will be back - leave the bird where it is (if it is not too late) and add some flavouring to discourage its return ! They always return to the kill if disturbed. ATB, Steve

Would have to agree with that statement - loft finish and design were superb. Quoted £12K for the display loft at show. (Incl. all fittings) cHEERS, Steve

Hiabs ? Thanks for advice ! Steve

You could be right there ! Haven't seen the loft in the flesh yet but met Tim at Blackpool and he assures me that all is well and in order with the loft. Deposit paid - just need to get it to Donegal now ! Looking forward to all of the space ! (40 ' ) cheers, Steve

Yup.............. "The sale of a 218-bird colony has yielded a world-record 1.368 million euros. A single bird named Blue Prince went for 156,000 euros. The collection had belonged to the late Pros Roosen, a Belgian pigeon enthusiast. The birds have already been transported to their new owners in China." Steve

It was Euros, and the total sale realised over 1.3 Million Euro's ! Can't remember the name of the fancier - he was recently deceased. ATB, Steve

Yes - see this thread here for the step-by-step route we took to assembling the loft; http://www.pigeon-chat.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=41216 Cheers, Steve

I bought Tim's loft last weekend. But I will have a 20' x 8' loft available sometime between end of Feb and middle of March.

Nice one Bryan - must be great all of that space eh ? Thanks again, Steve

Hiya, Where is the loft as shown in your avatar pic ? Looks real tidy ! Cheers, Steve

What are the chances that this is a "lost" bird from the Derby Arona OLR ?

OK - I can see that you need help 1. Add equal amount of good Brandy to Baileys - add some ice - excellent - strengthen to taste ! 2. Make a "BMW" - Baileys, Malibu & Whisky, in equal amounts - add ice - Christmas in a glass ! Hope This Helps, Best, Steve

Limerick is in the SW of the Rep.Of Ireland - unless there are two of them ? Maybe you should check the location ? Shame about the theft. ATB. Steve

Couldn't resist eh ? Sure, what would they know about Pigeon racing ?

The famous Janssen brothers of Arendonk would never paint the inside of their lofts, claiming that the paint affected the humidity within the loft as a result of the non-absorbtion of moisture by the wooden walls after being painted !

It is superb - call quality has improved greatly too. Cheers, Steve

Any bids on any of the birds yet - I can't see any? Thanks, Steve

Is that similar to shoveling light into dark corners ?

I'm a company director - for a company that makes fishing flies - 10 years in business this January coming. That is when I'm not scraping out, repairing the loft or buying food for my birds It's all work - some is just more interesting than the other !

Very neat ! Nice set-up !

Very smart !

For catching Pigeons for food........

Congrats on your new loft - best of luck with it !

I live in the Rep. of Ireland, out in the sticks at that too - and mine is delivered every Friday, by post, at 8AM !

Would these be any good for luring Sparrowhawks so as they could be moved on ?
