SEVERN VALLEY FED AT TRURO LAST YOUNG BIRD RACE.

THINK YOU WILL FIND IT WAS THE MARATHON RACE PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

HAD ONE FROM THERE LAST YEAR I REPORTED IT STRAIGHT TO DERICK NICHOLLS CANT REMEMBER WEATHER HIS PHONE NUMBER WAS ON THE BIRD OR I GOT IT OFF THEIR WEB SITE.HE WASN,T VERY INTERESTED IN IT JUST TOLD ME TO CHUCK IT OUT AS IT HAD BEEN TRAINED WELL LOADS OF TOSSES SO IT SHOULD GET BACK,DID THAT NEVER HEARD ANY MORE ABOUT IT.

SORRY TO CORRECT YOU REDFOX BUT YOU CAN GO ON PART OF THE RING NUMBER IF YOU HAVE A RING LIST CHECK AS I DID AND SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH GB06F2743?.

HI SMOGGIE,SORRY I CANT TELL WHOSE IT IS EXACLEY BUT I CAN PUT YOU ON TO SOMEONE WHO WILL,THE SECRETARY OF THE CLUB WHERE THE OWNER IS A MEMBER IS A MR.BRIAN NICHOLLS PHONE 01406-765353 HIS A.D.IS IN GOOLE EAST YORKSHIRE.IF YOU COULD GIVE HIM A RING HE WILL PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE OWNER.THANKS FOR ALL YOUR TROUBLES.

[quote=678 .i think the best reason to buy a bird is wot its parents have done in the race basket . and i say parents.SORRY MATE BUT TO ME YOU COULDN,T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH,THERE IS NO MORE CHANCE OF BIRDS THAT HAVE DONE WELL IN THE BASKET BREEDING ANYTHING ANY BETTER THAN THOSE THAT HAVN,T.HAVE A READ OF JACK BARKEL,S WRITE UP,S ESPECIALLY THE ONE ABOUT THE TWO NATIONAL WINNERS THAT WERE PAIRED TOGETHER AND BRED I2 YOUNGSTER,S (HOW MUCH WOULD YOU OF BEEN PREPAIRED TO HAVE PAYED FOR THEM)£200.£300 COULD GO AS MUCH AS £500 EACH OFF 2 NATIONAL WINNERS AYE, AND WHAT HAPPENED NOT ONE OF THEM DID ANY GOOD.

EXACTLEY WHAT I WAS GETTING AT,IF SAY HE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO OWN 5 OR 6 PAIRS THAT WERE BREEDING WINNERS OR BREEDERS DO YOU THINK THAT HE WOULD LET YOU HAVE THE YOUNGSTERS OFF THOSE PAIRS I THINK NOT.

IF I WAS JUST BUYING YOUNGSTERS TO RACE I WOULD PROBABLEY JUST CHOOSE ONES I LIKED THE LOOK OF BUT IF I WANTED THEM TO BREED FROM PEDIGREES AND PERFORMANCES WOULD MEAN NOTHING TO ME THE ONLY THING I LOOK FOR IS THE EYE,SO I WOULD NOT BUY YOUNGSTER,S ANYWAY BUT TRY TO SELECT OLDER PIGEONS ON WHAT I HAVE LEARNT OVER THE YEARS ABOUT EYESIGN,BUT THEN I WOULD GUARANTEE HE WOULD NOT SELL YOU THE BIRDS THAT ARE BREEDING HIM WINNERS.ANYONE CAN SELL YOUNGBIRDS WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE BIRDS THAT THEY ARE WINNING WITH BUT THEY WONT BE OFF THE BIRDS THAT ARE BREEDING THE WINNERS.

IF THE NUMBER IS GB 06 F 2743- IT IS FROM NORTHERN IRELAND,BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO GET THE CORRECT NUMBER SO WE CAN TELL YOU WHERE IT IS DEFINATLY FROM.THE LETTER F COULD MEAN IT,S FROM ANYWHERE

REALLY DEPENDS ON YA SELF THERE PAULO,IF YOU HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY AND YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND SPEND IT ON EXPENSIVE PIGEONS WHICH YOU STILL MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY SUCCESS WITH,OR YOU COULD FIND OUT SOMEONE LOCAL WHO IS DOING ALL THE WINNING AND ASK THEM IF THEY WOULD BREED YOU SOME LATEBREDS AND TAKE IT FROM THERE,OR EVEN TAKE UP SOME OF THE OFFERS ON HERE FOR FREE LATEBREDS,THEN EVEN IF THEY DONT DO ANY GOOD AT LEAST YOU HAVN,T SPENT OUT 100,S OR IF YOU LIKE 1000,S OF POUNDS AND STILL GOT NO WHERE.

