FIBBERSLEY LOFTS - THE HOME OF "TAFFY", "WARRIOR" and "VAN PERSIE"


Our main Club is the WILLENHALL LIBERAL which is affiliated to the WOLVERHAMPTON FEDERATION. The "Liberal" is one of the biggest Clubs in this Federation, and there is often over 6,000 birds in the Federation.
Besides this we are also members of the MCC (Previous winners of 2nd Open, 2nd Open, 4th Open etc) and the MNFC (Previous winners of 1st SW Section etc).

Please find below just an example of our performances.

We never enter a big team, and as you can see, we compete against plenty of pigeons to no geographical loft advantage.
