T_T Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 What is the best pigeon you've ever seen or handled ? I remember visiting Massarella in the late 50s early 60s and on show in the stock section and which I handled was a pigeon called "High Noon". This pigeon has always stayed with me in my mind, completely ( in my opinion ) out of this world.
Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 there was a scottish nat winner in bo, ness cauled high noon but dont know if massarella bought it beglin bros
Fair Play Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 High Noon did that not belong to the Beglins I can remember going to their loft and got a Grand daughter
Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 yes Beglin Bros. before my time but was told when it won the nat (nants) i think they timed at 12 o,clock the second or third time that bird won a good pos.timed at that time hence high noon!!!!
T_T Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 High Frank, Yes it was a Scottish National winner, a beautiful Mosaic Cock. There were many top pigeons at that time all under one roof another lovely Cock was "Great Future" of which I bought a son and he never bred me anything worth keeping but maybe that was down to me.
Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 yes i think that was Beglins bird its a small world
thunderboult Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 best bird i've seen is the padfields red cock, scored 8th newnorthroad fed from newton grange on the north switched south and won 1st,3rd,23rd+39th national pau. they even sent him back after winning the national.
Guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 i think the one that sticks out to me would be Matt Mclughlans astrex i handled her the week before she won the national lovley hen so was her nest mate but hotrods hen takes a bit of beating but dont tell him that he wont want to talk to us mere mortals
Fair Play Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I think if my memory serves me right it was of the Grooter lines of Hammond & Whittaker Your right Alf over 29 years ago the bird i got was also a mosaic High Noon was at louella for a good number of years
joe61 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 your right fair play h & w grooter i had one from chocolate soldier many years ago when i was young bred some nice babies oh happy days

Blue Chequer Pied Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Pearson & Dransfield's Belge cock was some pigeon and it was a ripe old age when I handled it and he bred an absolute dynasty of winners. Paul.
