Guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 van hees Motta I think Motta's ring number was Belg 63/3100031
BLACK W F Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 you could be right Len was just having a stab at it
Guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Well that was my guess, until I checked it out on an old pedigree. Now I'm stumped ;D ;D ;D
BLACK W F Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 len i think its the mealey that makes you think Motta as i was not sure of his age what was the name of imbrects nat winner was that a mealey or red thats around the time

swilcox Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Posted June 12, 2009 Getting ready for Tarbes Vic, i was looking around at a few things and noticed this bird and thought my god they dont make them like that anymore, to add this is an English bird.
thunderboult Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 fear bros or mike young, i'll go for fear bros clandown prince (i just guessing as it was before i was born)

swilcox Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Posted June 12, 2009 Somebody has already mentioned the fanciers, funny thing this pigeon didnt even have a name, just a ring number such was there modesty, his two children were in fact sold to a high profile fancier who changed there names and much spoke of there origin. No its Tarbes with the NFC could be 6 or 7??? Stuart P.S. Cheers Vic, i know that fanciers like you as many of the old timers around the Mendips dont think a fancier is wearing anything other than shorts unless they time a good un out of the distance!!!! So im hoping to go up in a few peoples estimations!!!
the tree man Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Could it not be champion Woodsider that belonged to Jack paley. He was a splash backed Mealy the same as Motta not sure only a guess He was 1st open Palamos around 1973 for Jack Paley He was also a prolific breeder. The treeman
Robbie7836 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 Could it not be champion Woodsider that belonged to Jack paley. He was a splash backed Mealy the same as Motta not sure only a guess He was 1st open Palamos around 1973 for Jack Paley He was also a prolific breeder.
