free birds

I have 2 stock cocks free to anyone interested, one direct Lambrecht and the other from cauldwell van reets, both 2010 and filled eggs this year, got peds for both pm me if interested?

good and generous offer r/rog, im sure they will be snapped up .......

You know, yes have always been genuine fanciers offering good birds … Most though in days gone by it was club/ fed at tops. Soon passed on to mates... or deemed not so good.
Late bred bought for very good prices season's end after re - mating the widow/h's. Was a boon to new comers... but sadly mostly bought from existing fanciers who knew what was what … so the chances of a lesser, or a new fanciers were slim/
Yes some bred newcomers a few youngsters to start them up … But sorry to say not from top fanciers.- I may have some come back on that as many will say 'not true'... but never will I ever be convince otherwise. At best it was from not so great performing birds.

Now we see another great genuine fancier giving as such. Indeed with the aid of the 'The net' it gives many genuine ones a chance to have such good genuine birds FREE!
Well Done redrog.

Never seen much of that to the ' Lesser Flyer' being able to have as such.
Sadly I even known of a household name- worldwide- whom I on occasions met, but never ever had time for him. Indeed wouldn't pee in his ear if his brain was on fire. Yes visited his loft a time or two … then never responded to him again. He knew why too That I. had no time for him whatsoever. He always, but always, on the look out for a conn etc.

For example he spoke loudly once (to impress all) who had just join his club that he would supply him with a pair or two of first class stock birds. Yet it was thought by one and all it was a great freebie and offer!
Next week he gave him two pairs at the club for all to see,
Next when able to with no one seeing or hearing whispered in the lads ear 'Don't tell the others what a great deal and price I gave you on them birds, so just give me £400 a pair'! True! Could write a book on his skulduggery and conns etc.

Well done, genuine sporting offer.

There has always been those who take advantage of their position in the sport and abuse it, and I mean the one like Daz mentions, give to auctions for this that and the other to promote their names as good fellows, one I new, another world wide notary, did so and often the purchaser never received the bird.


I bid for a pigeon which a young lad was bidding for and when he had to drop out I bid and gave the voucher to the young lad, he never got the youngster.


In our area you can read the results and on numerous occasions the winner is one gifted from a fellow fancier. many exchange pigeons and help each other.


Any new fancier in our area could set up with first class pigeons for virtually nothing other than the basics needed to race them.


It is not the lack of good pigeons but the lack of new fanciers.


Regards.

Great offer

nice offer rog I hope someone takes you up on them atb

If no one takes up the offer it will further confirm the state of the sport, and the present fanciers in it, not all but too many.


A couple of youngsters off either that to a fancier who has the breeds involved could only strengthen their options and at no cost.


Lets wait and see.


Regards.
