trailer has now been promised,thank you all for your interest/comments.

what you wearing tonight chris ;D ;D ;D

they look great,well looked after and happy.

why does this pic make me think of fishfingers no submarines

apologies

i have decided to withdraw the trailer from the swap shop,it is going to our local garage tommorow to have some work done to it to improve the way that the birds are released and to have the bottom tier mesh and mudguards replaced with new material.i have been assured that there is no structual damage to the frame of the trailer so if it has been in an accident it must have been a light one.once all improvements have been completed i will offer it up for sale to whoever may be interested.thank you all for your input/suggestions which was what i wanted to make the trailer safe and comfortable for birds.

the mud guards are very heavy and are attached to the mesh of the bottom tier.i think over the years it probably has been banged a few times and pushed the mesh in.it has also had a few quick patch up jobs done to it along the way by the look of it,i believe that the mudguards and the mesh on the bottom tier should be stripped out and replaced on both sides,if you are able to weld i dont think it would be a hard job to do except for the cost of mesh and metal for mudguards.i will take some new photos tommorow,some further close ups of damage and with the sides down also.the trailer has only been in my possession for about 6 months,i have,nt used it myself,but i did pull it from the old owners to my house and i couldnt relly feel it on the back end of my car.it was empty i dont know what it would be like full.

yes it needs tacking back on where the weld has broken,but if your going to do that you just as well renew and be done with it.it will last for years then.

the measurements are 4ft x 6 ft

with all four tiers full,i have been told that it is capable of holding 300 birds.

it has leaf springs,no shock absorbers

http://s478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/paul10121968/ try this link hopefully you can view pics there.there is some rot starting to come in bottom tier and on mudguards but i beleive this to re easily rectified.

for some reason i am unable to upload pics to site,i,ve traced the problem to my kodak easyshare programme,it will allow me to attach to an e-mail but it wont allow me to upload to this site.i,ve tried putting photos into a seperate folder but that wont go either.

no

they are the birds that my father used to fly years ago and he used to do well with them.i know they are a very old breed of pigeon,but i cant seem to find out much about them.

i am interested in the breed called kirkpatricks,does anyone have any info about where i can possibly purchase some.thanks

pics to follow this evening.

hello.i have a pigeon trailer to swap for a good pair of stock birds.bloodline unimportant.the trailer can hold up to 300 birds,and has seperate sections for cocks and hens.the bottom tier needs a little work done to it,the welds have come away from the mudguards on the left side so this will need rewelding,there are three good tyres on the trailer 2 running and one spare.it also has a working light board.i bought the trailer off a local fancier with the intention of training everyones birds as well as my own,but with a new job i do not have much time to do this through the day.the trailer could be fixed up into something nice that will last for years.so if you want it and you have a nice pair of stock birds you no longer require let me know.i will deliver the trailer,but bear in mind i live in newport in south wales so if you live more than 50 miles away maybe we can meet in the middle.regards paul

is it possible to break in an old bird from another loft.?has anyone ever done it?if so what was involved in getting the bird to return to his new home?.getting some birds soon and i was wondering if it was worth doing this.your advice is welcome.paul
