Guest llcoolj Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hello Everyone. Does anyone fly Delbar pigeons. One of our club members left the country and he gave me couple of Delbar stock birds. I am not sure of them. Any idea? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenlands Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 The old Delbars that were around when I was a boy were very reliable especially on a hard day ,small to medium in the hand and easy to condition,a bird that I always liked.

greenlands Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 So I take it the new ones are not that good? No ,please don't pick me up wrong ,I've never had any dealings with them for quite a while,I wouldn't condem any breed of pigeon,what suits one person may not suit another,different methods different results.They could be world beaters,there's only one way to find out.If you have no room for them I could try them and tell you what they are like.All joking apart,give them a try mate you might be surprised.Good luck .
