Racing Pigeons for Sale

Prices do not include shipping charges unless stated

See below a list of birds FOR SALE! Page updated 2/7/13

Note: Over all we do not lose many birds so we must sell them as we have no room for them all.   This family of birds I have developed
give it their all and try hard to get home. They don't give up and they can stay in the air all day long. This is why they are good on long
hard and bad weather races and over the water races. These are the kind of birds you need to win average speed because you have to
have birds left to race at the end of the season.    These birds are racing homers that "don't quit"!

It took me about 40 years to develop this quality so do not waste the time, start with some really good birds NOW.

The one thing none of us has to spare is TIME (life is too short) so don't waste it trying to breed really good birds, get some
NOW and start breeding them right away! Believe me it still takes TIME to build a good competitive team but it is worth the fun you have THEN.

You need to obtain proven performance birds to breed from. Remember, the key is in the performance of the bird and NOT eye sign, NOT fancy strain
names, NOT in the drugs you give them, NOT what some fellow in Europe did years ago, and NOT because you paid 5,000.00 for a pair of breeders.   Find birds
with time tested performance at the distance with many winners/breeders of winners in their pedigree.
THEN you have the GENES to create MORE very good race birds!

The Goldstar birds are a proven family of performance racing pigeons!
YOU will win with these birds and breed winners from them and be one of the few in the world with the "Goldstar" blood.

Everyone who has purchased our Goldstar birds has been extremely happy with the results. (see the testimonials on the Contact Us page). They have won many races and
average speeds for lofts in all areas of the US. Over and over again they are put against top birds from all over the US (fellows that buy kits from us as well as else where)
and the Goldstars end up out performing them all!
We guarantee you will be pleased with every bird or they will be replaced (within the first 30 days) at no cost other than shipping. (bird or band may be required to be returned)

Shipping fees for birds are as follows:
(within continental US) new costs as of 9/2011
Note: I always fully insure the birds plus postal rates have went up recently.
Shipping for 1 to 3 young birds or 1 to 2 old birds 60.00
Shipping for 4 to 6 young birds or 3 to 4 old birds 80.00
We have and can ship to Taiwan and Hawaii and other countries (maybe) through special exporters. We should be able to ship to PR as well but these
places cost extra due to health papers and distance.) Fees will have to be quoted from the exporter and are over and above the cost to ship the birds to
him. It is very expensive to ship a small amount of birds (say 1 to 4 or so). Usually less (per bird) when 6 to 12 or more birds are shipped. You may want
to get with a friend(s) and order more birds to cut the price per bird.

Note: we reserve the right to refuse to sell to certain people and or locales. *If you buy young bird kits to race we will not sell YB kits to anyone else in your club
or combine. The same with breeders if you purchase more than a couple pairs. *You must be a good customer and preferably have the desire to develop and
maintain the "Goldstar" strain. You will be unique by being the only fellow in your area with this strain. (and you will WIN with them!)

Quality Guaranteed!
We are not here to sell poor quality birds and or to peddle birds for the sole purpose of making money.   Our purpose to breed a better long distance
racing pigeon and to help fellow fanciers compete with and develop their own line of Goldstar birds, this is our goal. With young birds it is possible to get
a bird once in a while that does not thrive and develop into a nice racing homer type bird.   If this happens to one of the birds you got from us please let
me know and I will replace it with another FREE of charge.   With old birds you will know within days if not minutes that the bird is of good quality.   With
old birds we are taking a chance with every mating that they will click and raise winners for us. Sometimes it takes years before we realize they are not
doing what we want out of them.   Most all our old birds have pedigrees with many 600-mile winners in them so they should carry the blood to develop
MORE distance winners.

With 30-day old young birds they can change as they develop. I understand it can take a month or two or more to see that a bird is not going to turn out
so well.   Please let me know if you get a young bird in your kit that does not thrive and appear to be a bird that will compete (or breed) due to its body
etc. I will replace this bird with another young bird the next year when you buy another kit.   I may ask you to send the band back to me should this
happen.   Information about the birds helps me with my breeding program so I can determine whether the mating is good or a bad one.
Losing birds does not constitute replacement birds. Birds can be lost due to wires, hawks, theft, etc. Losing birds can be due to unseen illnesses, poor
handling, disastrous training or races etc.   The Goldstars here simply do not get lost (at least VERY few do here).   They are distance birds so they may
be considered slow maturing birds. However, they do win 300 and 400-mile Concourse races as young birds!!!!!!!

