When the pigeons can hold the level and forme as the past few weeks will also be a success again this year.

Care

René (43) is the younger of the two brothers fanatical and take the bulk of the care for his account. Before he goes to work, The pigeons are only fed and quickly glanced at the lofts. In the evenings he tries between 17.30 in 20.00 hours to make appointments so that he has the opportunity at this time to take care of his feathered friends. Peter (47), working as a payroll administrator, is the helping hand on Saturday, handles the entire administration and the training flights of pigeons. On the day of basketing determine the men together which pigeons go with it to keep the honor of the brothers high.

Our hosts play their showpieces total widowhood with both the cocks and the hens are basketed. Basically, from the first to the last official old birds race all along, what comes out annually by approximately 16 flee. "Over the course of the season, but we'll be keeping pigeons at home. Mostly males from performing hens or birds that indicate they do not fit into the regime ", René indicates. The pigeons get during the season, every day the same amount and composition of food dished.

In the selection focuses mainly on the performances, but keeping an eye also to the origins. In addition, annually pigeons guru Gert-Jan Beute asked for its opinion and taken into account its findings in the assessment of a dove.

The 17 meter loft of the brothers is behind the farm from father Bernard (79) and mother Hilda (74). Together they also take care of the 80 present youngsters themselves. It is a loft without too much fuss: no heating or other artificial ways to bring the pigeons in shape. “When we were in the new loft 2005 started building we chose a deep hole (3 m). Thus, the loft is highly oxygenated and the weather is less important to the pleasant climate inside the loft ", said Peter, which wants to leave nothing to chance.

This season, René and Peter are not likely to participate in the long distance races. "Peter has peace not here for, The long wait is nothing for him ", gives the smiling René to. Peter fills him: "We have, Partly because of this, the objective again this year in the sprint races (speed, middle distance and youngsters) early birds and beautiful series run.
