Late Bread

[BigBobbyBear]

Hi all

 

I was discussing on another thread about starting up this August on returning from hols, my loft will be ready and i was looking at about a dozen ish birds to train through this year and next to gain experiance. I want to learn a lot and make sure i treat the birds properly, so with good advice i want to take my time. My son and daughter are keen to help and i am posting to see if any you more experianced flyers will have late breads around mid august that you may have no space for in your own lofts. Any colours etc as the fun for me is in the whole science of it and the more amazing looking the better. The lofts i have been lucky enough to see are fantastic and i have a good idea about what i want to achieve, maybe the competative bug will bite me as well but the sport fascinates me.

 

Thanks in advance

speak to fanciers that are in your area as to when late breds are going to be available, if any. Look at joining the local club and see how its all done.

 

Best wishes alex.

hi just one little thing when you go to your local fancer for your first chat try to find out who s the best man in that area better to get them from the best than fill your loft with rubbish space is very valuble and you soon run out of it and we all have some bird we should get rid of so be carfull all the best BOB

Yes i was thinking about getting good birds, but as a new guy it will be difficult to approach people, i dont like asking as it is always assumed i imagine that you are after something for nothing. I dont want loads of birds, about ten max to begin with. It wood be nice to have varying colours and distance ability but i am a simple novice.

 

As for the best in my area, go on then tell me who they are if you can, Airdrie & Coatbridge is my local area.

 

I really do appreciate all the advice on offer

don't be scared to aks sometimes you just have to brass neck it'if they're decent enough they give you a pair of late breds.

There are a few lofts around my area and i pass a few cracking big lofts between Coatbridge and Glenmavis, are most guys happy to be approached for advice etc or do people get suspicious about guys at the door asking questions?

[BigBobbyBear]

Yes the kindness is overwhelming, i was looking to keep the numbers managable and that is what i intend so it is shaping up really nicely, oh and the loft is nearly ready

[JohnQuinn]

I have 3 just hatched this week, if you can get rings for them they are yours, need to be shrpish though, say by Sat/Sun at the latest, i'm only over in Wishaw.
