[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

Thanks for this Rose,would love to have the birds to fly that distance.

 

Tell you a story.

 

Bought a nice two year old cock at Blackpool many moons ago, payed a lot of money for him. Bird came from Germany from a guy named Mannfred Krubb. Paired it up and raced form borders about 60 miles won a second card in club, and 18 Fed.

 

Sent it two the race following week 60 miles again,never seen it again. Mr Krubb wrote to me to let me know the bird arrived  on the Tuesday night after a 10am Liberation at the Scottish borders.

 

Now that bird was sold as a sprinter ,thats why i bought

it.Makes you think

 

Told him to keep it,as the bird decided and worked two hard to get home.

 

Now thats the birds we all need

 

Happy days
