Louella Certificate of origin

Having a look at the louella site as Im thinking about buying a pair but there offering for sale, birds with 'certificate of origin' for £35 but thats all they show, does anyone know what these birds are, or am I being stupid

it means you get a certificate to say wat breed the bird is and where its from but no pedigree if you want a pedigree with the bird the price starts from £40 up,hope this is of some help to you

yes paul your being stupid...lol

Paul if you want anything from Louellas go there and see what your buying first mate

i agree with darren paul, a certificate of origin is to verify what breed the bird is.........not like a written out pedigree of the parents/grandparents.

i dont think you are stupid buying from louella, weve had some good birds from them in the past.........why are you thinking of buying from them paul, is it a certain breed you are after ?

Yes will agree with you David when there dad was alive but now it's all about money with the sons as i said best to ggo to louella's and buy as you see them

y/bs are ggg grandsons off good stock, best are old birds that are about 8 to 10 years old closer to best of breed, some on offer at times at greatly reduced prices, might only get 1 or 2 years breeding but some are sons/daughters or grandchildren

i think you can still get decent pigeons from louella, and as we all know nothing is guaranteed when you buy birds from anywhere...........no one can tell you for definate a pigeon will win, so if you breed a few decent ybs off older stock you cant complain.

personnally tho, if these birds i have are no good after racing them and testing them, i will study who is winning with what birds and buy from them if possible..........but certainly go for the best proven lines i can.

I bought a bird from louella when I first started back 2 years ago, it was 35 quid delbar. It was meant to be for a feeder as I was short on birds and it was cheap, turned out it bred excellant birds 2 winners in 2 years.

Your spot on there Steve

paul i was only joking ,your not stupid for buying from them at all.loke i said i was just agreeing with you for a bit fun ,you know me lol.......you might hit lucky like when you buy any pigeon from anywhere as we all know.....plus like i,ve told you before i can breed you a good team of ybs any time your want for nothing,you can,t get cheaper than that can you

I know Ray, I know what your like , Im looking to get a distance strain so I can have a decent go at Bourges in a few years, I didnt think that you concentrated at that distance, thought you and barry were more short to middle distance,

yes we are but we are going back to the distance races as well

what do you consider a good distance strain ray.....?

even tho im not opposed to buying off louella, i think this advise from dinky is good.......

Agree in a way david, but almost every advert in the racing pigeon boasts of 'great' pigeons off all winners, but they all cant be good so its a gamble whichever pigeon you buy.

yes very true paul....i often think the same myself. every advert claims to have "the best" and most of the time its just clever wording and a fancy advert..........
