Hello! First of all I’d like to thank you for visiting my
web site and I’d like to write about my self a bit. I was
born in 1968 in Istanbul, Turkiye. My interest in pigeons
started in 1981 with tumbler pigeons. I bred pigeons as a
hobby until 2002 but when I had my loft built on the roof of
our factory in Kartal, Istanbul, my interest in racing
pigeons started. I became a member of Pendik Racing Pigeons
Club, which had about 50 members. Thus, my intensive
activities about racing pigeons started. I went to Germany
and Belgium to see the lofts of racing pigeon fanciers and
to visit International Kassel Racing Pigeons Fair in 2003.
Then in 2004, I had a chance to visit Dortmund Racing
Pigeons Fair in 2004, in Germany. In 2004, I went to Malta
Island and met the pigeon fanciers there. I have been to
Belgium four times and I met some important pigeon fanciers
whose pictures I saw only in books and Videos. I also got a
chance to buy about 40 pigeons from those people. Some of
these people who I bought pigeons from are JOS THONE, from
Belgium, LOUIS VAN DER WIELEN, DESMET MATHIJS LOUIS
VANGRAMBEREN (white racing pigeons), DESIRE VAN ROY, RENE
VAN DEN BROECK, IGO FRANS, EMILE ET JEAN CLAUD FOURMANOIR,GABY
VANDENABEELE, LOUIS VAN RIET(STICHELBOUT PIGEONS) and
EMMANUEL DE BONO from MALTA.I go to Belgium to visit pigeon
fanciers there and to learn more about their system of
breeding pigeons and buy pigeons and some products twice a
year. I can’t help mentioning Suleyman Meric, who put me up
and helped me to meet other pigeon fanciers in Belgium and
his help to bring top quality pigeons tu Turkiye since 1993.
At the moment I’m part of the Board of Pendik Branch and
Organizations of Races of the Pigeons.
You will be able to see the pictures of my loft and some of
my pigeons in my web site.
Best and Regards,
Ekmel Akdik |
