Feathers:"
ONA WIM"
AU-06-CBS-3091 BB Hen

Recently we have added to our long distance line and we think
this Bordeaux hen has what we are looking for. "Ona Wim" is a blend of Janssen,
Van Wanroy, and Jan Aardens and more importantly her sire is a proven breeder
and her dam is a proven racer. This family can go the distance, 500+. She is a
truly a sight to behold!

Pigeon Talk: Last month on Featured Feathers I wished
for a 1st Combine win, well, on Nov.10th, we won both the A and B race! In the A
race we placed 1st, 2nd, 5th,6th,7th,12th, and in the B race 1st - 5th! Needless
to say, we were very proud of our birds. We are also proud to say that on the
Greater New Orleans Combine "Bird of the Year Report" 5 out of the top 11 birds
were bred by us. This is good news! We will be posting all of our race results
on the website soon...What a Race Season! Too bad the race season ended because
those flying horses were just getting started. We'll see you fellows come Old
Birds...(Hi guys!)

In addition to an exciting race season, we were
informed that we won the 2007 Showcase Loft of the Year. I am so happy about
that win, especially for Byron. It is such a compliment to be awarded for his
hard work. Thank all of you who voted for us.

What I learned: Not too long ago, I received an email
from the Netherlands from a man named Wim Van Rijk. He introduced himself and
his website to us. I'm amazed at how in a short time, he has become like an old
friend. We have much to learn from each other in the pigeon racing sport. In
fact, I learned of the Van Wanroy family from him. He has some Wanroys. They are
his favorite breed. They are an old family that still carries on today! This is
obvious with the Bordeaux family..(Their story can be found on http://www.cbspigeon.com/). When I set my
sights on Au-06-CBS-3091, on I-pigeon, I knew that she belonged to me. I wasn't
looking to buy, but I did, on a whim. That is part of why I named her, Ona Wim,
the other is that I can always remember that Wim Van Rijk introduced me to the
Van Wanroy line. His website is http://wimvanrijk.nl/ . Making friends abroad
is just another reason why this sport is so GREAT!!!!!

Happy Holidays From Our Loft To
Yours
