Louella

[Michael J Burden]

I have this week purchased a bird after looking at their website. An opal cock for very little money was paid. The pedigree was all there to see and it is a grand son of some very handy pigeons. I went over this morning to collect it as Louella are open from 10am to 1pm. I have not been there for about 19 years so I was wondering what it was like now.

Well the rooms where they do business with the public was an eye opener. Absolutely full of birds in pens at reasonable prices. Not sure what they were etc as no pedigrees, apart from breed. All the same some fine examples of birds to buy if you so desired.

What impressed me most was the number of fanciers there, in the few minutes I was there many birds were exchanged for money. Again at reasonable prices.

Anyone been there recently and had anything of late, how did they measure up in the breeding department?

Yes I was there this morning at 9 45 and picked up three I bought on the net. Have done this previously and I am pleased with what I have, 5 in total Got home and one went over my head and out the door. Doh :B
