About ...BUD'S LOFT
BARBARA AND I HAVE BEEN FLYING PIGEONS SINCE 1978 WHEN WE WERE IN TAMPA FLORIDA. WE CONNECTED WITH THE THEN PRESIDENT OF THE TAMPA BAY CONCOURSE, HUGH McKINNIS. HUGH WAS VERY HELPFUL IN GETTING US STARTED AND SOME OF OUR MOST SUCESSFUL YEARS WAS WITH BIRDS FROM HUGH. WHEN WE CAME BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA WE RECEIVED BIRDS FROM COL. GRANTHAM BY WAY OF THE LATE LOU McELROY AND WITH THE FABRYS AND GURNEYS OF LOU'S WE MADE A DENT IN PIGEON FLYING IN THE RALEIGH AREA. BARBARA AND I FEEL LIKE THE PIGEONS HAVE GIVEN US A REFUGE FROM THE HUSSLE AND BUSSLE OF EVERYDAY LIFE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY AMBITION TO GIVE NEW PIGEON FLYERS THE BENEFIT OF WHAT HAD MADE ME SUCESSFUL. IT IS STILL MY AMBITION TO GET NEW FLYERS THE VERY BEST PIGEONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. I'VE LEARNED ONE THING IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, "I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE FORMULA FOR SUCESS BUT CAN GIVE YOU THE FORMULA FOR FAILURE, AND THAT IS: TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE"
The Pigeons ...MULEMAN, VAN REET, AND BEAVERDAM JA
I LEFT PIGEONS BECAUSE OF HEALTH AND RETURNED IN 2000 WHERE I WON THE FIRST A AND B RACE OF THE COMBINE OLD BIRDS IN 2000. THE BIRDS WERE MULEMANS WHICH WERE OBTAINED FROM CARL PATTON IN THE FAYETTEVILLE CLUB, NC. 615 IF 00 SLIC BB COCK (MULEMAN) WON THE LONG SECTION 500 MILE IN 2003. I OBTAINED THE SIRE AU 97 CBS 2718 BB AND ANOTHER SON IF 03 FAY 4450 BB AND PLACED THESE BIRDS WITH A PARTNER OF MINE VINNY MORESCHI. THESE BIRDS HAVE BEEN IN THE BREEDING PROCESS AND WE WILL UNLEASH A WHOLE PROGENY OF THE BIRDS IN THE COMBINE THIS YOUNG BIRD SEASON.
THE SECOND FAMILY OF BIRDS BUT PROVEN WINNERS ARE VAN REETS THAT BEGAN WITH BIRDS FROM RED ROSE LOFT, AU 03 REDROSE 1607 BB SPL HEN DAUGHTER OF FOO FIGHTER (JERRY YATES). THE REST OF THE TEAM IS A COCK PURCHASED FROM PAUL WALSH BELG.01 6523674 MLY SPLASH GRANDSON TO FAVORIE. WHICH BRED THE WINNER OF THE BUCKEYE CHALLENGE RACE (DUSTIN BAKER)CONTRIBUTING BIRDS CAME FROM McLAUGHLIN LOFTS(STAFF VAN REETS)BY WAY OF JOE MIHANS IN RALEIGH, NC AND BIRDS FROM THE LATE BUD HOLSINGER OF DePONDEROSA LOFT (BEAVERDAM). I HAVE BEEN BLESSED OVER THE YEARS FROM FLYERS THAT PROVIDED THEIR VERY BEST, EITHER BY GIFT OR PURCHASE.
AWARDS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE MARK OF SUCCESS
AS MOST ACTIVE PIGEON FLYERS WILL TELL YOU IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT WINNING. NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, THERE WAS A TIME THAT 2ND PLACE WAS NOT IN MY VOCABULARY. BUT AS I HAVE SEASONED, A WIN IS GOOD BUT I WANT TO SEE OTHERS DO WELL. THIS IS GOOD FOR THE SPORT. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE HAD CONPETITION FROM MEMBERS LIKE THE LATE EARL McCRAW AND MORE RECENTLY DARRYL GLOVER AND DON SQUIRES. THEY ARE TOUGH FLYERS AND YOU HAVE TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING IF YOU ARE GOING TO BEST THEM. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE FLOWN IN 3 COMBINES THAT AVERAGED 50 TO 70 FLYERS BUT WE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT NATIONAL AWARDS. WE WERE CONTENT TO COMPETE ON THE LOCAL LEVEL AND A AVERAGE SPEED AWARD WAS SOMETHING TO REVERE.
Birds For Sale ...
AT THE PRESENT WE DO NOT SELL BREEDERS BUT WE WILL LET A FEW YOUNG BIRDS GO TOWARD THE END OF MAY. VINNY AND I HAVE BEEN BREEDING WHAT WE CALL OUR BLUE BIRDS (MULEMANS) FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS NOW AND FEEL THAT WE HAVE THE BEST OF THE BEST AND HOPE TO PROVE IT OUT THIS YEAR. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE WINNING WITH OUR VAN REETS AS WELL! WATCH OUR RACE RESULTS!
General Tips ...
IF YOU WANT TO WIN THEN DO WHAT THE WINNERS DO. THIS IS ABOUT AS SOUND ADVICE THAT CAN BE GIVEN. GOOD BIRDS, GOOD TRAINING, AND A GOOD HEALTH PROGRAM. YOU CAN TRAIN 6 DAYS A WEEK BUT IF YOU'VE STARTED WITH SECONDS THEN YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO WIN. IF YOU'RE PLACING UP TOP BUT JUST CAN'T WIN THEN MAYBE YOUR BIRDS ARE NOT AS HEALTHY. THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD IS TO KNOCK THE FLYER THAT IS ALWAYS WINNING. GO SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND THEN TRY AND DO IT BETTER.
I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE FORMULA FOR SUCCESS BUT I HAVE THE FORMULA FOR FAILURE "TRY AND PLEASE EVERYBODY"
"HELP A BEGINNER"
