ESM SEASON 2 FINISHERS

3 birds made it to the finals and all came back with one finishing at 28th place final lap Claveria 425kms hard race. One of them also clocked 5th at the 3rd lap (Candon) winning a trophy and a prize. We have less luck this year than last year but all good. The birds fought to the very end.

All birds now back in the loft. They are in a very good condition. Thanks to Sir Eric Manago of ESM For taking good care of these birds.

Congratulations also to all winners. It was a fun exciting event. Kudos to the ESM Team for another successful year.

Breeding now to join the 3rd season.

FINISHERS AT PAMOK FCI OLR 2023

We have 3 Finshers out of 6 birds we entered in this Thailand race. 50% clocking rate with one bird being the 2nd Philippine day bird in the 480km hard final race.

Of these, 2 are half siblings from a hen we got from Sir J*p Van Zoone mated to Pattaya 2022 race finishers we won at auction. This proven hen from Sir J*p is the mother of our ESM Season 1 final lap winner last year.

The 3rd bird came from a Pattaya a finisher mated to a local winner bird.

PAMOK THAILAND OLR FINAL RACE 480kms RESULTS

One of ours is No 286th out of 2247 birds basketed. 2nd of 5 Philippine birds that clocked today. As of this evening, clocking stopped at 458 birds. It was a hard race.

This bird is half sibling (mother side) to our ESM OLR Final Lap Winner last year. It was sired this time by a Pattaya 2022 Finisher from SG Steffl of Germany that we won at Pattaya auction paired to a local hen from Sir J*p Van Zoone (thank you ulet!)

Pamok lang po ang natirang laban ko sa International OLRs this season with 6 birds and 5 made it to the finals. Kinancel ko yung ibang entries dahil sa gulo last year. Breeding now to join fresh for the next season.

Congrats po kay Sir Mike Alcantara (first PH bird) and the rest na nakapagpauwi din today!

Laban lang ang Team Sonic para sa Team Pilipinas!

BREEDING AGAIN FOR INTERNATIONAL OLRs?

Sadly, I have already cancelled most of my international OLR stints this year (I sent quite a number of birds to 4 international races) except for one (which I might cancel too). It was a total waste of money (birds, shipping & entry fees) and time but I don’t want to join any of these races if I am starting on the wrong footing. Umpisa pa lang, malas na agad.

The reason?

It was a total disappointment to see local brokers fight for the business to broker international OLRs to the detriment of local fanciers like us. What’s more concerning is that some brokers are being charged of fraud and malversation of funds received for OLRs fees. Naglipat lipat ng brokers, naglipat lipat ng sasalihan, nagmahal ang mga bayarin bigla, may hindi pa mabigay na mga shipping fees at entry fees kahit hindi naman kasalanan ng fanciers ang mga nangyayari.

Nakakawalang gana… nakakatabang na sumali… naging tanga ka pa dahil nagtiwala ka…

Paano ka naman gaganahan pag ganyan? Nasaan ang hustisya?

2 VICTORIA FALLS FINAL ENDURO RACE WINNERS COMING SOON TO SONIC LOFT

Late post of the 2 birds we won at P**A auction last February. They are amongst the day birds in the Enduro 502 kms Final race of Victoria Falls.

A special event at the Victoria Falls One Loft Race is the Enduro Ace competition, which takes place from October to December. These pigeons undergo a well-balanced training program with a training toss every 4 days. These training flights lead up to three races which count for the Enduro Ace Series across 318km, 435 km and 502km. The 728 pigeons basketed for the Final race across 502km, were released at 05:30AM with a strong headwind. Due to overcast, the temperature was not too high - in several places there was even some light rain. The first two pigeons arrived after 9 hours, achieving an average speed of 926 m/min, taking an impressive 36-minute lead! It was a memorable race, in which the pigeons arrived regularly after one another. 50 pigeons arrived on day 1 and when the race was closed, 239 pigeons had reached the lofts.

The birds are now in the US awaiting final clearance for eventual shipping to the Philippines.

HEN FROM GERARD SCHALJWIJK FROM THE NETHERLANDS

Super in**ed from one of Gerard's known superstar Orange Oil (Golden Barcelona '17 '18 '19) and Barca King (1st Barcelona '15) appearing on both sides of the pedigree. They are the parents of Goldplay - 1st Nat Perigueux vs 11,000 pigeons in 2021.

Raced by Gerard in Pattaya, we won at auction. Glad to have one of this pedigree in Sonic Loft soon.

https://www.schalkwijkpigeons.nl/

Gerard Schalkwijk from Lopik has, in recent years, been one of the top fanciers in the Central Netherlands and now the whole of the Netherlands. He is a descendant of a large pigeon family. The name Schalkwijk has been at the head of the results for decades. His mentor was his father Ries, who unfortunately passed away years ago. He made Gerard the pigeon fancier he is today. While father Ries made a mark on the program races, Gerard concentrated on the marathon races. For this he has now built up a beautiful family of pigeons.

The current strain is a mix of Cor de Heijde via the Belgian topper Frans Bungeneers, Jelle Jellema and Aarden via Fam.van Houten. There are still some toppers from other fanciers among them. The first mentioned pigeons are used the most.

OLR PERFORMANCE PAIR

Being new to the sport, we are lucky to have performed well in the local and international OLRs on our first year. This is a mated pair based on their offsprings’ performance in OLR competitions.

VINX (blue check) is the sire of SONIC FIRST Philippine top ace pigeon in the 7th Pattaya International OLR in Thailand mated to LEAH (red check) the dam of STRYKER our Final lap winner Pagudpud 414 kms in ESM OLR Season 1 Finals.

Planning to breed their offsprings too (STRYKER c**k X FIRST hen) as soon as the Pattaya auctioned birds are in our loft.

Incidentally, this is the same bird cage STRYKER is bred from.

SONIC PAGUDPUD LAP WINNER

This is our lap winner 414 kms Pagudpud at ESM OLR 2023 Finals last Jan 29, 2023 at Subic Zambales. This bird is not what we expected because he was late clocking in early laps and trainings compared to his teammates but nevertheless a surprise worth watching for in the finals. He brought home the final lap winner prize of P50,000 plus a trophy.

This big c**k will become a breeder in our loft for OLR competitions.

THE NO 1 PHILIPPINE ACE PIGEON AT PATTAYA SEASON 7 IS SONIC

The 7th Pattaya International Pigeon Race is over and while we are not that lucky enough to land a desirable top spot in the finals, one of our birds (we have 4 left standing in the finals and 2 finished the race) still managed to land as the top Philippine bird at the Ace Pigeon ranking. Ace Pigeon requires to have ranking recorded from 5 races summarizing the ranking of each spot as scores with the lowest total score as the winner. The last race is 530kms.

One of our finishers (named SONIC FIRST) ranked 401st against 9,462 birds in competition and the top Ace Pigeon if compared against all Philippine birds that joined the race. The bird is the offspring of 2 Battenburg lines from Ed Yap Loft. You can view the results here: https://www.pattayaoneloftrace.com/en/leaderboard/ace_pigeon

As a newbie in the hobby, I am happy and proud to have achieved this feat on my first international OLR competition in my first year as a fancier. Truly enjoyable experience joining this prestigious event where your birds compete not just with the best of the Philippines but also against the best of the best in world.

First year, First international OLR, First among Philippine birds (Ace Pigeon ranking), I couldn't be more proud and thankful for the result as well as grateful for the learnings.

So there you go. We will join again next year. Will keep dreamin, and keep breedin. I will post the pedigree of our Ace Pigeon named SONIC FIRST later on.

Good day everyone! Proud Pinoy Fancier here!
