Description

I have a bird bred by Alwyn Hill of Ilkeston. Anyone who knows about Alwyn would know he was not worried about the price of a bird if he wanted it he would buy it most times at any cost. This hen was purchased at the entire clearance sales when Alwyn sadly died.

She has left some very good birds in my loft and I have timed them in from the national races sometimes my 1st bird.

I am Michael John Burden who has been interested in 680 miles the most but will try to compete at the shorter races too. I have only been interested in pigeons that can fly Barcelona uninterested in middle distance to short type racing birds.

I was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago and gave most of my main stock birds to a ‘good’ friend in Bakewell. I thought I was dying so I reduced my team because my wife does not understand or take any interest in the birds. David thought he knew best and killed most of my stock birds because he thought their eye sign was not very good despite their breeding being second to none all being sons or daughters or full brothers or sister to two certificate of merit winners for Steve Redfern of Derby, a great friend even to this day.

This set me back once my health improved and I realised I was not going to die. Odd really but the human mind can be complex at times. So in order to regain my position in the distance races I have over compensated buying quite a number of birds from Alwyn Hill, (Wing Down fame) Eric Higginbottom a great flyer at Tarbes with All Alone Fame. also Andrew Holland Brian Denney bloodlines and a team of birds from Terry Lowndes of Ashbourne, a Tarbes specialist. I have purchased birds to the extreme to try to find the very good birds. The trouble is I have found having too many at stock impedes your ability to find the breeders etc. The following birds are now up for sale not because they are not good but because I can not realise their full potential. In 2026 I was 11th open NFC Saintes with a yearling cock of the Golden Barcelona lines, the 1st bird over 500 miles. These are great lines which should be in every distance fancier loft.

At Tarbes 2026 i had 3 in the section which was a very hard race. These stock birds I am selling are responsible for my successful season this year.

Don't be put off by the low starting bid I want a good sale but want the gone to reduce my work load and corn bill but mainly to re house the birds.

Frank Zwiers cross hen

I have tried not to loose my cool but I have to try to reduce my team of stock birds down to normal numbers. My corn bill during the start of the season was at times £100 per week and I still had to pay for the racing so this is not sustainable in the long term. I really like this hen she is a beautiful hen on the eye and it is a regret to me to sell her but needs must.She was purchased from Alwyn Hills entire clearance sales and I have only taken 7 ybs off her in all that time. This year two y...

Grizzle hen bred by Alwyn Hill.

I have this grizzle hen I purchased from the entire clearance sales of Alwyn Hill. Unfortunately she came with no breeding record at all which was advertised as such when I purchased her. Alwyn was only interested in extreme distance racing. I knew Alwyn and a little of his breeding methods so knew he would not have kept this hen without good reason hence I purchased her. Again very little breeding done here but I have a son who has survived this years very hard yb racing and is going to the NF...

Cock bred by Eric Higginbottom from a 1/2 brother All Alone x Full sister All Alone

A cock I purchased at Eric Higginbottom's clearance sale. His sire is a half brother to All Alone and his dam is a full sister to All Alone. I spoke with Eric before the sale who informed me he believed the sister who he named Sister All Alone was a better pigeon at racing than All Alone herself. But hawk injury put a stop to that. All Alone was 3rd open TARBES 694 MILES about 160 miles further than the two that beat it. It was a red hot scorching day so All Alone was a fantastic bird to keep go...
