I want to thank all those who have contacted me regarding the purchase of our Red Cape Wings Family pedigreed racing pigeons. As I get closer and closer to 80 yo the number of birds I am racing has gradually diminished ... my old body is at times letting me down.
Watching others find success racing my bloodlines is as nearly as much fun as watching my own birds come in over the tree tops!
Having said that, I am offering the best I have to the racing community all fully pedigreed for a "working man's price" of $150 if you choose the bloodlines... Kittel? Macaloney? etc and $100 each if I pick the bloodlines.
I can ship to you for club flying or to a OLR of your choice.....
I do not publish a breeders directory... as sales are not my reason for being in this great hobby of ours.... if interested I suggest you look at the lists below and simply communicate with me regarding your interests... Sincerely Karl

We are not a collector of pedigrees,
but try to incorporate only the best into our own personal racing pedigrees.
Our race course is as tough as they get and in fact in 2025 most of our club members had losses in excess of 75%, some lofts entered the 300 with only 6-8 birds left to race ... Here at Red Cape WIngs we ended the season with a YB team of almost 50 birds, with minimal losses after a full season of races.
Our success here is a matter of record; 2024 we won LOFT of the YEAR award (CMP)
We also have a secondary loft apart from our main breeding loft to accommodate our select "color race birds that really race".... currently Tiger Grizzle, Yellow (ash red dilute), Classic Grizzle, Black, Slate /Smokey, Indigo (Chocolate), Recessive Opal and Reduced. We are strict with our culling process, even more so with our color birds.
My "color" Young Bird Kits;
I will offer young birds in Kits of 2 or 4 YBs... if you desire more than 4 please email me for availability
Pricing: $90 ea for 2, $75 ea for 4 plus box and shipping. These prices are for my Colored racers, full siblings to the birds I will race, all pedigreed. Tiger Grizzles, Classic Grizzles, Yellow cks and bars, Indigo / Chocolate, Reduced and Blacks
You can mix and match colors for your order (if available)
If interested I require a non refundable deposit of $100 ... Send Ck to: Karl Rau 29 Windsor Rd South China, Maine 04358 which will be returned if I can't supply your request..... I will put you on my list only after I receive your deposit
yours in the hobby, Karl
