over 100 winners for some of the best lofts in the USA. Since my retirement in 2017 to Florida I no longer race, I have kept these
families intact over the years without any crossing of other families. Keeping the families intact using an excellent genetic pool
based not only on pedigree, but on performance, these families have proved the test of time while so many have come and gone.
Some accomplishments in 2019: AU Convention race / IF Convention race 8 birds clocked, 6 different lofts, 7 in the money,

Post Office Update!
Hi All.
I went to the Post Office to ship a pair of birds about 225M give or take
a few miles... The Clerk said $81.35!!!
I’m located in North Central West Virginia 26554. The birds were going
to Sellersville, PA 18960. I then asked how much to Islip, NY 11795 from 26554.
$98.00 was her answer!!! I shipped 3 birds to that zip code in April for $45.00!!!
I don’t know if both of the major racing pigeon organizations are aware of this BIG price hike, but come this year,
with guys shipping birds to special races, you best be aware of how much more it’s going to cost.
Selling birds and shipping by mail is going to hurt the small loft guy. My sale for the pair of birds was cancelled,
and I had to write the check for a refund to the customer.
So if you folks don`t know it yet, be aware and let all the clubs know what is going to happen at the post office when
Mr. Pigeon Breeder gets hit with a big number. Hate to say what it might cost to send a pair to California right now!!
Yours in the Sport,

worthwile mentioning and can give you some more insight
in what are the different possibilities in the pigeon sport.
Young Pigeon Disease Syndrome, New Insights
Young Pigeon Disease Syndrome in Europe and
Australia, is more and more problematic, more or
less severe outbreaks, which varied from year to year.
In our areas it was also called adeno type I or type II,
depending on the symptoms. Researchers looked for
the responsible pathogen of this disease, as well as,
adeno virus, circo, herpes, paramyxo virus, etc, from all
different researches, but nothing could be defined as the
real causive pathogen.
The very first alert pigeon fanciers will notice is that
the pigeons don’t obey anymore like they used to when
flyers wanted their youngsters to come into the loft. The
birds don’t have an appetite anymore like they should
and they drink more. Since the digestion is not like it Right pigeon severely infected with Rota Virus
should be, there is a lot of water in the crop.
In 2016 there was a severe outbreak in Australia with Because of this, Prof. Dr. Dennis Rubbenstroth also started
a very high mortality not only in youngsters, but also a research of new cases of YPD, and also some old cases
in old pigeons. The symptoms were like “adeno,” bad that were conserved in the congelator. He found a lot of
droppings, vomiting, crop retention, drinking a lot, Rota virus, not only in Germany, but also in Belgium,
pigeons were fluffed up, and a lot of mortality. In many the Netherlands, etc. This means that probably the main

So all symptoms were comparable with YPDS, but also

a very good tool in the prevention of this disease. At
this moment we don’t know not exactly the best way
of vaccinating, but there are some tests ongoing that
will give us more scientific insights in the best way of
vaccinating the old and young birds.
I would like to thank Colin Walker for his very good job
in Australia, and the big help for the pigeon world with
this topic. In Europe we know plenty more thanks to
Prof. Dennis Rubbenstroth. Thank you!
Screening the Health Status of Your Loft
Swabs, PCR tests and bacterial cultures
Pigeon with severe eye problem, PCR test revealed the
I am convinced that worldwide one of the most causes: herpes, mycoplasma and chlamydia
common problems, especially during racing season
are respiratory problems. Depending on the weather
circumstances, and the climate where you live, this can
be more/less part of the problem for a lack of proper
performance.
Most of the time the pigeon fancier will treat for this
problem with a product he thinks that could work,
or with a remedy his pigeon fancier friend had good
success with. But there are a lot of different pathogens
that could be the cause of the problem, and that may
demand another product to attack the problem.
For this reason, knowing what is the specific problem
will give you plenty of information with what kind of
product you can treat with and have a good result. There
are a lot of different treatments for respiratory diseases Racing pigeon with Herpes

of your respiratory problems is to take some swabs.
Next to a culture for bacteriology, another very good
and accurate tool that is now available is a PCR test on
an eye swab of pigeons with (or without) symptoms, in
order to know what kind of bacteria or virus will cause
the biggest problem in your loft.
To diminish the cost, I always take a pool of samples,
this means I will take 6 pigeons per swab, that way there
will be less cost, and you have a better overview in your
whole loft of what is the greatest problem. A PCR test

In addition to the standard examinations, doing cultures
on a 5-day dropping sample can give you a lot of extra
information concerning the health status in your loft.
Salmonella is probably one of the most common
bacteria in the lofts of a lot of pigeon fanciers, without
noticing it in your loft. Salmonella is also a cause of Youngster that is too weak to hatch due to salmonella infection
