Since biblical times doves were known as symbols of peace. When Noah took his arc to safety, it was a white dove that flew in and gave home the peaceful olive branch. Picasso was invited to draw the first “Dove of Peace” for the first International Peace Conference in Paris after WW2.
Pigeons are generally peaceful among themselves and won’t attack people either. Especially if you are feeding them. If they feel any real threat toward them and especially their young’un, they will buffet their wings.
I’ve read so many articles about pigeons. 9 times out of 10, they all quote “rats with wings.” Woody Allen defined them in a way that there is no coming back from.
But now, when you see a pigeon strutting down the park, maybe take a second look at it, knowing what you know now.
I have a feeling a little more respect might surface up. That pigeon’s grandfather may have saved a whole battalion in WW2. Or maybe the pigeon’s cousin saved a woman by detecting a tumor in her breast. And as it takes flight and find its nest using its homing capabilities – maybe sing another tune other than rats with wings.
“Petit à petit, l’oiseau fait son nid”
The famous French idiom means “little by little, the pigeon makes it’s nest” – means if we take little steps one at a time, we can achieve something we wish. Peacefully.
The more we learn about these pigeons, maybe we can gain a little more respect and appreciation for these brave and smart fliers.
Little by little.
Thank you very much for your attention. the pigeons are beautiful and eat well. Im recommending your pigeons to my friends. I hope to buy more pigeons from you in the future. Thank you.
Arrived early and in perfect condition. I have 8 favorites.
The Alexander Hansenne is indeed a remarkable Racing Pigeon Strain. Dr Willaim Anderson in his book "The Sport of Racing Pigeons" 1947 writes extensively about this outstanding Fancier. I luck to have an original copy of the book. Need i say i myself have of the Bronze chequers in my stock loft Well wishes to you
Hello Dale, Donnie & Pam
Firstly, I would like to thank Dale for his persistence yesterday. Both
Linda and I were so sorry that your crossing was so difficult.
Originally, you texted me that you would wait for us---so of course we
would wait for you!!
We had a very pleasant return home with clear roads etc. But were
extremely tired and went to bed early!! I am extremely happy with the
selection of birds you sent even the replacement for 20512.
It was a pleasure dealing with the Zehr family. I spent time with the
birds in the garage last night and today speaking "Zehr Sion" to them.
Think they understood---at least until they learn "Trini Sion". Lol!!!
Thank you all once again.
Wishing you all and your families a very Happy Holiday Season!!!
Dave and Linda
The 3 birds arrived this morning in Aurora, Colorado safe and sound. Thanks. We'll do business again!!
Hello. We received the two boxes today with the four Hansenne pigeons. Arrived in excellent condition.

Thank you so much, i got the bird! He's so beautiful, pin tail apple body, nice wing :)
Hello there, My name is Mike and live in Az, I had racing pigeons when I was young and now Im not young haha 61, Semi retired and determined to move to a place where I can fly birds again, want to get my grandkids involved. Anyway as a kid I flew some Sions and really enjoyed your website. When Im ready would love to get a few Sions again and see how they do. Any advice for an old newbie? lol
Hey Donnie, Saw your Birds on Ipigeon and must say, those are some Beautiful Heitzmans. They are very true to what I called the real thing. Beautiful Hansennes as well. Take Care, Chuck
Hi
I have placed the pigeon recieved from you recently in a priority express shipment back to you in same box recieved. Bird was beautiful and healthy but we realized it’s nature is such that it needs to fly and be a racing pigeon. We can’t offer that life to it and realize it was a mistake to try this based on our situation
Bird has had not been outside and has been confined indoors in isolation since recieved.
Please give it the home it deserves.
Appreciate the care you took getting it to us!!!
Need some color on my team. Had some sion couple years ago when i had a partner who sick and could not care for his own birds. He liked sions so i bought some from you on pigeonauction.com. We alot of fun his sions against my team .He has since past on. His family called me and thanked me for letting fly with me he really looked forward race day. HE WON EVERY WEEK
