Thanks George , I’m really happy with them mate

[@AndrewKenmare]

Looking fantastic Rich, thanks for the update. Great to hear you relishing the season ahead....all the best, look forward to another great year of videos 👍

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Andrew , really can’t wait if I’m honest mate , hopefully put some of the wrongs right this year 🤞

[@LeginWinn]

Great update I'm a bit late watching but very enjoyable,more videos like this be great.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thank you appreciate that , first race this weekend 👍

[@Oneloftracing]

Thought I would come wish you and your dad a happy Christmas and happy new year hope you have a great season 2024 .

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thank you mate and all the best to you and yours

[@bobbywickes8937]

They look superb. It will be very interesting to see how you get on with Richard's birds. Total result based pigeons. 👍

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Yeah I really am looking forward to trying them Bobby , il try to keep his family as pure as possible to make a fair comparison, my initial hunch is they are sprinters but that’s not to say they won’t get 250 miles as Richard is confident they will , but what I will say is they certainly look the part 🤞

[@bobbywickes8937]

@@alibrospigeons8317 I think you'll find they'll do it. He's had some very fine results in the nationals and although it's not a great distance over the channel to us, it's a very tricky prospect flying the channel into Devon with the prevailing winds and drag up the east. I would say his family of pigeons are more than just sprinters. Very best of luck with them. 👍

[@alibrospigeons8317]

@@bobbywickes8937ah I don’t disagree at all Bobby , his results have been outstanding and I’m really excited to test them against our own family and if all goes well cross them in with our birds . What caught my eye was he’s a performance loft just like us so if they cross together well which isn’t certain but if they do then it’s very exciting. The main reason I thought they were sprinters is there size and they have a big powerful body on them 🤞

[@bobbywickes8937]

@@alibrospigeons8317 absolutely mate, your performance based approach will be very similar to his. It's interesting to see how they go in another part of the country because down here not many can get close. 😂

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks mate

[@Oneloftracing]

Hope everything is going well I have been taking a look from time to time to see if any updates. I have a question for you I looking at a pedigree on a OLR pigeon Nehu09ss171 the pigeon name was dino do you know anything about him . The pigeon if the pedigree is right was a big winner on the road being a SS ring I thought you were the best person to ask.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Dino was a Soderlund and Maddison pigeon , a bit of a legend in the UNC back in the day , I know there still very popular to buy but soda is in a bit of a transitional period at the moment so there not quite doing it these days for John but there is many flyers across the uk still going mad for them lines so with the right cross they can certainly still win races , but as I say Dino your talking 13yrs ago was superstar at that time. Ps I delayed pairing by one week so the video will be up probably this Sunday
