thats the one Mick,

 

i just bought 4 birds from brendan earlier, a very nice man i have to say, very accommodating to a novice like myself.

 

i had only planned on buying 1 bird for my dad for christmas, but as chance would have it, my dad left his stock loft door open earlier, and 4 got out, hence why i then had to buy 2 pairs as quick as possible for my dad, otherwise he wouldnt be breeding enough for the coming season

 

i was just trying to get some feedback on what i bought, im not overly bothered about the names of the birds, as i think brendans results speak volumes, but curiosty always eats away at you doesnt it

[DAVIDL]

raced the verheys in the late 80`s and they won well for us, i know some will not agree but the birds were bought from louella and they were excellent............
