Some goog looking birds on that web site hal I like the English carrier pigeons and also the sattinets

Went to see someone this morning about some van reets and Roland janssens , he had a few white delbars there, had a glance at them but just don't do it for me the pure white, which is odd because I like the grizzles

I agree etc, sometimes us pigeon men (racer types) forget what pleasure can be gained by having some of the fancy type birds as such I suspect. Cheers.

Love the whites myself

I absolutely hate whites etc except in a pie. Cheers.

The problem we have here is that whites are hawk bait, sparrow Hawks and peregrines love em

It/s a no go. He only ships US. There was a guy in Hull used to race whites years ago. Think the birds were Pletinxck or something. White Delbars do not hack it over here. Lots in the US. bad rep.

does anyone think the colour of a pigeon has any bearing on racing ability...?

Ok

Wouldn't think so colours are down to personal choice blues and chequers always been the trend at the end of the day good ones come in all colurs

One could waffle on about this subject etc (colour against colour) I suspect for no gain as such. Good is good & bad is bad I would suggest & the only suggestion I would offer is never fill your lofts totally with white ones, unless your looking for a hiding on race day "wink, wink". Cheers.

The blue white has to prove itself. Not yet raced. The red pied is showing promise. Reasonable time from 250 miles.
Feather foots yet!

Have quite a few feather legged ones. all colours.

Same, same Hal. Embarrassing at times to put them in a race as such, when all the toes are fully covered etc here. Mainly Gits for me going back to the 1975 period, when with a mate I travelled 1000 miles to get them. Cheers.

Long time since I heard of Gits. Had some in the UK.

Thank's Hal etc & one for my favourites section. I see Nhill mentioned there "wheat belt area" & my home town as a wee lad in nappies "wink,wink". Cheers.
