Question

I need your honest opinion


Hey all,

I am currently in the process of building my site. It will be for selling my pigeons and for helpful information to anyone who might need it. I will most likely be selling Birmingham Rollers and Texan Pioneers.


I need your advice on a good name. Here is what I want to call it:

-{Cloud Nine Lofts}-


Tell me what you think. If you have any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate them!



Thanks and God Bless,
Pigeonboy

Glad to see another Pigeonboy,,
Are you sure about advertising Texas Pioneers on this site?,, they are bred from a white Utility King and Modena for squabbing,, as in a meat pigeon ya know...
Doesn't hurt my feelings,, but some may not appreciate it as such..

You breed pigeons for meat? Thats terrible! I don't like that at all and had I known I wouldn't have given advice I'm mad now!!!
Pigeons are pets not food!

Don't take this out of context,, I didn't say this young man bred for meat,, but, that is in fact what the Texas Pioneer are originally bred for,, don't get mad at him,,, chill...
Do your research before slamming some one..
Thats all I ask..

After re-reading what I just wrote,, that came out a little harsh,, and I aplogize for that,, but,, that being said,, Texas pigeons are now an Accepted breed in the NPA,, and can be shown as such,, but,, that isn't what they were bred for in the 1st place,, First and foremost,, they were bred for their meat production,, a part of life,,,maybe pigeonboy didn't realize that,, I assumed he did if he did his own research,, and he knew what he was breeding,,and advertising..
Just for the record,, you have to be mighty hungry and down on your luck to have to even think about such a thing,, but I'm here to tell you,, I've been there,, and its not at all fun,, you can be as mad at me as you want,, but,, a man has to eat...
Hopefully.. I won't have to get in that position again...because,, its a last resort,,

I wasn't slamming anyone and I am sure I am not the only one on here that isn't fond of eating pigeons.
I wasn't telling anyone what they should eat(GEORGE) I was saying I don't like the idea of pigeons being dinner. If you want to eat your birds then that is on you and if you feel so strongly about it I don't see why my opinion matters to you. You expressed your opinion and I expressed mine.

I believe Pigeonboy17 wanted input on what to name his loft, so let's get back to that and quit with the comments about what various members may or may not eat.

Thanks!

Terry

I am not raising my Texan Pioneers to eat! Yuck!!! No offense to meat eaters I am just trying to start my own little business. If any of you have any more ideas, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm only 18 and this is all I can sell for now. I got these pigeons for a VERY GOOD DEAL! FOR FREE!!!


Does anybody here think the name Cloud Nine Lofts is weird or doesn't make any sense? Just curious...


I am neither an herbivore or a carnivore, I'm an omnivore. I eat both meat and veggies. ( Just a little inside info)


Thanks again to everyone who posted on this thread. Keep those ideas coming!


Thanks and God Bless,
Pigeonboy17

Well, Cloud Nine sounds good to me (I already commented on your web site thread). Like someone said, if you like the name, that's what really counts.

Just make sure you keep it something you are proud of -- your good name is all you really have in this world and it's so darned easy to tarnish it.

A good reputation is only as good as the next sale (if you're in the selling business). Don't exceed your abilities to take care of your customer because once a good reputation is lost, it's hard to regain it (Okay, end of the "mom" lecture).

Good luck!

PS

My mom would only wear Cloud Nine shoes so Cloud Nine has a good reputation with me

any pigeon could be eaten or be sold for eating but as responsiblity and as pigeon lovers we should ensure that all our pigeon go to good homes who will care for them, for example, i think the utility king is a nice bird and i wish i had them for fostering young.
