Phantom Flyers

I dont no what is golng on but Phantom Flyers picked up my birds from Portsmouth at 8 20 am yesterdayto go to the somerset one loft and up to 7 45 pm they had not arrived, I hope for the birds sake they are not still in the box as I am not very happy with that sort of tretment for young birds that sort of stress they dont need to start off with. as any body els had some sort of thing like this

it is a long time ginger, maybe he has fed and watered them out of the box over night, ive never used him altho ive heard of him.....hope they arrive safely

ive only ever heard bad reports bout them Ginger i only use 1 courier and that is Highflyers uk pigeon couriers and they have always kept me and the fanciers i have sent bird to or had birds from upto date all the time and from what ive heard tont the one thats just packed up was very good to

their a good outfit are phanthom and they keep birds themselves and have holding pens ...all should be ok ginger i would think

any news on the birds ginger, have they arrived....?

I have just looked on the Somerset rings list and it seems all is well as some birds are there in Gingers name. Many couriers have holding pens and feed and water them before driving them to their destination. Our own birds that we sent just over a week ago arrived in somerset on the second day of transit in good health.

thanks for the info spencerline, is the somerset one loft the same website they have always had or is it a fdifferent one...?

Hi David, yes they are under the same as last year which is Mistral Marauders, this year we used UK rings as we cannot get the rings until 2 months after the rest of the world here in the Algarve. The clubs never bother to get the rings on time as we do not race YBs here, they mostly breed in June when racing finishes.
No good for one lofts it messed us up last year as we had to ring the second round birds.

Yepee they have arrived they got their at 11 30 Wednesday morning sorry I havnt been on to reply but just got my new computer up and running

glad they arrived safely ginger, hope yours and spencerline`s birds do well this season...

Well I did no Spencer was sending and I thought his dragged mine home last year so hope they do it again

good to hear your birds got there ok Ginger hope they do well for you mate would of been nice if the courier would of contacted to to let ya know what was happening with the birds at least ya know now tho mate all the best in the races mate

I hope they do well as I have sent 4 from the birds I bought in last year and 2 of my own only I want to see what they can do, they have to be tried

Lol Hi Ginger, lets hope one of us wins this year, we have changed some of the pairings around slightly this year but expect great things, time will tell.

good luck to the both of you ginger and kevin
