DUTCH BEAUTY HOMERS

 

The name already implies it: the bree­ders were loo­king for an es­pe­cial­ly beau­ti­ful pigeon with ele­gance. As ba­sic ma­te­rial the Ra­cing Pigeon was used, which had been crea­ted in Bel­gium between 1815 and 1825.

THE FRENCH BAGHDAD

 

It happens often enough that you hear the re­mark du­ring jud­ging the French Baghdad: "Is that a pigeon? Oh, it is so ugly!" Such a reac­tion is nor­mal for peo­ple who are not ful­ly con­ver­sant with Fancy pi­geons in all their va­rie­ty. Also, you can­not please every­one in this hob­by.

THE Lucerne

 

The Lucerne is the 'Pixie' of the Swiss Pi­geon Breeds. With its un­usual sha­ped head, high peak crest, large dark eyes and grou­sed legs, it al­most re­minds you of some dra­wing out of a chil­dren’s fairy tale book. It even has a tem­pe­ra­ment to match!

Evaluating the

EXHIBITION Sebastopol

 

Knowing what the Standard says isn't the same as under-standing what it desires. This is where expe­rience vie­wing birds, both very good and not so good, is help­ful. No­thing will teach any­one what is de­si­red so much as ha­ving an ex­cel­lent spe­ci­men on the ground in front of you.

FRENCH EXHIBITIONS

Part 1

 

In France, it is quite normal on a Sun­day after­noon to go and visit a fellow bree­der who lives 200 miles away. This gi­ves a very spe­cial at­mos­phere in the sport ex­pe­rience, es­pe­cially at a show where par­ti­ci­pants often stay for a week (with their fa­mi­ly) at a lo­cal ho­tel, to ex­pe­rience the total event.

Collecting pigeon statues and curios

 

Collecting mini pigeon figurines began fol­lo­wing a visit to the Pre­si­dent of the VCN / the Flying Roller Club in the Ne­ther­lands. His father made the most beau­tiful pigeon de­signs and dove­cotes of cop­per. At that time I al­rea­dy had se­veral pi­geon sta­tues, but not a much of a col­lec­tion. However, I star­ted to bring home every­thing that had to do with pi­geons, to the cha­grin of my wife.
