So the story goes, if you want the best you have to search for it. It does not drop through your letter box. And if you search well you can find a bargain. or a golden nugget. A nest mate to the Rock going for a bargain.

Very nice looking birds Devo, particularly like the pencil blue. There is certainly plenty going on in those pedigrees even if they are a little hard to read, mainly due to my glasses lol 😂 and of course it all being double Dutch to me me 😕
Is this a bird you are thinking of buying mate ??

Sometimes though, you can just get lucky. Be in the right place at the right time. I was. My big grizzle Thone' cock was one of a pair of eggs I fostered for David. He decided his loft was full and left him here to race. So I gave him lots of tosses but kept him when he paired up and went on eggs.
A year later he is simply magnificent, and has a pedigree to match.
Total cost, nothing. It can happen.
Greetings from the land down under. :D

You are right Muzza, not that I've ever set the sport alight but some of my best pigeons have been gifted to me. Most recently the eggs I was given in 2018 by our late friend Laurie Everett, these were from the Crammond and Langstaff partnership. Of course that's the way it always done in the top Belgium lofts, the top fliers just used to swap pigeons.
Have you got any recent pictures of your Grizzle mate ??

No, he isn't very photogenic.
I see him on the board, in the sun, looking sensational. Gleaming, muscular :D :D :D So I quietly pick up my phone and...he knows :x
He sulks off inside and waits for me to put my hand in his box. I can show you some recent pictures of the backs of my hands? :(
