stevebelbin Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 50miles south of bourges, the bird in question had been liberated from bourges and made it 50miles the wrong way haha! The pigeon batted for the otherside so he did have a tendency to make the wrong decisions ;-)!!!

Cracking cock bird though and was my pick out my yearlings what went wrong i will never know but the last correspondence i had was that the bird had been a good servant to its new owner.

greenlands Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Had a blue cock,every time i sent him over the water he was reported in Stranrear x4.always came back on his own after being reported,last season something must have went wrong never reported never came home.May be some one decided to breed a pair of young off him.Like an oil painting,must have been engine oil though as far as flying.
