Show Pigeons, Flying birds

[Fred Hencken]

We are putting our birds together for the comming season. A few quality birds are for sale. We have English Short Face Tumblers in solid colors and baldhead. Also Budapest cap tipplers that are medium faced. The Budapest are used by us as feeders and are good flyers. The extra birds are mostly cocks but we do have a few pairs. Many of these birds have won or placed in shows. Fred & Doris Hencken

Julie It was nice to get your message. Are you going to the Orlando show on December 13? If you do bring the birds along so we can find out what they are and get mates for them. Let me know because I havent decided whether to go or not. Regards Fred

Nope, no Orlando show for me. My aviary is nearly full now. I would come home with too many birds. Ha Ha!

Hi Fred,
thanks for getting back to me. I have a buddy
back in N.J. who has the short faces you might know him he shows his birds all over the country his name is Mike Siler I can get some from him but would like to mix some new blood into them I would just get them to raise as a different breed I myself right now have flights (55) and getting some tipplers lovatts or shannons (8) from a guy in Cali.have had birds for over 35 yrs. and
have had every breed at 1 time or another talk to you soon thanks again Robby

[Fred Hencken]

Robby We are in tune. You already know why I am asking questions. I am very familiar with Mike he helped to offshoot the new shortface club. We are kind of loners living in Florida but we came from the same area. My wife and I started Jim Zerbo off in 1978. With the pumpers you have you should be able to do well. We still need to know if you intend to compete or just add a new breed. We get about $100-$150 for birds that can win ashow. For someone just wanting pretty birds $50.00. We have given birds to get people started free or a token price. Our yellow's cant be beat in that class and haven't for the last 5 years. Keep in touch and let me know where you live. Regards Fred

Hi Fred,
Once again thanks for the reply Prices on the birds aren't bad but at this time I really cant afford to buy any birds having a house with a wife and 6 kids in it and 1 income makes it very hard to buy any birds like I said Mike and I go back a long way and anything I need he will give it to me for free so the price can't be beat if you know what I mean
and I would only get them to have another breed thats all I dont get pigeons from other fanciers to show against them just isnt right thanks again yours in the sport robby
