Thank you appreciate that , first race this weekend 👍

Thanks Andrew , really can’t wait if I’m honest mate , hopefully put some of the wrongs right this year 🤞

Thank you David , much appreciated mate

Thank you

Thank you mate and all the best to you and yours

Thanks Dave I hope your well mate

Thanks George , I’m really happy with them mate

It certainly will Dave , the birds seem fantastic and just can’t wait to get going mate 👍

Thank you Howard , they have moulted through perfectly and there is some interesting birds to cross in to our family for next year , as u say a real headache but always exciting picking the pairs 👍

Thanks rob 👍

Thanks David it’s hard by myself trying to make them mate

Thanks Stephen mate , my little 16ft stock loft , the wife thought it was a summer house till the boxes went in 🤣

Yeah I really am looking forward to trying them Bobby , il try to keep his family as pure as possible to make a fair comparison, my initial hunch is they are sprinters but that’s not to say they won’t get 250 miles as Richard is confident they will , but what I will say is they certainly look the part 🤞

@@alibrospigeons8317 I think you'll find they'll do it. He's had some very fine results in the nationals and although it's not a great distance over the channel to us, it's a very tricky prospect flying the channel into Devon with the prevailing winds and drag up the east. I would say his family of pigeons are more than just sprinters. Very best of luck with them. 👍

@@bobbywickes8937ah I don’t disagree at all Bobby , his results have been outstanding and I’m really excited to test them against our own family and if all goes well cross them in with our birds . What caught my eye was he’s a performance loft just like us so if they cross together well which isn’t certain but if they do then it’s very exciting. The main reason I thought they were sprinters is there size and they have a big powerful body on them 🤞

@@alibrospigeons8317 absolutely mate, your performance based approach will be very similar to his. It's interesting to see how they go in another part of the country because down here not many can get close. 😂

@@bobbywickes8937 yeah I noticed 🤣

Thanks Trev 👍

Thank you mate , can’t wait to be honest 👍

Thanks Paul 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks mate

Dino was a Soderlund and Maddison pigeon , a bit of a legend in the UNC back in the day , I know there still very popular to buy but soda is in a bit of a transitional period at the moment so there not quite doing it these days for John but there is many flyers across the uk still going mad for them lines so with the right cross they can certainly still win races , but as I say Dino your talking 13yrs ago was superstar at that time. Ps I delayed pairing by one week so the video will be up probably this Sunday

@@alibrospigeons8317 Thanks for the reply looking forward to seeing the video everything when the time is right . Good luck .

Just showed you on the video mate

@@alibrospigeons8317 yes you did thanks mate

Well some has certainly gone mate , but it’s still there with the majority I hope 🤞

​@@alibrospigeons8317loved it back in the day mate.letting the pigeons out putting the flags out scraping out then poping into to my neighbour's cabin for a cuppa👍 no i was just miffed why my comment was the only one you never replied to for whatever reason?

⁠you know something mate I did reply but I must not have pressed send . So my apologies for that , I remember as a kid going to rod adams allotment every Sunday there must have been 10 lads there every week just chatting and having a laugh , unfortunately them days have long gone and with most things it’s money changes people and jealousy unfortunately mate

​@@alibrospigeons8317happy days mate just got to let it go over your head & let the pigeons do the talking 👍
