Warren – The bird you shipped me, AU 2006 SFL USA 73 red bar cock with black flecking is superb. He has excellent muscle and is built like a champion. He is one of the finest racing and breeding cocks that I have seen in a while and his confirmation is unparalleled to what I see in most lofts.
Thanks Again

Warren,
Training is going as planned. All SFL banded birds are still going strong. They are looking better as the training continues. From the day they arrived until today they are completely different. Even some of my club members can look in the loft and pick them out. They have only been to my 16 mile toss station so far, but they are returning from the correct direction as I want them. Will keep you informed again when I go over the water for the first time. Mark from Hawaii
Time for another update. I had a friend from another combine come by my loft to look through my loft and give his opinion on my birds. When he got to one bird he said I like this bird a lot. NICE SFL USA where is this from? I told him. He had said he was going to test but didn't call in time for baby's. He got to another bird and said I guarantee if this bird stays in this condition it will be a clock bird and often. Looked at the band SFL again #112. I hope he is correct.
He also commented on there eyes also. I was told Warren sure did not sell me any "barn pigeons". He loved the feel of the SFL USA birds and commented on all of them without looking at bands first. It was nice to get an opinion from another racer, (30 years racing) He is not from my combine. I just know him from my food suppler. No need to lie to me I just wanted honest opinion. And I got it. I am getting anxious for the first race. Also there was another one of MY baby's that had a great eye and good feel to him also, so MY baby is going to give SFL a strong flight to the finish. This person handles many birds and vaccinates for many lofts, so i think he knows what he is talking about. I hope so, his opinion in general is: I have many good birds but also have a few GREAT birds to be looking for coming home early.
