The following birds are available for sale at this time. They are priced so the average person can afford them. So don't pass up some good birds just because they're not priced at several hundred dollars each. If you're at the other end of the financial spectrum, you need to realize that these are pedigreed animals and not street pigeons. The day of the five-or-ten-dollar pigeon is long gone. They are priced so I can receive some reasonable return on the investment I have made in breeding stock, feed, time caring for them, etc.
What is a pigeon really worth? The value of a pigeon depends on three factors, and you can read about them here.
You will find some rare-colored birds among those listed. It is important to remember that we are a FLYING loft, not a COLOR loft. Our rare colors are required to fly right with the other birds. We sell youngsters that we raise out of our flyers, but we will seldom sell the rare-colored flyers themselves because we will be using them later as breeders.
I am selling pigeons, not paper, but almost all of those listed below have extensive pedigrees. I will provide whatever pedigree information I have on each bird listed. Feel free to email me and request an electronic copy of the pedigree of any bird listed here.
PLEASE NOTE: The USPS has recently hit us with a significant increase in postal rates, in some cases almost double what they had been. Therefore, if birds are to be shipped to you (shipping to destinations in the lower 48 continental USA only), the shipping charge (postage plus box) will be as follows: $80 for one or two birds, $120 for 3 birds, and $160 for 4 birds to cover the cost of postage and a special USPS-approved shipping box. Where possible I will try to get specific postage charges for your postal zone and the weight of the shipment. The cost of the box is then added to the actual postage. (4 or more birds means multiple boxes. Multiple boxes are often cheaper than using one of the larger boxes that are available. This is because the post office charges are based on size as well as weight. They charge significantly more for any box that is more than 1 cubic foot, regardless of weight.)
Payment can be made via money order or bank check (I do not accept personal checks). You can use Visa or Mastercard by clicking on the Paypal logo below if you prefer. Paypal "friends and family" is the preferred method of payment.

Special Offer: Tom's 2nd annual young bird sale. As was the case a year ago, I now find myself with far more young birds than I can use. Because of that I am now offering a great deal on young birds that can be settled and trained to your own loft, or set aside to use as breeders in 2027. They will be my choice, mostly blue bars and blue checks, and they will be out ot the same birds I used to raise my current young bird team. All will come with full pedigrees unless one or more of the ancestors did not have pedigree information when I purchased them, and in that case I will still send whatever information I do have available. You will receive four birds for $200 with FREE SHIPPING. This was a very popular offering a year ago and I suspect it will be just as popular this year, so don't wait too long and be left out. |

| 1. | 2025 Dark check cock no. 5531. This is a son of the blue check cock no. 1200 recently sold here. 1200 is HVR combined with the OLR family of the late Paul Anderson (PNA Loft) from Southern California. Dam is primarily the Hollywood family of Ron Deisher from Indiana. Price: $150 plus shipping. |

| 2. | May hatch 2025 blue bar cock no. 5420, carries the gene for barless. Sire is 9436-19, a barless blue that flew 5 races out to 120 miles prior to being moved to the stock loft and also carrying the gene for recessive opal. So there is a 50% chance 5420 will also carrie that opal gene. Dam is a blue check hen I obtained from the dispersal sale of the loft of the late Paul Anderson (PNA Loft of Southern California). Paul was known as a very successful flyer in both local and one loft races. Price: $100 plus shipping. |  |

| 3. | 2022 blue check hen no. 2218. Sire is 1441, a "cherry" (red phase recessive opa) and is a full brother to "Snake River" a 200-mile winner. "Snake River" was a beautiful "white lace" (spread recesssive opal). He was a 1st club from 210 miles as a yearling and the following week was 1st to loft and 4th club from 130 miles. Dam is a daughter of "Snake River" when mated to a Ron Pairan hen who is out of an AU Registered Champion. 2218 was settled and trained as a young bird but then stocked because she carries the recessive opal gene and is suspected to also carry the gene for barless. (Photo does not do her justice; she is not as fat nor as big as she looks in the photo.) Price: $75 plus shipping. |  |
||
| 4. | October hatch yearling blue bar cock no. 5585, carries both5.white and recessive opal. Sire is recessive opal no. 3750 that has flown 8 races out to 200 miles twice with a 5th place on one of the 200's. He is 3/4 Gaby from the loft of David Stephenson (Kastle Loft) of Kentucky. Dam is a pure white that also flew 8 short races. She is primarily long-distance Delbar down from the CBS imports of the early 2000's. This is a large pigeon but not overly large. Price: $100 plus shipping. |

| 5. | Those of you who know me are well aware of my interest and dedication to the breeding of rare colored racing homers. But you should also know of my firm belief that if a pigeon carries the word "Racing" in its name it certainly should be capable of competing in the races along with all the blue bars, blue checks and the other "standard" colors. (This already has been pointed out in the introduction to this page - see note above.) I have had pigeons for 60+ years and have been involved in the racing pigeon hobby for the last 30+ years. During those last 30+ years I have dedicated my efforts to making sure that is the case with the birds I offer the public. So I am offering here a trio of young reduced homers that have been weaned recently and can be settled and trained at your own loft. Or you can set them aside and keep for breeding purposes. Their numbers are 6567, 6570, and 6577 Price: $100 each, or 3 for $200 plus shipping. |  |

| 6. | Here is a "matched set" of two young birds that could make someone two very nice breeders. I suspect they are both hens but cannot guarantee that. They are out of two pair of unrelated birds with both hatched within the last week of April. They have never been outside the loft and could possibly be settled to your own loft if you wish to fly them instead. One is fully pedigreed out of a pair of birds I purchased from the final dispersal sale of the loft of the late Paul Anderson (PNA Loft) of Southern California. The other is out of a cock I raised that is a grandson of an AU Registered Champion from Perfection Loft of Kansas and he is fully pedigreed. That cock was mated to a 2024 ash red pied hen no. 4426, that flew 300 miles in the IF Convention Race of 2024. I have no pedigree on 4426 since she was obtained as a gift from a fellow club member who does not keep pedigree info and who decided he did not need her as a breeder. I considered flying these two young birds myself but my young bird loft was already full. Price: $50 each plus shipping. |  |

| ****DRAGOONS***DRAGOONS**** | ||||
Folks have been asking me for Dragoons for the last three years and it has been difficult for me to accomodate them because my breeding has always been concentrated on my Racing Homers. So I made it a point to push my Dragoons a little harder the last two years so now I finally have a few pair to offer for sale. I don't keep very many so at this time most of what is available will be blacks and whites. I will be posting only a pair or two at a time (when available) because most of what I raised were later in the year and I am not sure of the sex of many. In the meantime, feel free to email me to see if anything is available as I am still sorting things out. |