Again if you feel one of the young birds you received in a kit is not of the quality you expected let me know and with your next order I will give you a free
bird or discount for a free bird or give you a credit or discount off of a breeder. Note: With any free replacement birds you must pay for the shipping to
get the bird to you.   I don't mind giving you another bird for replacement but you must cover the shipping expenses.

Breeders for sale! (SOLD!)
Meet "Star Fire" BC Splash Cock AU 2012 STAR 5266

This young cock turned out to be a VERY nice handling beautiful cock bird. When younger we thought he was a hen as his BC brother was definitely a cock bird. As it turns out they are twin
brothers (rather than one of each as in a normal nest). You may or may not know this fact but I find when you get twins of the same sex in a nest THEN one, but usually both birds will be
exceptional pigeons. Usually at least one is a great racer and one is a great breeder and or they can BOTH be great at either ability. I have experienced this MANY times over the years and
usually NEVER sell either of the twins of the same sex. However, I have already sold his brother and still have too many cocks so will let this beauty go.

As you can see by the pedigree he is line bred from some of the best birds I have ever had. His pedigree includes the 3 Super Visser Aardens plus old line distance winners PLUS the famous
"Paul" bird line. Some feats are as follows:

On Fathers side = Grandfather #0082 'Paul" 1st Combine 500 plus winner of many other races/diplomas. He also bred a 600-mile day bird Combine winner not to mention many more
race/diploma winners over the years. Grandmother is #2011 who was 1st Combine 600-miles on the day and the ONLY day-bird in the entire Combine (and there are 35 lofts short of us).
She also won other race diplomas and bred a 600-mile day bird who was beaten by only one other loft 20-miles shorter than us.

On Mothers side = The great Grandfather is 0919 who was 1st Combine 600-miles, a great racer and breeder down from old line local long distance birds from this area bred together for many
years to develop these strong genes. His mate and Great Grandmother of 5266 was 9004. She was 1st Combine 600-miles VERY early the 2nd day. She is directly out of two of the pure Visser
Aardens #7 & #5 (see ped). Also, one of the best local foundation hens of this area, #2839, is the great grandmother on the mothers side.

Summary: There are at least THREE 600-mile Combine winners in this birds pedigree plus birds that have bred other race winners from ALL distances. These are not birds that just win long
races but birds that seldom ever get lost and can win at any distance. PLUS, most are of show quality!
You will love "Star Fire" #5266! (I usually don't name them but as I was handling him it just came to me so there it is).

The price on this bird AU 2012 STAR 5266 is 300.00 plus 60.00 shipping. (Previous customers I will pay the 60.00 shipping for you!)

You will love these beauties and you will produce excellent birds from them. This could be the foundation of your own special Goldstar
family of birds. Have something different no one else has in your area. As an on-going Goldstar customer I will not sell to any other loft in
your area. If you want to have the similar success I have had you need a good foundation of these birds so as to create as many mating
scenarios as possible incorporating the many winners in each race birds pedigree. (there are several 600-mile winners in each birds
pedigrees) You will have fun studying the pedigrees and trying special matings out.

To pay immediately to get an order out ASAP simply send the funds by Money Gram (at Walmart & other places)! Also, we now accept Pay-Pal
payments but you need to add 10.00 for this service! This takes about 3 days and you need my Paypal account info (just ask).

From the Racing Pigeon Digest interview with Randall Berky (Oct 15, 2010) Randall says "Acquire birds that have many
ancestors on the pedigrees that are either winners or breeders of winners - preferably both qualities in each ancestor, because
that means you have a strong family of birds."
These Goldstars have this kind of pedigree, full of winners and breeders of winners!

I have very few birds left to sell as of this date. These are extra breeders and or extra race team birds. Due to illness I must cut back on birds.

I do not sell birds locally which includes the southern half of Illinois and the northern half of Missouri.
Also, buyers must be AU, IF, CU, or FMC members.

Young bird kits: (there will be less kits offered the spring of 2013 as I have less breeders now so first come
{deposit} first in line to get a kit.) Deposits have started to come in so don't wait much longer!!!!!!!!!
Kits of 6 or 3 will be available in the spring and are 500.00 (a six bird kit) plus shipping of 80.00 (includes new box, fully insured and
postage within the 48 states) Three bird kits are 360.00 including shipping etc.

I do not keep or raise many birds and a couple kits have been sold already. If you want a kit contact me immediately and send a deposit
to lock in a kit. At this time I will only have April hatches I can ship in May.

These birds will be about 30-days old and you will get full pedigrees on them. They will all be down from some of my thirteen 600-mile
winners and or their close relatives. They will be suitable for breeding from and or racing in competition. You will be more than pleased
with these birds!

SOLD!
