christian71 3,187 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just read this off pigeon chat Devastating News, Channel Islands Birds by Mitieman » Thu May 10, 2012 6:35 pm The Channel Islands guys (7 sending 50 birds), had shipped their birds to the UK last nights ferry (as they have done for many years), for collection this morning to be taken to the BBC marking station to compete in this weeks BBC Messac National. It is my sad duty to inform you, that overnight a fox got into them and caused devastation, i have just taken a call from Glen Moon to inform me of the happenings and during the conversation he told me his 2009 Poitiers National winner is dead, as well as numerous top top birds from himself and the other lads I felt sick when i heard this news at the marking station, and after to speaking with Glen words cannot describe......(if this happened to me i would be in tears). MY HEART GOES OUT TO THESE LADS, these birds are irreplaceable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
