1999 Young Bird Results

This season was such an amazing one for our loft. It was like magic every week when the birds came home. We never imagined I could have a team of pigeons fly so well. Almost every week, they arrived as a flock of pigeons, not a single bird and it was a race to see which pigeon would make it through the electronic clock first. We purchased a Tauris Electronic Clocking System in 1998. It has been such a nice addition to our loft. It makes race days so much easier.

We had eleven club wins, one combine win and three times we placed second in the combine. It was thrilling to have thirteen out of fifteen pigeons place in the points in the combine and we were able to do this twice. There were only three races that we were not right at the top of the sheet and they made the difference in the Average Speed results. We have no idea what happened to our B team on the first race. They finally arrived home, but about an hour late. They must have made a wrong turn somewhere or met up with a hawk. We tend to think hawk, because they came in quite scattered all afternoon. Fort Hall has always been our worst race station.

Most of the pigeons that won for me this year, were Staf Van Reets which we bred straight. Most of these pigeons were moved into our breeding loft and have become the foundation stock for the fantastic birds we are raising today. You can see many of these pigeons in our screen savers and wallpapers and flashing in the corner of each webpage.

This was the season that really convinced us that the Staf Van Reet pigeons really had the ability to win. We are grateful we spent the money to purchase such fine, quality pigeons to build up our loft. Racing pigeons is so much more fun when you are winning. We wish every flyer could have a season like our 1999 Young Bird Season. We won some major awards this year; First Place North American Ace Young Bird Loft Award and First Place Little All American Award. It rarely gets any better than this!
