Some may call this an old style "Canadian" looking tippler from days gone
by, Stan and others know what I am talking about. This is a late bred and
has done 10hr work outs may fly her as an old bird this spring.
This bird is in my loft. I call him "the Wild One" because he has always
been after my hand when I try to touch him. He does not escape, he fights
for his place and defends it - a trait that I like in tipplers. He is one
of the descendants of Mustafa's "Old Boden" so he went straight to the
breeding compartment. His youngsters are sieved.
The late Frank Cochrane had a lot of Sam Laurie's birds. He got the pick of
the breeders when Sam died. I believe that Eddie Robinson , Henry Hunt ,
Yawney Adams all had Sam Laurie's birds. Yawney had nothing but Sam's birds.
They were on the large side. Sam Laurie and another fancier imported birds
into Canada back in the late 1920's or early thirty's.
