On one occasion, so eager was the great Hansenne to win a certain race, that he promised Renier Gurnay, "If I win 1st prize this day the winning bird shall be yours, as a present from me." When the blue hen arrived, Gurnay seized the bag containing it and sped towards headquarters at a pace faster than he had ever ran before. Nor did he run so swiftly in vain because the blue hen was quickly announced the winner of the 1st prize. Gurnay was jubilant. when the club officials confirmed that Hansesnne's blue hen had indeed won the race, Gurnay did not return to Hansenne's loft but went homewards with the winning blue hen, where she was placed in the loft as another valuable addition to his growing collection of racing pigeons. Stage by stage his stock increased until, after the death of Hansenne, he acquired those particular birds from the master's loft that he required to form the sound foundation of his strain, the strain that was destined to create world's records over all distances. In course of time he became universally acknowledged as the "Champion of the Pigeon World," and was publicly proclaimed by the late George Gits as "The Emperor."
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
