Introduction Due to running my own business and a busy work schedule I have decided to reduce the amount of stock birds in my loft. I give you the opportunity to purchase some of my best foundation birds that I have kept over the past 40 years. These families consist of: R. Rayner Harrisons Wickham Murray Ray S. Moore K. Saggers (Smeulders Janssen) Over the years I have found by crossing these families of birds together have created birds that can take plenty of hard work and keep coming home in hard conditions. These birds have a strong constitution, they have not picked up any of the viruses that have hit Australia. Due to work commitments I didn t race for a few years. I still bred in those years whilst not racing so I didn t lose the bloodlines. I had no rings during some breeding seasons so I used whatever rings I had. This is why some birds are unrung. The bloodlines will speak for themselves. All the best, Frank Velluto 3 P a g e
References: Reference A: Rain Lover VRPU-03-8818 Blue Checker Hen This hen is a direct granddaughter of Bionic. Rain Lover is the dam of the 2009 Western Cup winner. She is a half-sister to Reference B. Reference B: VRPI-04-7302 Blue Bar Pied Cock This cock is a great grandson to Bionic with Brian Engelsman pigeons that were bred by the Iurato brothers. His dam was VRPU-95-13826 Blue Bar Hen. This Blue Bar Hen was leant to George Vella producing three Fed places over 500 and 600 miles which helped him win the VHA averages that season. These two birds were put together to create some of my very best stock birds I have today. Reference C: VRPU-02-14879 Blue Checker Pied Cock Pure Ricky Rayner bloodline. Grandson of his original 79 cock that produced 22 Fed places for Rick. Reference D: Black Velvet VRPU-05-9097 Black Checker Cock Black Velvet is the grandson of the Dark Hen. Pure Wickham bloodline. This cock has produced two offspring that produced Fed winners for Leigh Wyllie and Anthony Cox. This cock was paired up with one of David Finnerty s Wickham hens. This hen was the daughter of the pigeon he called the Rat which won a 600 mile Fed for him. I consider David Finerty to be one of the best distance fliers in Australia in his time. Reference E: VRPU-05-9089 Black Cock Grandson to Brower Power. Murray Ray bloodline. Brower Power was one of my best producing cocks in the late 80 s and 90 s. He produced four 400 mile Fed winners and two 400 mile national winners. Reference F: VRPU-04-15103 Blue Bar Hen This hen is Harrison bloodline. I ve had the Harrison bloodline in my loft since 1973 and they have proven to be very reliable hard day pigeons. Over the years I have given many fliers these birds who have done well in the distance races. 4 P a g e
