The young lad i took to buy some birds, he was talking to a mate of his from Manchester. He told scott he had bought a bird, and sent him the pedigree. It turned out to be one of my pedigrees, Scott told his mate, that he had been with me today.

@devo certainly a small world lol

I had one a few months ago we brought in a hen and from the pedigree I realised I banded a lot of the birds on it in years previously at premier stud from better than bolt a great bird that doesn't quite get the respect it deserves these days but it took me back seeing it

When I started @devo yes we was fully contracted to pipa we had the best collection of Leo hereman on the planet and once his end sale happened and we held the best of bolt it went crazy and running 7 satellite lofts around us also and our own team, but unfortunately the owners didn't see Dereks vision and that was costly everything that broke the partnership with the owners that they disagreed on he was proven correct we we had 7 daughters of gladiator from geerincx at the end we had the very best of Albert derwa kruger back then such a shame what we had to leave I believe that next year was going to be unbelievable

That does sound a very busy place Danny, some great birds must have past through there.

@devo over 400 direct hereman birds from the best! I'd never seen or felt a bad pigeon till I visited a normal fancier and everything felt off big education! Like I've said before my way into pigeons was strictly a job and I've had a hell of a education through that to what became a love later, but I started working on rolls Royce so all I've ever known is quality really before learning no I've been very lucky to work with the best and not quite understood how much better they actually was than the other 99 percent better than bolt was a great achievement but we had so many

You must have some great memories Danny, working with bird like these. A dream of a job.
