Roundo

Thanks. As long as the garden is big enough to take a 8 x 6 hut to house my boy's German Owls........no race birds!!

All four birds are tentatively sold as one lot. Thanks

I'm open to offers for Lot 2 & 3.......sensible offers

Cheers mate. Still nothing confirmed, but looking towards Falkirk / Stirling area.

Cheers mate. It hurts me to part with these birds but house move and a break forces me to sell.

As part of my major stock reduction due to pending house move I have made the difficult decision to part with the following birds. There are four in total bred by Peter Virtue from his very successful National winning bloodlines. 1) Dark Pied Cock GB.13.E (Sire & Dam responsible for numerous National prize winners) 2) Dark Pied Cock GB.13.J (G/son of his No 1 stock cock) 3) Dark Cheq Hen GB.13.J (G/daughter of his No 1 stock cock) 4) Dark Pied Hen GB.13.J (G/daughter of "Lady Jane" winner of 2nd Open Reims, 9th Open Reims & 20th Open Reims SNRPC) The pedigrees of these pigeons are full of top National prize winners........1st, 3rd, 5th, 5th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 13th, 15th Open etc etc.......the list goes on..... PM for further details and price. Original pedigrees will be provided. Sold on a first come first served basis. I will try and get pictures done the first chance I get, but I think pictures wouldn't do these birds any justice. Visitors are more than welcome. Alb, Colin.

Lot 1 sold pending payment. Thanks, Colin.

Yes, still for sale.......PM sent

If there are any PB members interested in the loft then please get in touch with me. There should be an advert appearing in the BHW very soon.......next week hopefully. Sensible offers will be seriously considered.......loft must go as I won't have room at my new house for any loft. Colin.

The price should be £4,000 ovno...........my mistake!!!

There has only been 1 years breeding in the loft. Change in circumstances has resulted in the loft being offered for sale. Fully kitted out will all new fittings etc.....

The Jos Thone pigeons are now sold. Thanks, Colin

PM sent

The Andy Miller cock is now sold.......glad he is off to a really good home. Jos Thone birds are still available.......£50 each for a quick sale. Cheers, Colin.

Here are the Jos Thone cocks Here are the Jos Thone hens

Here are pictures of some of the birds I have available. First one is the Andy Miller cock direct from "Van Allan"

I am open to sensible offers for the Jos Thone pigeons and the very nearest offer for the Andy Miller cock. I'm more interested in them going to good homes than making money on them. Over the past few years I've spent a small fortune on acquiring the best possible bloodlines. Alb, Colin.

Due to pending house move and a break from racing (after 30 yrs) I've made the difficult decision to dramatically reduce my stock birds. I believe these birds would have contributed greatly on my road to further success. The following birds are all young stock and sure to be a great addition to any stock loft. To start with I'd like to offer a direct son from our very own Andy Miller's top stock cock "Van Allen". He is a 2011 Blue W/F direct from one of Andy's best breeding cocks, who is sire & g/sire of 26 individual winners and over £15,000 prize money and pools, plus g/sire of his 1st Open SNFC Ypres 2,339 birds. The dam is a daughter of Brown & Black's top national hen who finished 1st Hens National, 7th Open National Newbury 2009, 3 x SNFC prize winner. Price : £200 (no offers) The other birds I'd like to offer were bred by M-B Lofts (Martin Blyth) direct from the best of his Jos Thone bloodlines. Martin must have one of the best collections of Jos Thone pigeons in the UK, you just have to look at his website to see the quality.......no expense spared. These birds are all 2012 so I've only had one season breeding with them, and was very happy with their young birds. There are seven in total, four cocks and three hens, mainly blues and blue pied. The bloodines contain The Nadira 447 (Brockamp), Fortuetous, Natalie, Athos, Sintana, Maximus, Summoner (son of Sumo), Miss Sumo Blue (dgtr of Sumo), Poco Real Madrid, The Golden Hen, Geronimo, Shakira, Kelly Holmes, National Warrior, National 900 etc.......... Price : £75 each (discount on two or more) All of these birds wouldn't be available if circumstances had been different, but my loss is your gain. I will try and get time to take some pictures but anyone interested is more than welcome to come and see the birds. Original pedigrees supplied. PM if you are seriously interested. Alb, Colin.

I just found out last night when his dad called to let me know.........so sad!!!! He was such a nice guy. My thoughts are with his family at such a difficult time. RIP mate. Colin

Cheers guys. Anything like the past couple of days it'll not take me long to get down to 4 or 5 pair of stock birds........need to watch I don't part with all of them Thankfully they're going to good homes. Colin

Thanks guys for all your comments......they're much appreciated. You never know I might enjoy the free time to do other things so much that I might not return to racing.......things change, people change. I've came to the conclusion, there's more to life than pigeons. Cheers, Colin.
