steve Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 just back into pigeons after 10 years + coming back into fancy types just want some feeders and am looking at using white racers or maybe the other option is using some distance pigeons with a veiw to maybe sending to the channels races what are best long distance birds of today

peterpau Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 spangles Well got my bird from Palamos this year 751 mile and there's Spangle blood in him.
Fair Play Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Look at some of the fanciers towards the North of Scotland
feathers Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 jim donaldson peterhead the best 500+milers
peterpau Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Look at some of the fanciers towards the North of Scotland Yes I think it's harder to get birds to fly 751 mile into Scotland than it would be to here.
Guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 here is one man that flyes very good pigeons at 500 miles J W PUDDEPHATT one bird of his called HIGHDOWN PRINCE flew 2nd sec 19th open DAX NFC on the day and 3rd sec 25th open PAU NFC on the day both in the same month in 2004 ,you wont find many pigeons that can do that ,the birds are a blend of southwells ,spangles ,and his birds , ATB les.

Guest shadow Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 the birds I flew were british faroes and they came well for me also had putmans
ChrisMaidment08 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Far as i know the originate from Oliver Dix think they could be possibly hansenne x logan birds really i think bit of everything it seems this way when you get birds blended to what you require by most top breeders the day of pure birds has gone
bewted Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 really i think bit of everything it seems this way when you get birds blended to what you require by most top breeders the day of pure birds has gone same in belguim,holland etc,,,,but,,,over there the fanciers from here pay extortionate prices for all these so called pure birds,,,,,,lmao at them all !!
mark Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 same in belguim,holland etc,,,,but,,,over there the fanciers from here pay extortionate prices for all these so called pure birds,,,,,,lmao at them all !! there is not such a thing as pure. when the late george busschaert purchased a bird no matter which strain it was when the bird entered his loft it became a busschaert.
bewted Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 there is not such a thing as pure. when the late george busschaert purchased a bird no matter which strain it was when the bird entered his loft it became a busschaert. yes,,,but,,,fanciers are going over there and paying extortionate prices for pure this and pure that ,,,,,when theres exactly the same type of pigeons here,but,people dont want to know as they say here there crossed and wont pay much if any !!! makes you laugh at times,fanciers with money to waste !!!!
