Saj Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 I know that there are a few people here that keep fancy pigeons. Andrew Lowe who runs The Nottingham, Blackpool and Doncaster fancy pigeon shows is organising a coach trip to Leipzig Germany from the 6th to the 10th December. There are thousands of fancy pigeons on show plus chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys – all sorts of birds. I went last year and there were well over 10,000 pigeons on display. http://www.europaschau-leipzig.de/en/content/welcome-european-show-leipzig-2012 If anyone is interested please contact Andy on 0115 8460527

Bigda does not mean to offend, it is just his way of joking with friends. He does not realise just how big the pigeon world is outside of racing These are real pigeon shows Bigda (not that I am into showing birds) but there are serious pigeon fanciers outside racing.The more people involved in pigeons the better is what I say. Have fun.
andy Burgess Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 would love to be in a position to go , i bet its a great visit .
THE FIFER Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 yes all the best for a great show, I got a pair of westies a few years ago I believe came from Andrew Lowe, ans still have birds bred from them, keep them with my young birds, they fly high and for ages
Saj Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 It is a great show 2 massive halls - One hall full of fancy, the other full of other type of birds in pens as well as large displays. Last year they had a indoor lake with ducks swimming - the really do make an effort. It took me few ours to go around and see the fancy pigeons - in the end i started skipping pens as its just too much for one day. So the second day was part fancy pigeons and ducks etc. At 235pp its not too much for a 4 start hotel plus breakfast and travel to leipzig. Also you can bring back pigeons as there are sales pens in the show - but i don't think you can bring back chickens or ducks due to defra rules. Its a good social in the evening quite alot of people bring there partners / kids as it's family frendly trips. Also there are a lot of people who just like to go out in the eveing and enjoy the german beer.
Guest grizzler Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 went to this show a couple of years back,like you say a great place to visit..met up with some of my dutch and german friends..would love to go again sometime
