Our Tom Lock family also achieved the following achievements in 2013 in the Sale Races:

This bird was the 7th SA bird back and was the 11th Best Bird Overall and 2nd best SA pigeon -this bird is currently on your website -LOT 95

Lastly I would personally like to take this opportunity in thanking you for allowing us to purchase many of our Tom Locks from you , we now in return would also like to place some of our Tom Locks on your website for the new owners to have just as much fun with this family of birds as what we have - from the LOFT of GILBERT AND BRUIN
