Why Bid on Zephyr?
Birds that win three separate years and immediately breed 500-mile Combine stars are incredibly rare. Zephyr represents a ready-made, gold-mine stock cock capable of upgrading any modern racing loft.
He's been relisted due to a mistake with the pedigree and description ring number, due to when making the pedigree I selected and typed the similar ring number wrong, my mistake for not making sure and double checking it was correct before uploading.
ALL CORRECT NOW
Sale is for reducing stock, with having too many and still needing to cut down with my fathers health and gradually reducing all birds over the next few years, with pigeon racing isn’t the same anymore, especially with my fathers dementia its getting more difficult and the passion racing the birds for my father is fading, with him not being the same with the pigeons due to his memory slowly fading. All bird’s are in top condition and whoever purchases will not be disappointed. Obviously some are moulting which is understandable with the time of year. Some pictures may been taken before they started moulting. But winning bidder will be satisfied with their purchase.
