Anyone interested

I have a pair of distance birds to go free these are a nest pair a red cock and a dark w/f hen from my Scottish 500ml family

Excellent offer ..goodluck

fair play mark thinking of the lads here

That is one of the problems in the sport.

The willingness of fanciers to offer a helping hand, free, both to existing fanciers and prospective fanciers is never given the publicity it deserves, everything is commercial based to assist the studs etc;

When a prospective fancier sees pigeons being sold for thousands of pounds he/she does not realise that a gift pigeon could in fact be far better in every respect.

The sports publications does not help matters either, many items would make an interested potential fancier think you need a bottomless pocket to compete.

The sport actually needs publicity outside the confines of the BHW and the RP.

It is no good preaching to the already enlightened.

the RP editor has his fingers in all sorts of pies all of them are selling something to do with pigeons he has his own health range for the pigeons to also sells a few birds ,you be doing well to give all to the birds in the week his stall at the show had a whole host of remedies even warm wheat germ oil dear oh dear some people have more money than sense

As you know I have offered many pigeons on here FREE but not many wanted them strangely enough, if I put 40 pound on them they would go. People think when free something is wrong . But you learn you lesson and gone go from here now

you deserve better Ray I would suggest. Learn the art thou of spin & bling etc & add a huge load of bull sh**e on a toilet roll as such, & your situation would improve no end I suspect .

Mark what an outstanding offer. If only I was able I would be up to yours in a flash. Yes and donate to a charity of your choice. I loved reds - indeed all colours. It made the neighbours Pigeon friendly and they loved to see them. Now Red Grizzle, in deed till later in time I just never seemed to be able to keep.
Yes well done Mark. A credit to our sport.

Brilliant offer Mark

Probably their illustrations ancestors.
They are in mine ????

I have had some great results in last few years with van bels thanks to don Webb and again could sell them all day but they are going nowhere as I am not in the sport to sell or make money. Just obsessed with winning I'm afraid

Thanks for the comment Ray

They am a top breed and Van Bell was his area champion this year with both old birds and yearlings

Hope someone has taken these off mark, I’ve had birds from him and can vouch for the quality and condition of his birds, super they are, if the old boy who finished in our club didn’t bring his birds to us I would have had them for sure

That's why I have ordered 12 direct next season don. Brilliant birds

I do not know about Van Bell but Ian Bells video is well worth a viewing, No grilles, NO cleaning out following with a scraper, nor any treatment other than when returning from a race.

His pigeons look the goods and those close up have eye sign to delight the enthusiasts.

Could learn a lot from him if interested in widowhood, not my cup of tea but a reasonable approach to those who do.

Regards.
