He spent a bit of time with me on the phone when he reported our stray. I was going to phone him back at some point for a blether, but i spoke to his wife during the same phonecall and she told me he had been struggling healthwise so i didn't want to be a pest.

It may not be a conversation worth appreciation if a bar has been propped up

Need to make them more difficult

 

She was a superb pigeon. 6th,7th and 176th Open Kings Cup. The 176th Open was when she returned injured, marking her retirement to stock- a blessing

 

Davie told me they had a training spot that would take the ordinary pigeon 55minutes to an hour,the 25 Hen would do it in 35. They reckoned this was because she flew over the hills as opposed to round them.

 

When you take into consideration you can count the number of birds to be twice in the top 10 of the INFC king's Cup on your hands, she really was a special pigeon.

 

Her grandaughter was 'Annie Mary'-4th and 8th open INFC king's Cup, and her grandson was 8th and 5th Open. Amazing line of pigeons. Whit a stock loft!!Don't reckon I am likely to see another like it.

 

My father and I have enjoyed racing this line of birds, although not with the same success of the great Blacks of Dromore Our 18th open Alencon,39th Open Ypres and 68th Open Clermont can all be traced back to the 25 hen

i had a daughter from annie mary which i paired to a son of there 8th open kings cup

 

this is one of there daughters . do you have any picks of annie mary herself

[Rooster J. Cogburn]

Aye he could certainly flee a doo
