Vets' Tips for Fanciers only £25 including UK postage and packing.



A gripping story of murder, corruption and revenge. By Graham Mc Arthur
Tam Murdoch, a Fife pensioner and racing pigeon fancier is brutally murdered on the eve of an important race. His son, Michael, returns from Canada to not only bury the father he fled from as a teenager, but also to unravel the mystery surrounding his death.

Michael becomes convinced that the murder is connected to a champion racing pigeon. His search for the truth - for revenge - spans the country, reaching the heart of a sport proud of its previously unquestioned integrity.

Blood Flight only £9 including UK postage and packing.


By Dr. Zolt Talaber, the Hungarian pigeon vet.

Pigeons and their Economical Health Care only £20 including UK postage and packing.

We could have stocked many more products in the Pigeonbasics Shop, but if we can't offer them cheaper than they are available elsewhere, we don't want to.

Looks like some good books there and definitely good Christmas gifts  :)

Well done webmaster for setting this up and linking to amazon, going to make it a lot easier looking for pigeon books now!

We've teamed together with John from Norban, and Dyllan from PigeonVitality to bring a few more items to the shop. And bring them with special offers :)

Quoted from PigeonVitality - Improver

Improver is a unique patent protected product (natural organic acids) designed to improve the race performance and to protect the pigeons against bacterial  diseases  such  as:  Paratyphoid, Salmonella E.coli and others. At the same time it brings the pigeons in top conditions day after day! The body of the bird will look much better (feathers) and stronger (before, during and after races) together with an improvement of the compass orientation. http://www.pigeonbasics.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=24

£20 + Free UK P&P
Or both Improver + AntiFungal = £38 + free UK P&P

Quoted from PigeonVitality - AntiFungal

AntiFuncal is a great additive to Improver designed to solve the problem of Fungals. Avoid loss of good pigeons due to lack of condition. Kills the high concentration of the fungal 'Candida Albican'. In combination with Improver it kills bad bacteria as salmonella, e.coli and in addition of fungals also inhibit the spreading of  canker and other diseases through drinking water.  It replaces antibiotics cure, therefore it stops the destruction of the natural micro flora in the birds that was generally caused by the antibiotics. Bring back the natural balance of the pigeons (treatment
dosage in three - five days). http://www.pigeonbasics.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=25

£20 + Free UK P&P
Or both Improver + AntiFungal = £38 + free UK P&P

I've got a few samples of the above two new products to give out, just need to think of some witty competition to select the lucky few :P Ideas?

I'm very tempted by many items in the PB shop, and if anyone hasn't bought anything from here before, I'd heartily recommend it.  Loads of methods of payment options, excellent prices, and in my experience, excellent delivery times :-)
