midnight_son Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 In his youth my old man used to run regular shows through the winter in the Pond Hall in Port Seton. At that time he had a pigeon that was famous within the club for its highly unusual appearance - a darkish red cheq on one side and a dark cheq on the other. Whichever way you looked at it, it was quite a fine looker. He used to enter it in the thru the wires class where the judges would usually mark it on the first pass and come back with the cane to have a closer look at it when deciding the cards. There was always great hilarity when all the members were waiting to see the judge's reaction as he turned this bonny red/dark around to find it was the other colour on the other side !
