Looking back at Season 2015

Although I had the intention to periodically something new on the site put it there by a variety of circumstances not happen.
After four flights on the middle distance I had my head enough for the birds (Mieke disease) and I stopped participating in the races. At that time we were still in middle distance not nominated 6th Division 8 SOON!
We have only started again with the youngsters. The old birds were this year alongside the youngsters are raced on the natoer.
With the youngsters was quite bad, because it started with training flights 46 youngsters, After the last race we had only about five…
Now you might think: “How is that possible, because you they still gave SBN powder?”
My stock SBN powder by not become clear reasons already become wet in the packing.
The SBN powder had already been saturated for mixed through the food and could not perform its function as a toxin binder.
Next year we will start applying the SBN powder again.
By a large number of flights not to have participated, we do not come to the championships in circle and in the top region for.
In de vereniging P.V. Holthuizen were still achieved good results:
1e General Hokkampioen
1e Hokkampioen Natoer
1E Champion Natoer
1e Hokkampioen Youngsters
2e General Champion
3e Hokkampioen Midfond

De kop is eraf

The wind chased the pigeons with swifty speed home.
The first two pigeons arrived together and were due to construction right behind the loft a few extra ererondjes, but that did not spoil the fun.
They had the ample 108 km. from Hapert completed within an hour (1830 mpm).
The later pigeons withdrew absolutely nothing to the work in the loft.
The association was 2,3,15,19, etc.. in 7 of the 10 awards against 163 pigeons.
In around 6 was begun to place 7, 8,70, 89 etc.. against 1.553 pigeons and also here 7 of the 10 inde prices.
In Region North East of dept. 8 SOON was initiated location 48 in 49 against 5.906 doves and 5 of the 10 awards.

First flight

Tonight 10 pigeons basketed for the first sprint race: Falters 108 km.
As the neighbor directly behind the loft of a flat roof is building, almost as high as my loft and he there tomorrow by working I must wait and see if my birds like to come inside ( The distance from the roof to my loft is half meters).
I've only experienced old pigeon basketed in hope, that they are less jumpy, but if they do not want to come in that unfortunate, mar the otherwise.

 

Youngsters loose again

 

P1110423

Today the youngsters were after the bar with bad weather and wind storm last week once again loose.
As you can see in the picture they are looking forward to explore the area well.
The second round can also view the area from the aviary on the landing board.
Tomorrow there is a pet training flight from Ravenstein (as a. 60 km.), but I have not done with pigeons, because the weather is too uncertain and too cold.
Next week, after the Easter holidays, the weather is forecast to be slightly warmer than I do myself go a little dropping.

 

2E Round.

 

P1110418

This afternoon the second round (22 duifjes) placed on a department.
The youngsters are all first feature phones ring, so that if they lose for once the price, the belayer can call me.
While the Netherlands and Belgium to cancel the flights with the pigeons, went in our region the first training race for the old pigeons attention. The pigeons were to 08.30 in 08.40 hour unloaded in Heteren.
Since I found the forecasted weather too cold and wet I have for my pigeons yesterday declined to hives in my pigeon.
If next week, weather conditions improve, I will bring it to them myself Heteren.

My pigeons have this year on the Vitesse not perform top (all they win is naaturlijk did welcome), because the focus is this year on the long distance races and the youngsters.

 

Youngsters

 

Today again 11 youngsters placed in the first division of the youngsters loft.
After the weekend, there are five in and then there are plenty of birds in that department.
Sit there 24 youngsters in that pen and that there are sufficient, because experience has shown that if I 35 at position that is far too(get there more lost until the hokbezetting about 30 seat). Thirty pieces is actually the maximum, but rather because I've had enough I leave it this year 24 for afdeling.
The youngsters can explore for several days in an aviary outside the valve area. The first 8 already made good use of it. Starting tomorrow I'm going to teach them by jumping off the drengels on the feed shelf inside.
This has the advantage that if a couple of weeks the aviary is removed and the roof can they at least know how and where to go in if I call them within.

 

Pigeons loose again

P1110397

 

Today for the first time this year a division of the pigeons had loose outside.
From the last natoervlucht they were i.v.m. Raptor danger not been loose.
After the pigeons again called in to have lacked the yearling “901” on apple.
At the end of the afternoon he came back with a big hole in its tail (5 of 6 tail feathers were missing).
He has probably already know immediately taken with the clamper, but it was too fast for him anyway.
