Dont tell Budgie yer breeding from very old birds

Smaragh £77,000 Invincible Spirit £110,000 Superben was more, I think $225,000 dollars

I agree

Thats not altogether true m8. Location, wind and drag determine the winners. If you have good doos and good methods and a bad post code you will struggle to hit the top spots.

Heard that the Fife boys were concerned with the perspex on the roof of the transporter generating too much heat.They reckon that alot of the losses in the inland nats were part due to this.

True, but then you are losing height and in turn have less baskets on transporters. If we could have the Geraldy feeding/watering system with wicker baskets or wooden crates( with shavings ) then we would have the best of both worlds.

I totally agree with this statement, it is so unprofessional to throw feeding into baskets on top of the pigeons droppings and expect your pigeons to maintain the optimum condition that you sent them in.You dont throw their feed onto a soiled floor in your loft do you ?? Therefore, the feeding/watering system of the Geraldy transporters is far better than that of the traditional transporters. I dont know if the aluminium crates are better than the wicker baskets though, as you cannot put shavings in a Geraldy crate and the pigeons are standing on cardboard ??

I agree with the comfort of the wicker baskets but if we could only get other aspects of the transportation right, ventilation, feeding and watering systems have to be the best available.

Aye Andy, PAPA PETER was a cracking cock. His offspring were *expletive removed* brilliant at the distance BUT I think the key to his success was that Ian recognised the importance of crossing these Van Geels with the very best of Scottish distance families.eg his wee , ugly red hen, that was bred by J.Ellis of Dundee this pair churned out loads of top birds

Do you think that the SNFC need to change the transporters that have been used for the last few years? Initially, I thought they did need to change them but Im not too sure now

I thought one of your Van Geel cocks Andy was the sire of Jim Hannahs LITTLE WONDER, 2nd Open Andrezel ???

A couple of not bad pigeons but nothing direct from it to score in snfc

Here it is

Yes Frank, its in BHW, CH PIED COCK son of Verwegg De Beste. Still havent received my ybs from it

I know Sammy, Ive got a cracking g.son of Vlekje.

Hi Brian, if you go onto Elimar pigeon auctions, grand children of Vlekje are starting at £500. You cant get any closer to the champion Vlekje as he was a 1981 pigeon.

I ve scored with the beaver, dam it

What position are you going for Tam ? It would be good to see someone new taking the sport forward
