Welcome to the website of Tony and Lee Painter of Fibbersley Lofts, Willenhall, West Midlands. Through the course of these pages you'll learn a little about ourselves and our birds.. (Please click on any image on the photobook above to see a clearer version of that picture)

Here we go with the first update of 2010......

2010 started on a fantastic note for us with the news that our 2007 West Midlands Region Award winner "Champion Taffy" has gone and won yet another West Midlands Region Award in 2009 for his superb efforts! We're so proud of him and his achievements, and at this point we'd like to thank everybody who has been in touch offering their congratulations.

We are now the proud winners of not only one, not two, but THREE West Midlands Region Awards. We also provide other lofts with excellent pigeons too - as this website will demonstrate. Housed at our lofts we have our 2 Award winners :- "Champion Taffy" in the 0-250 miles category for his efforts in both 2007 and 2009, and the Overall Champion of the West Midlands in the 0-800 miles category, our very own "Willenhall Warrior". Some of our performances include :- 1st Lye Two Bird Cherbourg Gold Ring Race 1st,2nd,3rd Dewdrop Open Swainswick 1st Londonderry One Bird Open Race Cherbourg 1st,2nd and 3rd Redditch HDS Open Race Yeovil 1st,2nd,3rd,5th,6th Wolverhampton Gold Ring Race East Prawle. In addition to this, there are regular good performances in the very strong Wolverhampton Fed (8,000 birds) We have topped the following Federations :- Wolves, Worcester, Dudley, Gloucester, Bromsgrove and Wolves Midweek Federation. We have won many prizes in the Section and Open of the MNFC (Including 1st SW Section) and we've also won 1st section in the MCC, finishing 2 x 2nd Open, 4th Open etc..

In terms of feed, here is what we use and what we recommend. When breeding we use Teurlings UK Breed and Wean Mixture. When Moulting, all birds are fed the Teurlings Moulting feeds. Our Old Birds and Youngsters are raced on Teurlings corn also. The birds seem to thrive on it, and we'd recommend this corn to anyone. We also use a selection of Teurlings products too, to help keep our birds in A1 health and condition. We acquire all our Teurlings feed and products from Black Country Grains (01902 495506)
