Yes I sure do like his badges, they are very well structured, and just the size I like...a good medium in size and well balanced (proportioned) bodies.
He also have some good looking ash red in solid and in badges, all great looking/ handling, but more than likely, as proven by you, good in the air also. And Steve and his Mrs. Are just great people made Harry and I most welcome to their home.

The stock birds are placed in separate rooms throughout the winter months
cocks in one room and hens in another so they can't see each other to pair
off with each other. They are rested to fully moult out before being placed
together for pairing around mid February.
In order to improve one's pigeons of a particular breed, one must
selectively breed pigeons of the same breed. Via culling and careful
selection one may improve the breed with improvement of the desired
characteristics that one is breeding for. This is done by line-breeding and
in-breeding birds belonging to the same breed. This is not done by crossing
distinct and separate breeds. Take any photo of Mehdi's recent post and
cross any two birds from those different breeds and one would definitely end
up with a pigeon but that is all.
