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.

Stainless steel Racing Pigeon
Sputnik "drop cage", (sun porch, or release
pen). This particular type of trapping is one of the most popular. It comes not assembled. It is a great way to settle your young birds, yet keep them protected. Four drop down spots can be closed by hand to protect the birds. When you’re ready to let the birds out you pull the cord to swing open the door. Don’t pay $600 or more for a quality sputnik when we can get you one for a lot less. Dimension roughly 47 x 23 x 25. (Click on each photo to expand.) Made from quality materials. Some assembly required. Nuts and bolts only. Usually takes about 25 mins. Very well made! $299 plus shipping. Email us at 5307wolfe@gmail.com and put "sputnik" in the subject line to request additional informal information.

| 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: $100 | 
|

| 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. |  |

| 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 |  |

| 4. | Coming soon!! Within the next few weeks (maybe sooner) I will start listing some 3-bird young bird flying kits at very attractive prices. There will be two tiers, one for blue bars and checks and another for rare colors. Pedigrees will be supplied where available. | |||
| ****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. |
