The Sion strain of long distance pigeons holds a allowed place in the pantheon of the world's greatest families of the thoroughbreds of the sky. And like much that is good in Europe, came out of the culture of France, Paul Sion, its originator, started in the sport in approximately 1895 and in due course set his mark. In fact, what he produced crossed more national boundaries throughout the world and became the source of much joy and rewards to countless fanciers.
To quote one eminent authority, A.H. Osamn: "This man has won more prizes in one season than many fanciers win a lifetime." Yes, Paul Sion who was later to be assisted by his son, Robert, truly exceeded (perhaps) his expectations wen after becoming a fancier he adopted Luis Salembier as his teacher, the latter being one of the great French distance pigeoneers for 50 years at that time. Sion admitted in 1935 that he belonged to the Luis Salembier school.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
