frank-123 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 great to read it was miles behind the others from training and short races but when it came to the distance
hotrod Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 great to read it was miles behind the others from training and short races but when it came to the distancethats the prob with pigeonmen frank they buy/get distance birds race them as young ,miles behind ,race them as yearlings, miles behind ,then they get rid of them or condemn them before they get to where they can do the business LONG DISTANCE , thats when u know if u really have long distance birds once they have raced and scored from there not at 200 miles.
podgy Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 the big fella,jack curtis, once wrote that blue boy was the best of the best at them distances and i for one would totally agree outstanding champion without doubt simply the best theres not many come even close, i just wonder what his vaulue would be todays market,podgy
peter BlytheCorbridge Posted January 29, 2024 Report Posted January 29, 2024 I'm an old pigeon man and was ruminating on the great channel pigeons of my youth. Was thinking of knowledge Iv lost from generation of pigeon men of my past. Left are fragments of old stories shared by mainly old miners (Pitmen) of my past. Passed on around pigeon lofts when I was a kid. Besotted with pigeons and the great pigeon men and their pigeons. I was surrounded back then by top Chanel racers. Other kids might have wanted to be the next Jackie Millburn or Cliff Richards. Me, l wanted to be the next Tom Kilner. I wanted pigeons as good as Blue Boy ,the Quite Man or the Thousands pound hen. Over the years , I got close , but not quite. Now Id like to record some of our pigeon history before it lost like my fading memory. Possibly leaving it to Wood hall museme along with my collection of ola timing clocks. Thought Blue boy was a good place to start. Any help great fully acepted
