  1. Must agree with Mark, these guys are top flyers!!!!! It seems a Testimonial from Andrew is like getting an erection on a nudest beech. Time to hang up your mouse young man.
  2. Well Bob If we think people are conmen then lets name them and get them removed from the site. We have a great community on pigeonbasics and the type of people you are referring to aernt welcome so name names and if the majority agree lets get them off!!!! Stuart
  3. Lads I understand where you are coming from but i hope you are not tarring everyone with the same brush!!!! The only people who big up our pigeons are the people who buy them, enough said Stuart Wilcox
  4. Dear Sir Its very easy to build a fantastic team of pigeons when you dont bloody race them!!!!! The basket at the end of the day is key and thats something the pigeons of Micheal Buijk rarely see. Marc Pollin on the other hand, well thats an entirly different story, a class breeder and an even better racer!!!!

  6. Do away with the whole membership scheme, make 2 National OB races and 1 young bird race and charge £10 a pigeon to enter (Open to all members of the RPRA and entries need to be posted 10 days prior to basketiing!!!!! It would work!!!! Stuart

  15. There isnt a better auctioneer in the UK than Mark Evans!!!! he has always done his best for me and the many others he has conducted auctions for. Stuart P.S. But dont get in a round with him, he will drink you under the table ;D
  16. Greengrass, the treatment we use is an injection and that way you can be sure each pigeon has the correct dose. Stuart
  17. Maybe to give Raymonds Fingers a rest I can give a summery of his system. This only really applies to his distance pigeons. Starting with young birds, Raymond is lucky in the fact that his distance pigeons exercise very well, when they are given there freedom so once they are flying freely and the young bird races have started they are entered into a 60 or 70km fly with little or sometimes no training (I don’t recommend this but he gets away with). After 1, 2 or 3 flights the pigeons are left to moult. The main racing system is natural for long distance with both the cock and hen flying and its normal for Raymond to Fly the yearlings to Bordeaux or Bergerac, Two year olds to Brive or St Vincent and the 3 year olds and older to Barcelona. Nest positions and pairings are left natural so that there are different pigeons on different positions on any one weekend. Raymond has enjoyed great success flying to young in the nest believing its given them extra motivation. On selecting pigeons Raymond normally looks for Balance with a strong back (a must for distance flying). He is lucky in the fact that his pigeons have incredible eyes but he doesn’t pay so much attention to it!!! One thing Raymond does like to do is bred extra children from his very top pigeons and put them back for stock, regardless if he needs them or not!!! He does like apple shaped pigeons and he likes to see the tongue stay down when you open the beak. On medication one thing Raymond forgot to mention is Respiratory treatments. Both his Brive and St Vincent winners were given a Respiratory Treatment three weeks before basketing, the treatment came from Van De Sluis. Raymond, maybe Van De Sluis could pay us a guest visit to explain his Paratyphoid Treatment???? With regard to wings I will leave that to Raymond. Stuart

  22. What the one direct from Beute, a blue fella in the top pen? Or the dark one in the middle. Stuart
  23. Staf Told me his secret on selecting fast pigeons, A Rump back with a single pin tail, as he said look for a bottle of wine!!!! P.S. My Van Reets were as hard as nails and were best when flying over 9 hours!!! Stuart
  24. I take my time when selecting and often take 20 - 30 mins just trying to study charactor, but a pigeon must be balanced Roland, balance in the foundation, the rest are building blocks.
  25. Roland, its not looks that should catch your its mordent charactor!!!!!!!
