Willems Eric (Attenrode) wins 1st Provincial Tulle 512 old birds
05 Jul 2025
On the national flight from Tulle, 512 old pigeons came to the start for the province of Flemish Brabant. The winner can be found in the lofts of Eric Willems from Attenrode, who has been able to shine with his colony on the long distance and extreme long distance for decades. This winner also flew together nice prizes in the preparation and now received his first exam on the long distance at Tulle. A full sister of the winner won that same weekend from Agen 12th National Agen 5,314d and 31st International.
Widowers
The widowers are raced here on classic widowhood, in the winter period they are allowed to raise a pair of youngsters but a second pairing in the spring does not follow. The pigeons train once a day in the beginning because there is not enough light in the morning, but once this is possible they always go outside early. Now in the middle of summer they come outside at 5:30 am and in the evening from 6 to 7 pm. The pigeons always get to see their hen for 10 to 15 minutes when they leave and when they return home this is usually 2 hours. If they really fall late in the evening I leave them there until the next morning. Once the widowers go along on the heavy middle distance and otherwise I basket them every 14 days. This is more than enough for cocks.
In terms of nutrition I use Super Recup together with Sport Maxi Top and Energy from Anthoons. The only extra products I use are Tollyamin Forte from the week and when I return home I always use Kombi-Mix to disinfect the pigeons.
