We aim to be a little more active in the news section, be it video or text, and to keep you up to date with what we do or with what is happening in the pigeon-loving world, but which deserves to be reviewed. So we invite you to stay close and get ready to enjoy the new pigeons360.com site, either because it has a new design or because we are starting to have a sustained interaction with you, our pigeon friends and collaborators.

At the beginning of August I made a short working visit to Germany. I would have let you guess where I was, but the pictures will steal your eye easier than a string of uncolored letters and ... by the time you get to this passage, the surprise is already revealed:

Alin Karscu - the pride of Romanians with the incomparable 1st place International Barcelona 2020 through the female Queen of the Night
Dr. Peeters - the ambulatory history of inventions and discoveries for pigeon supplements and treatments
Roger Wijnands - in a new form (the old one: H&R Wijnands) - unfortunately, last year Harry, the 93-year-old father, passed to the eternal ones.

I returned to Alin, a month after the great success in Barcelona. By the way, thank you all for the avalanche of flattering words and appreciations that came after the interview with Alin Karscu. I didn't know what to expect, because I didn't know Alin, only from what Sorin Florea and Petrica Cocos - Team Manager Florea Sorin - had told me 1-2 days before. We were surprised to discover a special pigeon fancier, maybe also due to the aura that a 1st place Barcelona gives you. But beyond the momentary success, for Alin Karscu it was clear that Loc 1 Barcelona 2020 was literally "the tip of the iceberg". Behind this result, cliché to describe you, are many years of hard work, sacrifices taken to the extreme (both personal / family, but also for many valuable birds, risky and played to the extreme). Alin, a boy you also discovered from the youtube movie (if you haven't seen it, you can find it HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Obst8chag&t=294s). A typical example of a Romanian who, through the misfortune of being born in a poor country, but who has a genetic baggage and gray matter to be able to do enough in a western society, must leave the grinding that the Romanian school he gives it and dedicates himself totally to the work that will ensure his survival, his and the passion for which he sacrificed everything. When you start to enter the pyramid (because another resemblance does not come to my mind when I talk about his breeding in Germany) to Alin Karscu, you begin to discover, as it were, all sorts of clues, coded writings, traces and clues in his head, he proves that where he got today is not a coincidence. To develop a little, because it seems to me that what I wrote above sounds a bit coded, I was amazed to see that on a "painting", which on the face was a collage of pictures showing the transformation of the farm that was a dumpster Before Alin took over from the German club, on the back was a statement dating from September 1, 2016 the objectives assumed, in secret - because we are in a pyramid, and the plan that would make Alin, and through him the Romanian breeder frustrated by the misfortune with which he was born in his mother's country, to prove to the whole world that, here too, Romania gives values. It may be an extreme comparison for some, but how Brancusi needed France to prove to the whole world that he was the greatest artist of the twentieth century, how more and more philosophers, inventors, engineers and whatever we want, Romanians, they needed to be grafted on another trunk to show what a noble cow lay forgotten somewhere in a corner of the world, this time, Alin Karscu, in the pigeon-loving world, sticks, like a Penes Turkey in the 19th century, the tricolor flag and shows that another redoubt was conquered on behalf of all. I haven't written in a long time and that's why this poetic style struck me. I promise that in the future I will be more journalistic, with short and concise sentences.

Next ... I went to Dr. Peeters with Alin. When I leave, Alin tells me: "Maaaaaaai, I forgot to take a picture with the doctor.". Nothing. We put once again an old picture, from the first visit, the one of public rehabilitation of "Queen of the Night". And in this way I want to thank once again Dr. Peeters, Jos Thone and all those who helped us to repair, without right of appeal, the image of the pigeon that made the second greatest result in the history of Barcelona and which risks, for the simple fact that a "romancuta" had the courage to beat the "famous flower", to be labeled with the same label with which many Romanians who went to the product, including pigeons, are labeled. Jos Thone took the clearest attitude and in a movie that is on the facebook of pigeon360.ro he said clearly that he is a typical Barcelona pigeon and that it is a mistake and a shame for someone to continue to discredit, together with the pigeon, the whole pigeon sport in the west. Along with the idea that the female would have stolen the result, the Barcelona stage would have been discredited, because the idea that the pigeon sport in the west is easily fraudulent was subconsciously induced. Everything was solved; thank you! The Beyers-Dr. Peeters helped us once again, and this time not with the wonderful products (a little advertising never spoils). Alin got a Dr. Peeters Speaciaal, the crazy combination of amino acids, electrolytes, vitamins and minerals and a paramyxovirus vaccine. A few pigeons were also analyzed by hand, an exchange of information was made, opinions were made, Yvonne once again prepared the best coffee we drink in Belgium. We said goodbye and were taken away.

R. Wijnands - Maastricht city center. Alin does not understand: "How, he flies from here?". We were surprised 2-3 years ago. We've been to Wijnands 10 times, so we were used to it. But, yes, Wijnands flies from the "navel of the fair." Yes ... OK! In the top 10 International at Barcelona Palmares 2-3-4-5 years. We review the emblematic pigeons: Lichte05, Pozzato, Triple A, Super Reproducatorul 301, 3rd place International Palmares 5 years Barcelona. Don't forget these names because we will meet them again. Why? Because, yes, I bought for the Olympic Station 9 chicks from all these colossi. Detail on the next occasion. You don't know what Olympic Station is now. It is the Reproduction Station of the pigeons360.com team. Piegeons360.com is the English version of pigeon360.ro. From now on we will only use the English name because we want to attack the international market. So, soon he will be "goodbye" with porumbei360.ro. You will only hear about pigeons360.com, Olympic Station and others. We do everything with you, so we will not go further without informing you and without asking you to be with us throughout this journey. Romania deserves more! Let's go back to Wijnands. We review, we said: pigeons - SOLVED. Further, to be reviewed: Alin Karscu is asked by 3 Frenchmen for a picture. He is a star and pigeon lovers recognize him. Beautiful! Another goal: the restaurant where Roger invited us. Super food, wine even better. Then he shows us his house outside the city, which is already in Belgium (Maastricht is on the Netherlands-Belgium border). The house, therefore, and the castle. We will tell you what is done there on December 13th.
