This is a sale that is only being held due to the passing of Kevin Murphy at the young age of 49yrs, otherwise this excellent team of pigeons would not be sold, they are a top-class team of racers and breeders. This is an entire clearance sale of the birds from Kevin’s home address and none of those pigeons will be kept. Joe will be selling his stock birds from his own address and I need to point out that there are just a few gift and old birds that Joe will keep as an interest in the sport, these pigeons are housed at Joe’s home where he has bred pigeons for Kevin to successfully race. It might be a bit late in the breeding season to purchase birds but these are quality pigeons and worth going into your stock loft.
