Team Gurnay – I continue to knock together additional lofts so I can get back to what I consider my “normal.” You all are aware that I was NOT able to save all my birds when the fires swept through the old homestead in Happy Camp, but I grabbed enough of the key birds to keep my different families going. But this is why, for the few who have asked, why I am not in a position to provide YB’s this year. Give me a year to get things back and running, and I’ll be able to help out. A lot of this is a repeat from last month, with the exception of the Futurity information.
GURNAY bands. I have AU and IF bands. They are .75 cents a band, and it will be first come, first served. 2022
GURNAY USA CLUB dues. $20.00 a year.
We are going to re-affiliate formally with the AU. I would like some input on whether we continue affiliation with the IF (due to the low number of flyers actually competing in IF clubs). The current AU GURNAY bands are my personal bands, but I want these going back to being a club band.
2022 GURNAY USA FUTURITY. In order to move this ahead, the GURNAY USA Club had taken Donnie up on his gracious offer to host again. As I mentioned last issue, the Editor has offered to host next years Futurity in Texas – so, we’ll have a couple of upstate NY races and then move the birds down to the hot, relatively flatter landscape of the east Texas piney woods in 2023. This will be a good chance to put the birds under a little different kind of stress. I’ll probably pick it up in 2024 – but you better be breeding a few with webbed feet…this place is WET, WET, WET!! Any questions – call me – 530 598.6245.
RACING PIGEON DIGEST. I am sending in an article to help generate some interest – and hopefully new members. Would really like something from some of you that I can incorporate into future articles. As I said before, if you are flying your Gurnay with your club, I want to to hear about it. I don’t care if they’re topping the winner’s list – the fact that we have Gurnay actively competing is worth sharing. If you know someone who might be interested in joining this club – and getting involved with the Gurnay – please let me know, share this Newsletter, and welcome them to join. The price is small – the rewards are great.

AU or IF Bands - .75 cents apiece. Please include an extra $1.00 for mailing.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
