HOMER49 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 HiHas anybody purchased these baskets if so what's your opinionas to quality and value for money CheersHomer 49
showman Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Haven't purchased from them in years. Having kept an eye on them from time to time, I think they're a bit expensive for something that is possibly imported from Far East. OMO.
bernie_don Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 HiHas anybody purchased these baskets if so what's your opinionas to quality and value for money CheersHomer 49bought one for 80.00 and sent it straight back, cheap crap. and was not the one in the photo
lanarkshire lad Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 My son bought one from them last year I was disappointed with the quality.
Upsndoons Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Sadly I have to agree. Family bought me 2 eight bird baskets last year as birthday presents. The liner in one has come away and frayed, tangling in the birds feet.The construction uses metal twisted wire and heavy duty steel clips to hold panels together and this prevents access into the basket via a lid like the old baskets.Would I buy any more ? No.Just wish we could get the old ones with good lids and straps to secure. :-(
Valiant Fifer Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Aye a ken they dont make thum like they used too!

b.massey Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 I got 6 bird show basket a few years ago, lined inside and good quality But was about 5/6 years ago now
Guest IB Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 I got one with two sections and two lids a few years back. My birds aren't big, but I have bother putting them in and even more bother getting them back out those lids - they're far too small for pigeons.
