Good Morning Everyone,
We are officially closed. There are only some birds remaining from breeders who prepaid or have spoken to us recently.
Thank you to everyone who has made our first season a success so far. We have crossed the first hurdle.
Good Luck to all.
Just wanted to give everyone update.. We have been put under Hurricane Watch this morning with HURRICANE IDALIA coming this way. With that said I'm going to extend shipping date for another week because I know most breeders ship on Monday and Tuesday and I cant guarentee the post office will be open Wednesday or Thursday this week.
So the new close date will be FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH.
Hope everyone stays safe.

Good Morning,
Jiust wanted to remind everyone this is the last week for shipping birds (we close Sept 1) to our race for this year. We are still taking replacements up to September 15th along with birds that we have been informed of beforehand or have the perch fees paid..
Thank you to everyone who has supported us.
Just wanted to give everyone update..
We are almost at 400 birds with 2 weeks to go for accepting birds. Remember the final date for entries is Sept 1st and replacements is Sept 15th.
Either Becky or myself will be at Tommy Pet Shop in Spring Hill, Fl on Saturday 8/19/23 between 10-10:30AM.
We are still dealing with clock issues but Eric from Benzing and Terry from wincompanion have been working on it with Becky so hopefully it will be solved soon.
Hope everyone has great weekend.
Just Wanted to let everyone know I'll be at Tommy Pet Shop tomorrow between 930-10am
Also we still have 1 month of accepting birds to go.. Closing date is Sept 1.
The birds are looking good and will be let out this weekend.
Hope everyone has a great week.
Hi All,
Quick update reminding everyone that we are accepting birds until September 1st with replacements up to September 15th.
The specials remain the same.. 3 birds plus 1 free perch for $225 and 7 birds plus 3 free perch for $500.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
Happy 4th of July!!!!
This is an update on how things are going this week. The 2nd and 3rd groups of 50 birds are in the loft and have gotten their Salmonella vaccination. All the birds look good so far. The birds that have had issues are back in the respective sections and out of quarantine. I believe within the week the 1st group of birds will have the open loft. Nobody will be chased out at that time.
Now i want to take some time to promote one of our optional races... that being the Color Bird Option. As I type this, I believe we are up to 18 colored birds. I would love to have 50+ colored birds in that race. The cost is only $125 per bird, and is OPTIONAL. I know breeders like to challenge their breeding against fellow competitors who breed for colors, what better place to do that than here?
And just as a reminder, we are accepting birds until September 1st, and replacements until September 15th.
The promotions we have running are:
3 perch fees paid - receive 1 free perch fee: Total: $225 for 4 perches
7 perch fees paid - receive 3 free perch fees: Total: $500 for 10 perches
Hope everyone has a safe 4th of July!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
Happy Father's Day to everyone. We shot past 100 birds this past week and are on the way to 150 quickly.
The plan for the next couple weeks is to give Sal-Bac vaccine to the next 50 group and to start loft flying the first 50 in the loft. They will have an open loft where no one is forced out. There is no need to stress them out so soon. They have been in the loft for over a month now so it's time to start the next step.
Also, the health in general has been really good so far. We have had to quarantine a couple for respiratory issues, but nothing serious yet. We are prepared with nearly a full pharmacy available (pigeon emergency kit such as antbiotics, wormers, vitamins, etc).
Again, Thank you again everyone for your support in our first year!
We will try to get more pictures up on the website of the birds and some of the participants in the very near future.
Good Evening Breeders!!!
Before giving my race update I would like to take the time to say THANK YOU! to all those who have given their lives for our country. Happy Memorial Day.
It is now coming to the end of May and we are over 50 birds in the loft and over 140 birds registered. That's a great start. Thank you to everyone involved in participating and to my wife who has handled the phone calls and road trips for birds.
Since the May offer for $75 perch fee was a success, I have decided to continue it. Also, if you are sending 3 birds, please include another bird, with no perch fee.
As for the health and well being of the birds, they have all been vaccinated for PMV, Salmonella, mite drops, and canker pills They look great and are in the aviary everyday learning the area (at least I hope so).
Hopefully I will have a video of them soon. Again thanks to everyone who is participating and to those who haven't signed up yet, you have plenty of time still.
Thank you,
Sal Mazzurco
