THREE STEIGER-

and STELLER CROPPER

BREEDERS

 

A triptych on the three board members of the Dutch Stei­ger and Steller Crop­per Club: Adrie Klink, Chairman; René van de Westerlo, Secretary/ Treasurer and Henk Sand­mann, Board member. The Club was founded in 1975, like the Stei­ger Cropper Club. In 2002 the Stel­ler Cropper breeders joined this club and the Steller Cropper name was ad­ded. Recently also the Czech Steller Crop­per was added to the Club Breeds.

THE EGYPTIAN

FAYOUMI

 

The Fayoumi, known in Egypt as the Bigawi, is a unique living treasure. It emer­ged at the cross­roads of the flou­ri­shing civi­liza­tions of South Asia, Afri­ca and the Near East and re­flects the cul­tu­ral ex­change between the ancient Super Powers. Its pro­genitors sailed on trade ships and were car­ried over­land with ar­mies and cara­vans.

A CHRISTMAS

PRESENT

 

Last year the European Championship for Carriers was held in northern Fran­ce. There were nume­rous top birds grou­ped toge­ther from dif­fe­rent parts of our conti­nent. I was told by several bree­ders that the show had been very worth­while and the quality of the ente­red birds were very high. Next time I real­ly should go there, be­cause you are al­ways dis­ap­pointed to have mis­sed a show when later you read or hear great sto­ries about it.

PIGEON ART

FROM SOUTH AFRICA

 

A few years ago our local pigeon club was chal­len­ged with the idea to come up with uni­que awards for your show. One of our mem­bers brought along small pigeon figu­rines to our AGM and en­quired if we cannot award some­thing si­mi­lar to our win­ning ex­hi­bi­tors. I had a look at his exam­ples and deci­ded to try to create some­thing slightly dif­fe­rent.

CONCERNING POULTRY

Different breeds demand

different incubation measures

 

One can be puzzled by noticing that, from the same batch, in the same incu­bator, some of the chicks hatch nor­mal­ly, while others die be­fore brea­king the shell. Rea­ding the follo­wing ar­ti­cle, ba­sed on the ex­pe­rience of in­dustrial poul­try bree­ders, could be a real eye-opener for  bree­ders of ex­hi­bi­tion poul­try as well.

JUDGING AT THE

SOUTH AFRICAN

FANCY PIGEON

ASSOCIATION SHOW

 

When my wife, Donney, and I decided to have our holiday in South Africa, I thought it would be good if I could fit in their natio­nal show in Pretoria. After cor­res­pon­ding with Jan Lombard and Christo Britz, they said they’d like me to judge the LF Tumblers and some of the Blo­wers. So that was the start of what tur­ned out to be a won­der­ful ex­pe­rien­ce and fan­tas­tic ho­li­day.
