500 mile birds

[sapper756]

Having experienced yet another disasterous race from 525miles, I,m begining to ask myself, where should I be looking for reliable distance blood. Up here in Fife Dennis Dall seems to be a reliable source. Any ideas?

[celtic]

what about some of the flyers a bit more north from fife ? there seem to be good flyers in the clock regulary from up north .

[Chris Little]

If it is Scottish based birds you are after then just study the national results over the last few seasons , the same names are at the top end.

if you look at dandydoos sale on the for sale post, im positive youll get the best of the scottish distant birds there, worth a look,

[swilcox]

I have some nice l/breds for sale in 2/3 weeks from the very best in Europe!!

One of the most consistant 500 mile day birds I know of are Bekaerts, I wonder of they are available in the UK????

Look no further than the top flyers in your own locality as you know their birds will do the business.

 

 

[Guest]

yes but shadow will they give them off their best?

[pender]

e mann d burns j doig j king procter there is scores of them in that area, what you do is ask someone you no who will be the best person to go to, it not always the best pigeon man you get the best pigeons from ?

[superstar]

I dont think you will get much good stuff from your own doorstep, pigeon faciers arnt daft especialy the good ones! Look up consistent flyers miles away they might let you have something worth having. Good luck in your quest i hope you find what your looking for

TRY KARDALE STUD THEY HAVE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF MOST OF THE BEST LONG DISTANCE BIRDS IN SCOTLAND

Realistically any fit conditioned bird should home from 540 miles.

Prehaps not quick enough, but then that is down to the fancier.

Had a fellow the other week say 'Cor Roland, can't understand dem, the come like the clappers on training tosses, swirl half a circle and then in.... I can't understand it'!  Birds are fit and conditioned......That is why he still at the bottom when he times in!

[Mike Lycett]

Jim Donaldson...    He gets em all the time up into Northern Jockland

[sapper756]

YES I  AGREE, HOWEVER I,VE NEVER HEARD OF OTHERS WINNING WITH HIS BIRDS, SO DOES HE GIVE YOU HIS BEST?

[Guest WINGS 04]

YOU CAN BY THER BIRDS BUT YOU CANT BY THE MAN

[sapper756]

VERY TRUE

[Westwater Assassin]

Plenty of "GOOD" 500 mile men in Fife and they seem to get better every year , Get on the phone to the likes of Jock King, Brian Chalmers, Jim & Gary Peggie (i could mention more) these guy are always there or there abouts at the "BIG BOYS RACES" .

 

As for them giving you there best ? well i see no point in them giving you a bad one as it only makes the Fancier look bad as well.

 

500 miles is not easy !!!!!!!

[andy]

ALL THE GOOD 500 MILE MEN HAVE 1 OR 2 OR EVEN 3 GOOD PIGEONS IN THEIR LOFTS WHICH KEEP THEM AT THE TOP FOR  A COUPLE OF SEASONS AND THEN YOU FIND THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF LEAN YEARS UNTIL THE QUALITY COMES OUT AGAIN. NOW THESE GUYS HAVE 50 OR 60 BIRDS IN THEIR LOFTS AT LEAST, AND TOO GET 1 OR 2 OF THEM FOR YOURSELF AS MAYBE YOUNGSTERS OR LATE BREDS TO DO THE BUISNESS IS LONG ODDS. YOUVE GOT TO GET AT LEAST 3 OR 4 PAIRS TO HAVE HALF DECENT ODDS, AND WITH A BIT OF LUCK AND SKILL YOU NEVER KNOW!!!!!!!!!!

                                 ALL THE BEST ANDY M....

definately agree with you andy,, most folks buy a pair of ybs , loose them ,then say so and so,s birds are no good, you need a firm base of a good few , able to breed from them , form a team , then your loft management and know how, comes in to practise,,,and even then the greats, dont come 10 a penny
