PETER VAN DER SPEK about his fancy pigeons My interest in animals, but especially pigeons, was
learned at home. I was born in Loosduinen (near
The Hague NL), and in those days there were many flying boxes on the roofs
in this area. There is a photo in existence with me standing in the run pulling
a cock out of the box by its tail. By : Peter

THE OLD DUTCH TURBIT attracting more interest The Old Dutch Turbit is a
very ancient breed, notwithstanding the fact that it was only officially
recognised by the Dutch Standard Committee in 1938, having been neglected
and forgotten by the fanciers in earlier years. Fortunately, the interest in this
beautiful Dutch breed has again increased, due to the changes made to the
breed in bygone years. By : Jos
