BILL HILDER RIVERSTONE PIGEON CLUB INC. COMPLETE SALE. 27th OF OCTOBER 2013.. St. MARYS PIGEON CLUB BURTON STREET WERRINGTON
I finally bit the bullet and decided that enough is enough. I cannot care for and prepare my birds in the manner I consider they require owing to failing health. I feel certain that buyers of the birds will, if they are given the attention they deserve, repay their outlay. There are around 25 pair of stock birds comprising my main family which are Van Loons that I was fortunate enough to obtain from John Swan from the South Coast Federation. These Van Loons are down from “The Eggs” from Western Australia, from Planet Bros. John also invested in Van Loons from Oak Haven Farms in the USA and these are represented throughout the family. Also a small number of Busschaerts from the same source. My remaining distance stock comprises the Goodgers from Ross Hocking with a couple of crosses and that superb long distance family of David Leaders. The Leaders birds have not been tested myself from any distance owing to my health and flying constriction with the Federation. There are also a few Krauth super distance pigeons obtained from the late Arthur Westwood.. Two I bought home out of the nest which were too big to ring as Arthur was in Hospital at the time of ringing. The Ince pigeons are represented by a couple from Tony McPherson and Dave Richmond. I have only included 1st and 2nd placings in most of the results apart from Fed. It is unfortunate that a few of the birds come without pedigrees but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. I wouldn’t have anything in the box that wasn’t worthwhile having. Included in the sale are accessories….6 CCF club baskets in excellent condition. 12 1.5ltr Pyrex drinkers, 2 x 6 bird and 3 x 4 bird carry cages (made in Adelaide…everyone has at least one) THE ACTIONEER WILL BE STEVE BOND THE SILVER TONGUED SALESMAN.
