I was able to locate a gentleman selling pigeons for my own purposes. I only need about 2 dozen, and he has 5-6 dozen he is looking to sell at $6/7 per bird. Big pigeons, based on his description.![]()

If you know anyone looking for pigeons let me know, or if you want to pass this along to the guild please do. I’d be glad to (a) get some for anyone who wants them, and hold on to them for a month or so where they can come to Creedmoor and get them or (b) put you in contact with the seller. He’s in Pinehurst, NC area. I’m planning to pick them up next week so I would need to now relatively soon if they want me to secure additional birds for someone else. ![]()

Call for help/support from Nevada falconers:![]()

Nevada needs your help! After 25 years we finally have a senator that proposed a bill to allow eagle falconry in Nevada. It's meeting some opposition (from people who wrongly think we're trying to take eagles out of the wild in Nevada). Please use the attached link to offer your vote of support and comment on Senate Bill 125 (SB125). If you are an individual, please vote and comment here: www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/81st2021/ If you are a leader or official spokesperson of a falconry club, we would greatly appreciate it if you would write a letter of support and email it to roberta.kokx@sen.state.nv.us. ![]()

We want to host eagle falconry meets in Nevada, but licensed eagle falconers from other states can't even come here now!![]()
Eagles are only acquired in USFWS-appointed depredation zones (mostly in Wyoming). They aren't trapped from the wild anywhere else!![]()

Falconry is thousands of years old and recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.![]()
