the famous quasemodo

what a pigeon

emailed my friend rod adams about this bird , wonder if they are any pics of this bird
Hi Ian,
Have you got a week to spare then? It was owned by Luke, Coulson and
Thompson of Westerhope and my memory (not infallible) says that it was a
full brother to two good cocks owned by John Soderlund and Ali Bros. and was
bred by the late Tommy Mann of Hebburn. It became crippled as a yearling
after spiralling down from the sky into a hedge leaving it with a limp, a
hump on its back and a neck so twisted its head rested upside down on the
ground. When sitting on the pan its head had to be supported by a wooden
block next to the pan or it would have choked.
I used to vaccinate it for them as they weren't sure where its neck
was - ask Don and little Bob as they came with me once. It was dead at a
fairly young age having bred 10 first Fed winners! What saved them killing
it was that on the day it fell out of the sky a youngster off it topped the
fed! It once featured on the front page of the RP but if you'd seen it in a
shop doorway or picked it up in the street you'd have killed it on the spot
it was that deformed. My own opinion was that it had developed an avian form
of something akin to muscular dystrophy. They kept it in a large box in
their cabin. How it mounted the hen beats me! Regards. Rod.

your an improving loft Ray and yes flying against the likes of soderland and the alis aint easy just look at how many lofts are flying well with their stock
