shweet Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Why was Louella selling a pigeon with one eye for I think £150 ?
BLACK W F Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 you should have asked them they had some crap on their stand on the whole there was a lot of very poor quality doos for sale at the show you know what they say fools and money are easly parted ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
shweet Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Posted January 18, 2010 Too right mate ! I spent the grand total of £0 at the show.
pigeonpete Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 you should have asked them they had some crap on their stand on the whole there was a lot of very poor quality doos for sale at the show you know what they say fools and money are easly parted ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D your a fool, and you didnt buy any!!! lol but your right, some pigeons were just not worth the money, Did you speak to your friend on the louella stand alan? :-)
pigeonpete Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Why was Louella selling a pigeon with one eye for I think £150 ? really?? was it blind or had a knock? was it worth £15o in your opinion? as it doesnt need them for breeding, must have been half decent for £150, but i bet they took it home with them
Guest strapper Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 should have gone to spec savers ;D
BLACK W F Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 did not have my badge on did you speak to my friend ;D ;D ;D ;D might have got discount but not that crap put better in the the wheelie bin ;D ;D ;D ;D on a whole these where the worst birds i ever seen at blackpool show there was odd ones that where worth a go tumley stud i would certainly buy from them some cracking birds on there stand and there birds fairly race and win but most of the stands full of crap JMO
adam owen Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 louella birds were really bad there was a cock for sale for 6oo pound there was better road peckers in blackpool streets the best birds in the show i saw were taskers very nice on the hole wernt impressed with blackpool this year wont be rushing to go again
pigeon pete57 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 did any one go to the royal antwerp colletion sale . i stayed for 16 lots and ithink they got bids for 4 or 5. ive seen better birds under the motoway bridge
Guest mick bowler Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 I hav'nt seen a decent sale bird from them in years. The all-fair auctions not too bad, but i went to one 2 years back, asked to handle a hen and she was full of canker, i told the lad and he just said "ok mate", but she was still sold!!
tjloft Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 I thought the majority of pigeons at the show were presented well but were not bought by me as they were not of the strain/line/type I was looking or which appeal to my tastes but I wont be slagging them off for that reason - It would appear that those who were snapping up Louella birds at the auctions and off the stand havent a clue what they are doing which should be of benefit to those on this site racing against them ;D ;D ;D My mate who regularly tops the fed bought in LPW Lindelaufs, he is obviously on the slippery slope downwards!!!!!
Guest stb- Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 They have all jumped on the band wagon , bringing the unwanted rubbish to ofload at blackpool. Think a lot buy with the beer googles on . JMO
Guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Why was Louella selling a pigeon with one eye for I think £150 ? offered a bird at " working mans prices" if it had two eyes the price would be £300.(evil)(evil) andy.
slinky slitheroe Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 offered a bird at " working mans prices" if it had two eyes the price would be £300.(evil)(evil) andy.I think they were some nice pigeons at the louella stand i handled one which was £45 and it was a cracker the only thing about it was it was thick with quill mite went back to it 20 mins later and it was sold,but i agree louella could do alot more in the presentation of there stock that was the worst mite infestation ive ever seen.

Roland Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Well, never went... money I saved will repay the missis for the new front door. Now I did do well there. Worth over £700 and I paid just over half price.... but got thenm to fit it. Now in the next few weeks Louella WILL be selling some decnt stuff if you take time choosing and looking into. £30 - £50 and will be worth every penny in today's climat. I'm 14 cock birds light .... but will just fly the hens celibacy till end of May Beginning of June for the longer races.... Oh yeah :-/ they will be mated to cock birds already mated...
Guest bakes Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 wasnt impressed in there birds louella put up had a look at the busshaerts and aadens seen better go in the bin tumley lofts had storming birds on show if i was going to purchase birds they would of been getting my money without a dowt. all the best.
david Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Hi Alan .If you remember back to late summer and the quality of the 2 red pouw pigeons i bought in . They were in great order ,feather texture , bright eyed , alert ,and bought from a web site . What do you think has happened with the louella birds this year? .In the BHW .The jan ardens, louella were using as sales examples were looking superb ..Did you see any of those that were advertised ?? DAVID
BLACK W F Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 david the ones off the web where first rate the ones on the stand in my opinion where Crap no way would i have bought them they had roland janssens i put better in the bucket and you know what i got i never would have taken any of that crap for nowt but i could think of a use for them put jackets on the lot and let them off ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

JAS Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Went to LPW sale in the Merry England bar on the Friday and they were very poor. One jan arden hen was in the BHW and looked the part, but when our Colin took it out the pen it was covered in quill lice. Not impressed at all.
