If you are new to the game and want something that will keep you interested and very pleased with your choice,You should talk to Tony of this site and let him set you up with 6 to 8 young for pairing at a later date.JDA

The one you make and works well for you.
Billings, Borges, Jacs, Mason, Starley, Ruby, are all the results of a lot of work, and many years, all have competed, and in one loft or another have won compition fly's, and provide hours of enjoyment.
The best are the ones that you develop, that have what you want (ie, fast, smooth, color variations,etc)and that keep interested in the hobby/sport, and bring you enjoyment.

Thibodeaux family is the best kit of birds I have ever seen fly. Bill Roy's family is excellent. Jim Bowen has a nice family. Sal Ortiz family are very good. Jerry Holder has a good family. Bowen, Holder, and Roy has some deep birds. Spike Gilmore birds are worthy. There are others, but these are the ones that quickly come into mind as of late.
