Roger Maris Pigeons

[Dave A]

has any of you lads or lasses heard or have raced these if so what do you think of them, i was told these are purely sprint birds but do you know any more ?

[Guest jason]

I had one, I had it given a few years ago, it was so good I gave it my neighbour lol.

yes I was told theyr'e sprint birds but I wouldn't get any more, I stick with van reets and janssens for the sprint and schellens and lefabre dhanens for the middle distance.(I've never bothered with distance birds).

A good friend has probbably the best Marris birds in the country. One of the top three flyers in the fed on a regular bassis. He wouldn't send to the distances mine go cos he can't get 'em. HORSES FOR COURSES

Mike!!! HE IS THE MAN I'd be sure there are no better Marris pigeons in the country. But others may have there own oppinions. If I were after sprint birds, I would go to him for his Marris. Each to there own but!  He is a man I know and trust, and they are some of the best localy. I'd be torn between going to Nuneaton or Leamington.

These look like Houbens to me

 

[peterpau]

They may look like Houbens but my friend went to Marris and was the first one to bring them into the country
