The fancy of

ALBERT VAN FEGGELEN

 

“A hobby is only fun, if one actually doesn’t have time for it”. This wis­dom, a­bout a hob­by where you real­ly do not ha­ve time for, Albert did not come up with by him­self, but the time he spends with his hob­by, rai­sing ex­hi­bi­tion pi­geons, is both a  stress relief and a great joy.

CHRISTMAS STORY

 

December and Christmas…

Outside, shreds of fog are hiding the land and here around the fire, my me­mo­ries go back to the joys and sor­rows of the past year. Hob­by and people, joy and sor­row strin­ging them to­ge­ther into a me­lan­cho­ly mo­ment.

Breeding with feeder pigeons, the key to success

 

I have been breeding English Short Fa­ced Tum­blers con­ti­nuous­ly now for near­ly 20 years after get­ting my first pair as a 12-year-old boy. They were hou­sed in a rab­bit hutch in a make-shift loft and thus began my life’s pas­sion.

HISTORY OF PIGEON BREEDING IN POLAND

 

We are proud of breeding more than 60 races of pi­geons and the pride of our bree­ders is beau­tiful and pre­cious pi­geons be­lon­ging to the Polish Long-Fa­ced Tum­bler group. This group in­clu­des as many as 12 races. The un­crowned king of this group is the very po­pu­lar Polish Long-Faced Tum­bler.

THE QUALIFICATIONS

OF A BREEDER

 

To be a breeder, one must needs be a man among men. This does not mean la­vish ex­pen­di­tures for en­ter­tain­ment du­ring shows. It means the pos­ses­sion of the breeder's instinct; a sym­pa­thetic un­der­stan­ding akin to af­fec­tion for our dumb friends, even those of the fea­the­red type; an exal­ted as­pi­ra­tion to be a pro­du­cer and to bring forth some­thing bet­ter.
