Talking with: RIKUS HAGENAUW Rikus Hagenauw from Peize (NL) is a successful breeder of the Voorburg Shield Cropper. In 1977, when he accidentally
ran into a Voorburg Shield Cropper, it was love
at first sight. Of all pigeons the Cropper group is the most attractive to
him, mainly because of the action that they show and the contact you have
with them. By :

Given the Floor: JAN LUCHTMEIJER Jan Luchtmeijer from Drachten (NL)
feels more like a pigeon fancier than a real “top breeder”, although he has
already spent more than 30 years in pigeon breeding. The daily dealing
with his birds, enjoying their free flight if possible, breeding youngsters

THE DUCKS OF SCHELDT BANKS Today we can hardly imagine this but, around the
turn of the 19th century, multiple generations lived under one roof;
grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren shared the home and
the environment. In this way, the work could be divided evenly because,
at that time, every household tried to be as self-sufficient as possible. By :
