Kyleakin Lofts Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Walkers do pick up from the continent. Depending where it is in France, The Barcelona One Loft / French YB Derby people are often over in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.D. Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Serious Question . Can you bring the pigeon back from France without a proper licence? Can't say for sure but there's certainly plenty brought back from Lier market every year without much trouble. Can I ask where in France it is reported?

ovy1255 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Can I ask where in France it is reported?
