Wiley Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 yea lovely birds mate do you race them
THE FIFER Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Posted November 20, 2006 now and again, i usually keep them for liberations etc, the one on the right took part in the queens golden gubilee, when she liberated 50 birds at staffordshire, it was the only one from scotland.
Guest CS Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Lovely birds, mate... How many whites do you keep for librations etc?
Guest Paulo Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 nice birds I like a bit of colour in the loft checkers and blues get boring
THE FIFER Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Posted November 21, 2006 i have about 12, but some are not pure white getting a lot of saddles and some with blue in their tails,
Peckedhen Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Beautiful birds Fifer. Whites are definitely my favourite. I've 18 left now - got throught the season with only two losses, then had a couple of bad releases and accidently let the stock birds!! >

pigeonpete Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 nice birds archie mate, is that the 1 amtrak let out?? ;D ;D ;D ;D
stevebelbin Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Any chance of purchasing a pair?? My mate had an old fave rapido-busschaert that I managed to lose of training, which he has never forgiven me. Id love to surprise him with a pair of whitens to replace him ;D ;D
rlez Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 great looking birds,when were the whites put into the family and by who les
Guest Doostalker Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Archie are they White Emperor Lines or another line of Busschaerts? Mate of mine had some of these and like yourself got a lot of saddles etc but always had a few breeding pure white.

Mate of mine had some of these and like yourself got a lot of saddles etc but always had a few breeding pure white. yes they are the Emperor lines from Warren Foster, Ken Aldred and Wynn Morse, are all on the original pedigrees when i purchased them from a chap in london, a few years back, one pair i got was bred by Warren Foster,
