St Malo birds will be up on Monday (Tip 77) and on Thursday (100 Cock). John Millar will do all delivery of birds. He charges £8 to Ramsey Dagliesh in Dumfries. Then if you cant collect them the Scottish parcel service brings them onwards. He delivers right through to Birmingham. Eamon

Guys, could we please keep this thread as an auction related thread and free from any non related conversations? Thanks Eamon

Thanks Guys for all the nice comments this decision was not easy. All birds will be offered on here - nowhere else - and all will be auctioned off. As previous there will be 2 held back for Pigeonbasics site fund and the money will not be sent to me it will go to Admin. As always, i stand over every pigeon i send out and if you are not happy when you recieve the bird send it back and i will refund the money. Eamon

*********SALE OF THE YEAR********* It is with great regret and sadness that i have come to this decision. Due to ongoing work constraints and my father’s continued inability to enter the lofts i have decided to let go my complete family of Wildermeersch pigeons. This will bring me down to ten pairs of stock pigeons which i can manage easier. This family have all been very inbred for the past 8 years by myself and originate from Kevin Henderson Lurgan who is one of the top national flyers into Ireland. Pedigrees will be brief but i will do the best i can with them and provide as much detail as possible. I will let the pigeons do the rest as they are Unbelievable specimens. Anyone that has got these birds of me in the past or has seen them can verify the quality of pigeon they are and they will grace any loft they go to. The pigeons have bred many prize-winners including 1st prize-winners on the road and up to St Malo France 448 miles. They have won for me and for others with the latest 1st Prize-winner being into Scotland in a NE wind. These birds have won many major awards in the national shows as well with some highlights being – 7 Gold Medals from 16 classes in Dublin 2007, winner in Blackpool, 3 times Best in Show Dublin (2 times with Lady Marie), 12 second prizes in Blackpool in the flown classes, Runner up INFC Belfast, winner in Larne etc...Not bad considering i only do 4 shows per year. All Wildermeersch will be sold! These include Lady Marie my number 1 hen, Dark 65 Number 1 cock, Garys Choice, Tip 77, The 100 Cock, Shortcut Willie, Black Lady, Old Pied Hen, So Close, Mr H and all their children. I would like the birds moult out completely before they go but if a sensible offer comes in i will let them go straight away. The first 2 i am putting up are Mr H & Lady Marie – Brother & Sister – These will run as an auction for 7 days. I will also keep a couple of crackers to the last that will be put up and auctioned for pigeonbasics site funds. My loss is definitely your gain. These are outstanding birds. Eamon (shortcut lofts)

Sent 20 got 19 back on Sat from Rosscrea.

Had them and crossed them with John Crowders Delbars, timed one in the YB National from Talbenny in the money 53rd National, timed another from Penzance in the top 100 of the Classic, timed one from St Malo France 444 miles in the money, a friend who got mine won 3 races 80 miles to 120 miles. Takes a cross and it needs to be the right cross. Beautiful birds.

I had a pair of reds 2 years ago and let them go to a guy in Scotland. Beauties with feathered legs. Hard to get these now but i know a guy who has a few, mostly Reds. he won a National 3-4 years ago.
