Cost of Pigeons by Dave Bunker Brierley

[sapper756]

I've seen lots of posts lately about the cost of racing pigeons nowadays you will see in the photos the answer to the question is in there. The photos are from the sales brochure for Gits racing pigeons in 1956 and to purchase one youngbird was £8. The £8 translates to £212.78 in today's money! Still think the sports cost is getting horrendous it's all relative, you cut your cloth accordingly you don't have to have a massive loft and loads of birds or keep spending your money on copious amounts of medication and dubious hocus pocus curealls. 
By the way the example of the little loft I'm the little one ha ha
Yours in sport
