Birdy, best One Loft Race ace pigeon of all time
DV06503-07-900 Birdy, best OLR ace pigeon ever
To refresh your memory, we go back to the year 2017. The German based combination of Burkard Südhoff & Willi van Beers took part in the South African Million Dollar Pigeon Race with blue coloured racing hen DV06503-07-900. This hen, which was later called Birdy, came into prominence with a head-turning performance in 2007/2008. Across 24 official races Birdy claimed a top 32 prize no less than ten times. She started winning top prizes one after another from her very first training flight, which began with a 26th of 3821 pigeons, and ended with a 10th against 28866 pigeons. This last result was won in a race over 552km, with temperatures reaching 35 degrees. Birdy’s achievements eventually resulted in the following titles:
SAMDPR 2008 Knock-Out Competition Champion
Grand Average Ace Pigeon
Hot Spot Average Ace Pigeon
Birdy was transferred to the team of Mark Kitchenbrand right after the final
