I think most of our frozen one's still do , but are they losing the taste for pigeons ? , or is the supply greater than the demand ?? if the supply is greater than demand ...that would tie in with what motty says as to the growing health of the pigeon population..(not excactly his words)....but he has always eluded to a growing stable population.......

Meg is 11 now, she does her own thing, she was allowed to retrieve one or two. It was to nice a day to leave her at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kippylawkid Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Great report. Really disappointing that you struggle to pass on the birds to dealers. The price offered by dealers in Northumberland is 25/30p per bird. This has been the price since I started shooting 30 years ago and is definitely not enough. it will be interesting to see if Brexit affects pigeon movement and prices.