MARK,I THINK ITS BEEN SAID MANY TIMES THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY OUT HUNDREDS OF POUNDS TO BUY PIGEONS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON HERE WHO WOULD WILLINGLEY HELP ANYBODY WHO WAS STARTING UP WITH BIRDS,A CLOCK AND MAYBE A BASKET AS WELL AS OTHER STUFF,AND AS FOR ALL THE FANCY MIXES EVEN THOSE ARE NOT A NECESSITY YOU CAN DO JUST AS WELL BUYING BEANS,BARLEY ETC OFF A FARM,

HAD A FEW IN WITH ETS RINGS ON BUT NOT ONE OF THEM CAME FROM THE RPRA 1 LOFT AND I ONLY LIVE ABOUT 8 MILE AWAY,AND I REPORTED EVERY ONE.

NICE TO SEE YOU ON AT LAST JEZ,HAVE TO BE CAREFULL WHAT I POST UP NOW.I THINK WHAT PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS THE ACTUAL % THAT WAS LEFT TO GO TO THE FINAL RACE OUT OF THE ORIGINAL ENTRIES.

THERE IS NO NEED TO PAY OUT SUCH REDICULOUS PRICES FOR GOOD PIGEONS,BEST BREEDER I,VE HAD COST ME £25 AT A CLEARANCE SALE,AND THERE IS ALLWAYS FANCIERS ON HERE THAT WILL BREAD YOU A FEW LATEBREDS USUALLY FREE OF CHARGE.

50% OF MY FEED ALL YEAR ROUND IS BEANS OFF A FARM AT £4.00 A BAG ALSO FEEDING BARLEY AS WELL WHICH IS £3.25 A BAG FROM THE SAME FARMER,BUT MUST ADMIT THE OTHER 50% IS A MIXTURE FROM BAMFORDS USUALLY THE WIDOWHOOD ONE WHICH I FEED THE YOUNGSTERS AS WELL OR BREED AND WEAN WHEN I,M BREEDING,ALSO A FEW G10 PELLETS.

SEVERN VALLEY BIRDS LIBERATED AT YELVERTON IN A LIGHT SOUTH EAST WIND 7.15.

DONT WORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING SPECK WE KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

DONT KNOW IF YOU LOOKED AT JACK BARKEL POSTING STUART BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE CHARGED FOR THE 12 YOUNSTER,S THAT WERE BRED OFF THE TWO NATIONAL WINNERS.WHAT A GOLDMINE THEY WOULD BE FOR THE SELLER BUT FOR THE BUYER DISASTER AS NOT ONE OUT OF THE 12 DID ANYTHING WORTH MENTIONING (JACKS WORDS)

AT LEAST BUYING THEM GEZ WE KNOW THEY HAVE BRED A NATIONAL WINNER AND OTHER,S,I TAKE IT FROM YOU NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTION THAT SHE AS NOT BRED ANYTHING.

ALL BRILLIANT GEZ THER,S NO GETTING AWAY FROM IT BUT AS I SAID I OR ANYONE ELSE WOULD BE BUYING HER FOR BREEDING OFF AND I WOULD WANT TO KNOW IF SHE HAD BRED ANYTHING HERSELF.

THE QUESTION IS THOUGH CAN SHE OR ANY TOP RACER OR PIGEON WITH A PEDIGREE AS LONG AS YOUR ARM PASS ON THEIR QUALITIES,HAVE A LOOK AT THE POSTING UNDER EYESIGN REAL OR FAKE REPLIES NUMBER 305 AND 306,THIS WILL EXPLAIN MORE ON HOW I SEE IT ABOUT BUYING PIGEONS FOR BREEDING.

GEZ,IN NO WAY AM I TRYING TO DEGRADE YOUR BIRD IN ANY WAY BUT IF I WAS A POTENTIONAL BUYER I WOULD BE ASKING THIS QUESTION,WHAT AS SHE BRED YERSELF AS I WOULD BE BUYING HER TO BREED OFF NOT TO RACE,WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING PIGEONS TO BREED OFF I THINK THIS IS WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE A MISTAKE BY JUST GOING ON RACING PERFORMANCES OR PEDIGREES.NOW IF YOU WERE SELLING THE PARENTS OF YOUR HEN THEN THAT WOULD BE DIFFERANT.

SNOWY I THINK ONCE YOU START YOU WILL GET A LOT OF JOY OUT OF IT BEEN LOOKING AT THEM NOW FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS AND CAN HONESTLY SAY THE PIGEONS THAT HAVE BRED ME WINNERS I HAVE PICKED BY JUST LOOKING AT THE EYE.
