| our rpra one loft bird arrived this afternoon, delivered by walkers, and as usual an excellent service......had a look at the bird and am highly delighted with it, what a nice pigeon it is, its a small to medium bird but well made, and quite similar to my van reets. all in all delighted with the purchase.... |

| not sure Darren, pedigree says hen, rpra one loft says cock.......to me it looks like a hen, but until it goes in with my other pigeons I wont be able to see, but whatever it is, im very pleased with it, its a quality bird which im sure will breed something decent to race.
are you collecting your tomorrow...? |

| I am so happy that your new bird is what you wanted.
All you need now is a Dai Evans hen to go with it - lol.

| Being honest I thought being a one loft bird I thought it would be hitting the walls when you walked in the loft David. |

| yes exactly what I thought steve, when I took it out of the box it was grunting and I said to the mrs its going to be a bit wild because its a one loft pigeon, but to be fair the pigeon is as calm as any of my own, and settled in no problem. |

| Apparently the price was right. You are pleased with it. It has brains and ambition. Breed it to one of your best and send the youngster back to compete! |
