Absolutely nothing taken out of those pigeons. Its a testament to how good and healthy they are. Such an awesome site from that distance. Well done to all of your team.
Lovely to watch those arrivals, well done 👏 I am interested to know how you train those birds you use to get the race birds in quickly? We call them flirt birds her in England
i love your racing birds so much but i cannot afford to have my own racing pigeon because i have allergy if i smell thiet droppings i cant breath so if you can please give me some old pigeon rings im collecting them different kind of racing pigeon rings if you will sell it its okey i will buy them THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Because we also have a breeding station and function as a company, we must have a watertight administration and all rings must be accounted for. We cannot therefore give away rings. Sorry.
It should be very clear that racing pigeons is now exclusivly a rich mans sport.! No ordernary fancier could afford such an elaborate loft system run and maintained by a permanent loft manager entering more birds per race than normal fanciers have in their entire team.! Money has forced more pigeon fanciers out of the sport than any other reason.! Such a tragedy that the wealthy should have the privilage and abillity to dominate the results because of that.
Don't forget that Hans Eijerkamp also started with nothing when he began with pigeons, using his last cents to buy birds. After years of building with great passion and overcoming setbacks, he has reached where he is now, at nearly 90 years old. If you want to achieve something and you go for it, a lot is possible. However, many people don't want to put in the effort and think that someone who has achieved a lot had it easy, but that is not the case.
@@HenEJEijerkamp Only in The Netherlands the amount of pigeon fanciers have declined by more than 50%. Adding Belgium it is a staggering 60% plus and declining yearly. Very few normal breadwinner fanciers are still in the sport mainly due to the unfair advantage that the wealthy loft owners have with sending large numbers of birds to the races. You must remember that you need fellow pigeon fanciers to race against. You cannot race against yourself.! The way its moving now you will find yourself racing only against the likes of the Hoymans and other large loft setups that dominate the sport at this time. Limiting the amount of birds that may be entered into races will go a long way in encouraging average and small pigeon lofts to enter the sport.! Sending large numbers of birds to races and winning all the top positions is a sure way to chase away all of most of the less fortunate fanciers out of the sport. That is what is happening now.! In the one loft races around the world this is very noticable where certain wealthy induviduals enter in excess of 100 birds per season at a staggering cost which is totally unfair to other pigeon fanciers worldwide.
@brucecarey1780 Thank you for your detailed response. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but things are sometimes more complex than they seem. Pigeon racing is fortunately a sport that cannot be won by money alone; otherwise, the sport would have ceased to exist long ago. We too are constantly working week in, week out to figure out how to make our pigeons perform well, and it is just as challenging for us as it is for anyone else. Pigeon racing is essentially an "unfair" sport because everyone has different distances, locations, care routines, numbers of pigeons, and the wind can be very decisive. Despite this, many pigeon enthusiasts enjoy the sport every week, and that is what it's ultimately about, even for us. With this, I conclude this conversation and wish you the best of luck.
@@HenEJEijerkamp Very true and absolutly correct.! I was not trying to knock you for being successful. The scene has changed a lot. So its not a backdoor sport anymore. It has become more specialized and no longer for everyone. Your loft is legendary and so is your birds.! Thanks for replying. Regards.
