Little bit about us below why we’re reducing, If interested, if not, thanks for looking. 

Selling due to still needing to reduce numbers down. due to my fathers health. 

Most the pigeons bloodline have helped us achieve in the last 5 years, 47 × 1st Federations and 8 × 1st open Combines, if you add club firsts also then be nearly close to 200 1st with adding Clubs, Federations, Amalgamations and Combines.

So like I've mentioned we’re having to reduce numbers, with it getting harder and too much for my father each year, with his dementia and other health issues, but also myself, losing some interest in pigeon racing, with my father not being like he was with the pigeons, so we need to reduce our stock gradually, to make it more enjoyable and manageable for ourselves. Over my father 70 plus years racing pigeons, he’s won combines in the London North Road Combine & North Thames North Road Combine, all together he’s won 14 open combines, could say 16 with two yearling combines, also he’s won the Tommy Long Trophy 3 times on the trot, in the London North Road Combine, for best average over 3 longest races in combine, and recognised with London RPRA awards, also he’s achieved over hundreds and hundreds of 1st clubs & Federations in that time. So success didn’t just happen, it happened over generations of continuous top performances, don’t think my father has ever gone a year without some success. All pigeons we’re selling have helped us achieve or have built a winning family, they all have been fantastic for us, but we just need to reduce our stock down, and they deserve to be bred from, hopefully I’m sure whoever is lucky enough to win the bids, you can build from them.

Thank you for reading if you got this far and good luck
