Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 :)nice gesture Tam ,and i understand youve had a few of these card for you in the past ? well done . andy
Guest Vic Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Three of 'em as black as the Hobs of Hell! The younger one, looks like daddy was lost for a few days. lol. By the way TAMMY, when breeding blacks, do you ever get the odd silver or barless mealy. An old friend of mine, was doing it in the fifties and he told me that there was some connection between these Colour Patterns. Good luck for the Weekend.

Or if they work at all. Im sure when you want some fancy pigeons to keep. The members on here will be only to happy to help you out. PJC knows alot about fancy birds. he put us right about the fancy tiger swallows. Amanda

ALF Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Keith Thomas moved into the hills in Wales a few years back and got a team of black/dark uns and the hawks took them just the same as he was writing in the BHW every week to let us all know how he was getting on..Ended up he gave up and moved back to Portsmouth ( i think )

Then perhaps he can come online and tell us about all the times his birds beat your lol ;D ;D ;D ;D plus the members on here might be able to tell him " how to get more pocket money out of dad" lol ;D ;D ;D all the best Amanda
