The white flight looks a nice pigeon but to pretty for me

But may be different in the hand

i thought Don there was a bit of showracer in both of them

i sold 140 young birds this season just gone, some phoned me up to discuss them and some collected them personally, either way i asked them to let me know how they did racing, be it good or crap .........none so far have had the decency to even let me know , over the years ive been selling them i have had some feedback, but in general not very much .........

George I didn't like saying but I will agree fully, as the feathering is too silky and looks a bit show racer type

Mind you there are a few racing men who do cross there racers with show birds, race the birds to say they have flown 100 miles then show them and win the racing class for 100 mile flown class

Not naming anyone but there is a fancier in scotland that does it and won supreme champion

David they have to be doing well because they keep buying from you

If they were no good you wouldn't be selling as many and word soon gets around

think i will ask him to come and collect them they don't even handle well

it looks a nice bird george, plenty of racers look nice and have thin bars and tight feathers ........so i wouldn't let that put you off.

the think i wouldn't be happy with is the fancier not giving you any info on the bird.

i once bred a racer with a show racer, it could barely fly round the house and was always the last home in training .....if i remember right the first race it went to was only a short one and it was late home, second race i never saw it again .

David I give birds away and never get feedback. Had birds won as well but I found out by someone else . It won't be happening again

i give one to well known fancier told me it was lost first toss got a fancier to dispose of all birds related to it 11 in total then seen the bird in a olr under a different name was told it was a mistake
