Much of what you say is true etc G  . Never been all that big on auctions I'm afraid (I'm a tight a**e)   Handy having some good friends thou, that fly a mean pigeon.

Yes Nac I think the big money is gone for pigeons simply because the money is not their and I think people is begining to realise that the more they breed the less they get to fly I still think selective breeding is better
