| Can I ask advice on what is a good strain of pigeon that would fly Bourges, approx 572 Miles, I like flying that race and have decided to try to build a team to fly distance, so what are your views on a good strain of Bird to fly such a distance, I ask as Im going to the UNC show and would like to keep an eye out for a bargain, thanks |
