Lot # 15 – Davy Calvin Cock
Starting bid: £30.00
Proxy Bidding, Also known as Commission Bidding is a concept in which the system automatically bids on your behalf up to the maximum bid amount that you have chosen (“Max Bid”).
Your leading bid will be placed from your max bid, at one increment above the competing bid, thus keeping you in the top position until your “Max Bid” is reached. The driver of the “Max Bid” is bids from other bidders.
This is simply to make the online auction process much easier and less time-consuming. Proxy Bid is the Maximum Bid and not the Current Bid.
- If auction price is between 0 and 750 the bid increment is 10
- If auction price is between 750 and 1500 the bid increment is 25
- If auction price is between 1500 and 2500 the bid increment is 50
- If auction price is over 2500 the bid increment is 100
Description
Tommy McClean Stock Reduction Sale
Tommy needs very little introduction to pigeon fanciers throughout Ireland and beyond, being an ever-present feature of the top results in any of the channel and French racing scene for many years. He has been our national champion on a number of occasions and winner of some of our premier long distance races over a protracted period. He has, literally, hundreds of other wins to his name at Club, Section, Federation and National level, and more importantly, it is said that he would win with your pigeons, such is his ability to produce performances from any pigeons !!
This sale is the last in a series of stock reduction sales for Tommy, with his own stated intention of closing his stock lofts by the end of 2024 to allow more time and involvement with the racing side of his efforts. Tommy?s ability to pick a pigeon hasn?t diminished any, and although not a ?family? of pigeons in the traditional sense, all of the birds offered are the parents of either past performers or indeed of his current crop of Kings Cup entrants for the upcoming season.
Some of the birds for sale include his 1st National INFC Friendship National Winner “Sam’s Gift”, his 3rd Open Kings Cup winning Hen, his 4 x France Cock, a son and daughter of his 1st Open Friendship National x 3rd Open Kings Cup and many other performance breeders and winners.
Tommy is again in line for a super year of racing from France, with 2 birds going for their “Hall of Fame” awards from the INFC, 4 birds going for their merit awards as well as a host of other sons and daughters of the birds in this sale going forward to their own respective races from France.
The birds were photographed and had video taken of them in late summer 2024, when some of the birds were already starting to moult. Having seen them recently at the lofts, they have all come through a fantastic moult, are healthy and ready to breed for the 2025 season.
The birds are currently at the McClean lofts and will be available for collection or delivery following the sale. (Delivery to the UK, Europe and beyond available – just ask us for pricing and details). These are all of Tommy’s stock birds at his lofts.

Colour: Mealy
Sex: Cock
A (long) story short…..The parents of this pigeon originated at the lofts of Davy Calvin, having been sold by him at his sale in Glenavy. They were purchased, at the time, by Frank Sheader – at some considerable cost.
Tommy McClean ordered young birds from these top pigeons of Davy’s from Frank and they duly arrived. Not having any immediate use for them (mid-season) the pigeons, with pedigrees, were sent on loan to Jim Newell.
Jim’s untimely passing occurred during this loan period and the pigeons were returned to Tommy’s lofts, but the pedigrees got mislaid somewhere in the move, and remain unavailable.
Tommy has not had time to breed many from these pigeons, but does report a Mealy hen who won 1st Club Talbenny in 2023, she will go to the Kings Cup in France later next year.
These birds have the correct provenance, but lack the pedigrees – but show all of the promise that Tommy saw in their parents but failed to purchase at the auction.
