WEST MIDLAND WINGS – RESULTS 29/06/19 – by Sarah Carter
Hello everyone, hope you’ve been enjoying the sun and warmth … it’s a nice change to the rain we seemed to have around for weeks , it’s also a great opportunity to start getting some training in with the ybs, I wish you all the very best of luck with them as there only babies still and have to endure a lot in such a short space of time to get them ready for the upcoming young bird races, if it’s not the hawks attacking them it’s the pylons and wires that they so often get to close to, aswell as hitting other young birds that may going the opposite way, so keep smiling and think positive with them, any way to the results.

We would like to congratulate one of our fellow club mates, S McDonough on being 3rd section 3rd open MNFC the race was from Nort-sue-Erdre 29/06/19 and 347 members sent 2899 birds, Shaun tells me she is a 2yr old blue hen, and a previous winner of 2nd, 3rd and 4th, this hen has also been 3rd club, 3rd fed beat by loft mates on many times. This fantastic pigeon has also been 7th section 80th open MNFC from Carentan as a yearling when 328 members sent 5481 birds, that day Shaun had a great race taking 3, 4, 5 & 7 section from 645 birds.
Her dam is from his own family of pigeons so she is related to pigeons which have previously won 1st & 2nd open MNFC x a Van Den Bulck cock who won 5x1st’s including 1st fed.
Well done Shaun!
But before I sign off, back in early April Jay Phillips contacted my husband and asked Excelsior Pigeon if we could donate a young bird for the charity sale that was held ‘In the loft pigeon sales’ on Facebook , we managed to put 2 birds in , and what a lovely thing to do for all concerned.. The fundraiser was for a poorly little girl called Audrina who is 4 years old and was diagnosed with high risk neuroblastoma (a rare childhood cancer) in July 2018,
Since then she has spent her birthday in hospital has endured 4 surgical procedures, 5 rounds of chemotherapy and a stem cell harvest., well Jay and the team managed to contact many top breeders and flyers for donations across the UK and as always the pigeon people came together to try and help this little girl, thanks also to T & A Transport, I believe they shipped the highest winning bird free of charge, aswell of offering a discount for anyone using their services,
The monies, made from the sale would help towards her treatment that she needs in America, and at the close of the auction the sale had raised £1810, well done to all the donations, buyers and sellers and to Jay and the people behind the scenes in making this happen.
Well that’s it for now, good luck with your racing this weekend lads.
Don’t forget guys, all the results and loft reports will also be available to read within the blog section of the new upgraded website at archive.excelsiorpigeon.com, and don’t forget any loft reports that I do will receive a framed photograph of their favourite bird.
