What's Your Thoughts

[Ian McKay]

What are you thoughts on White racing pigeons

 

Not White Grizzles only pure White birds

 

Have you raced and won with them ?

 

If so at what distance ?

Fifer bred me one many years back now, he scored very well as a yb upto 235 mile, as an old bird he was lost on his first training spin. Alf Baker had Omo a fantastic bird, the marcel wouters pigeons will make a big impact in this country also i feel and many whites are produced from them

had a story about a pair went from the nest to a friend in Nottingham, he raced them as yearlings, and as 2 yo was at Berwick, and one came to me, when I phoned him he said he had the 2 at berwick but still waiting on one, he couldnt believe it when i told him it was here, he sent for ir and put it back to berwick as a 3yo, and homed to him, he then tried it from Thurso and it came back to me again, i kept it and gave it to a club mate who bred some good flyers from it, those youngsters had never been out my nest box before going to nottingham,

I STARTED USING THEM FOR FUNERALS AND WEDDINGS AND THEY MORE THAN PAID FOR THEIR KEEP.........GUYS KEPT ASKING ME FOR THEM AND I GAVE A FEW AWAY. THEN THEY CAME BACK AGAIN SO I STARTED TO SELL A FEW. THEY LOOKED SO WELL I STARTED TO SEND A FEW TO THE RACES WITH MY OWN .. ON STEADY DAYS THEY WERE ALWAYS IN THE FIRST FEW HOME AND ONCE CAME TO WIN BUT FLEW ARROUND FOR 2 MINS AND CAME 2ND.......SADLY NEARLY ALL GONE NOW BAR AN OLD COCK THAT RETURNED AFTER A FEW YEARS...........
