HI ALL, ive noticed that there are plenty of threads/comments on the forum relating to white racers and fanciers are quite often trying to get hold of them. this is an advert that was published this thursday morning (1/11/07) so i thought i'd let u guys know. its nothing to do with me im just passing on the info in the hope it will be of use to someone? ADULT PAIRS, WHITE RAPIDO BUSCHAERT RACERS £25 A PAIR TEL. 01395 568817 DEVON hope its of use to some one ??????

happy birthday.

got 2 cocks 4 ya but no hens im afraid. regards

nice birds, thats a real achievment. its good to see a youngster coming into the hobby ! it scares me how few young people are interested in birds . the main men in fancy pigeons are all knocking on a bit and there is no one there to take over ! well done to the lad and good luck.

amtrak take the p**s, when they had some competition from interlink the cost of transporting birds was a little more reasonable.

im english born and bred but cant wait to retire (quite a way off) so i can get the hell away from the uk ! this may be controversal but i would say give england a wide birth. its losing its identity and culture , its full of imigrannts that , unlike you , dont want to work but are happy to claim benefits. the crime is rising and we have no detterents. the jails are full and judges are scared of putting people in prison because there is no room ! iceland looks a much better deal from where im standing, sorry to be such a kill joy. regards and good luck.

welcome and good luck !! i am also quite new to the site . p.s i was 13 when i was your age .. ha ha.

tumblers are pigeons thats perform somersaults whilst in flight and there are various breeds (the west of england for eg.).rollers on the other hand also somersault but are generally thought of as being better performers.they are capable of multiple rolls whilst falling from the sky before pulling out of the "spin" and flying back upwards . again there are two types ,flyers and exhibitions.the birmingham roller for example comes in both the flying and show type.

went to the dragoon club show today in reading and they think its the first time a "red" has won the best in show/gold cup trophy. lovely pigeon exhibited by pratt and sons.

hi everyone, got 2 cock exhibition fantails that i no longer need(iv got all i need from em).paid good money for them but i want to let someone have a go with them for free. if anyone wants em they can either cum and get em (im in kent) or pay the amtrack. ones a saddle bred blackpied and the other is a red/brown saddle but with only one saddle(he breeds ful saddles though).the black pied is so tame he perches on my head/shoulder whenevever i go in the shed.they would make great flirt birds for the racing guys.

dragoons and antwerp smerle show tommorow if anyones interested ? From M4, exit at junction 12 for Theale along the A4. Over the first roundabout still on the A4. After a mile or so at the next roundabout turn right then after a few hundred yards turn left to Bradfield. After about a mile look for a left turn at the bottom of a small hill to Bradfield Southend. carry on for another mile past a pub on the right I believe and look for the village hall on the right

i would like a moderator ...................or anyone to explain to me how i can put photos into replys/threads ????????????

no thats right chrissy, and another thing , £100 /£1000 birds dont nessecarily breed £100/£1000 birds. my father and i have had top pigeons that are 1st every week that breed smart pigeons but "rubbish" racers . . . . . . but the "rubbish" racers they breed hav themselves produced winnrs !

its funny that cars are mentioned on this thread cos for me it goes back to earlier comments that hav been made about it not being the pigeon but the management ! u could hav the fastest car ever built ....ferrari, honda ,mercedes . . . it dont matter, if you aint got lewis hamilton to drive it u is buggered !! give the greatest racing pigeon in the world to a nob jockey who dont look after/train his birds and it will be last every week, put a "lewis hamilton" in charge of it and it may just top the fed !!!!!!

with regards to the comment "you only get what you pay for" a very experienced fancier once told me "you can breed a lot of rubbish from good birds but there is a chance you will breed a good un.............. howerver rubbish birds will only breed rubbish" so yes i agree you need to get decent birds from well managed lofts but i still dont see how a good bird from a good shed equals loads of money ??? i have given away more pigeons than i have sold (i have a current thred re. free fantails at the moment) and wouldnt sell birds for big bucks.....however i have bought pigeons at £50 and £60 a pair because that has been the only way to get stock.mabey i am a fool but i have then gone on to sell good youngsters from these pairs at £10 each and tried to get my money back that way. dont really have a problem with people making money from selling birds, its just not my style. after all this is a "HOBBY" to most of us. to me a pigeon will always be worth roughly 1 bag of corn ie. a tenner.

imo a pigeon is a pigeon is a pigeon ! meaning, no matter what u think, a pigeon is only worth about 10 quid ! i dont care if its a racer from loui massarella or a show bird from doug mclary, pigeons (god bless em) breed as sweet as a nut so how the hell can they be worth hundreds of pounds ??

no problem, glad you got it sorted.
