217 ace bird though george, plus not very good results through the hot spots, 3rd in final but maybe just a fluke ...? £1,120 so far for the winner, still plenty of time to go yet ..... |

| Early days, no idea at this stage what they will go for.
Just thought back to the days when velocities were worked out long hand variations by a swizzle stick and several different kinds of timers.
Now we have all the technology but lost most of the fun.

| to be fair every bird ive bought from the rpra one loft has been healthy, and never had any heath issues in the time ive had them, yet strange how losses are sometimes but down to health issues during racing/training ..... |

| Just had a look in at the auction.
I know there is a long way to go but if I had one in I would certainly start the bidding off at the starting bid to show some early interest.
Afraid there are many not getting bids on other sites at closing time.
Much uncertainty in many different aspects of life at this time afraid.
Regards.

| yes £60 for one bird is scandalous ...... you could end up spending more on the courier than the bird . |

I noticed the name cropping up David and thought about yours. Cannot believe in reality that there are any pure breeds. Fanciers try a new pigeon or two out and even if they blend in and breed winners they are still pure this or that. As things are health wise in the pigeon world ???????. Regards. |

| im not too bothered about names/breeds misty, they are only as valid as the man naming them .... pedigrees can easily be fabricated, i`d much prefer to buy birds from someone who races well with them . |
