Edgie's (Old Bird Season)

Hi lads after is was mentioned about distance birds and the name Edgie was also mentioned I thought to myself to find his number out and give him a ring

Which I did today, and he was most happy to speak to me asking me how the site was how everyone was keeping and how there season had gone, I asked him the reason why he had not been on the site and he informed me that he has moved house 3 times in the last 18 months and has had to take a back seat with regards the site

I asked Edgie if he was still racing and his comment was yes with a small team of only 12 birds, he informed me that the birds he is racing were not breed until May last year and were raced North Road as youngsters, but as Edgie is mainly a distance flyer north road route is not long enough for him so another house move came and he joined the south road club and turned the pigeons round to race south route as yearlings and they have done pretty well for him

Edgie informed me that the birds have had every race inland and channel race except Bourges were there had been a mix up with the Fed and the club had to cancel the race but on the whole he has had a good season with such as small team and they have earned there perch for the coming winter.

Edgie is looking forward to the youngsters as he said he has a nice team to play with fingers crossed he can keep the majority of them for next year

I did ask Edgie what he had won and and in his club they have 6 prizes and he has won with broken pigeons 21 prizes club cards then you have Fed cards which have not been added to the list

5 x 1sts
4 x 2nds
2 x 3rds
3 x 4ths
2 x 5ths
5 x 6ths

And that's with pigeons that have been raced north road as youngsters to be turned around as yearlings to race the south road and the most he set to each race was 8 pigeons at anyone time, credit were credit is due I take my hat of to him

Very well done!!!

Can I please say that the cost of the birds is between whoever discusses the matter with Edgie, plus if you interested you would have to sort out your own courier.

But what he has said is what ever money is raised he would like myself to give it to a registered charity, which I have agreed plus he does not what members to think that he is only trying to use the site to sell his pigeons AS HE DOES NOT THINK DOING THAT IS GOOD PRACTICE  and this is a good will gesture to all members of the site.

The breed are called Van Edgies (Motta Lines) and in my own opinion will grace any loft but what he has said is they would have to be raced and he would like feed back to see how they have performed

As I always say lads fill your boots they are good quality and good honest pigeons.

The Van Edgies Maybe not for the purists Don but I would be most happy to fill my boot as such with them etc. I would have a talk with a clubmate of mine flys The Van Ducks/Dykes as we call them. Could be the next great thing ???? in the pigeon world if I crossed them all together .
PS. Nice gesture by Edgie with his donation also etc.

Cheers Knackered, yes its a great gesture from Edgie he just wants to give the site members an opportunity to race his birds

Plus raise money for a worth while charity
