World Pigeon "Old Max"
Basic information
Introduction of famous pigeons
The reputation of this pigeon in the pigeon world is very noble. During his time as a pigeon, Max was proud of his career, and later a breeding pigeon was extraordinary, perhaps a bit magical or exaggerated, but if you look closely at all of Jensen's past achievements, this is the only conclusion. Its descendants, especially those of his son Young Max, can be said to have controlled the world of pigeons at that time.
Max is smaller, with typical Jensen gray eyes, and at first glance you'll think of it as an inconspicuous, shallow-spotted, just a little darker than its sons 019 and Young Max. If you look closely, you will see a noble temperament in "Old Max", and I don't know if it is appropriate to use "noble" to describe pigeons! Many people say that pigeons should have organic eyes, "Old Max" is a model of this, and what is even more surprising is that its body structure is extremely balanced and its chest is wide. Its most famous straight son is, of course, the well-known "019" and "Young Max", but the velo (velo) b74-6108765 should not be ignored, this pigeon won 15 consecutive first prizes before moving to Raymond, Germany. The loft of raymund hermes, naturally, is very valuable.
In the same year Raymond. Raymund hermes also introduced b73-62366348, a straight daughter of max Sr. (a hen, half-sister pigeon of 019 and Willow).
Ramon. Holmes paired this hen with Ace Pigeon Federal (595-76). This time the pair made 0647-81-1645 this pigeon. This is a very outstanding super pigeon and will be mentioned later.
Albert. Van der Leyen. Albert van der Fleas, Wemeldinge of Peters, Fogong, Rolu. Vesti, Van. Van Boxtel, Julius. Wütters, Pauwels, etc., the gain of their own prestige is inseparable from this pigeon. There is also Wervik's vanhee, who also has to thank Jensen Max for the superb quality of this vein.
One of his charels, b73-3103062, won many awards in the long distance and was considered the most outstanding pigeon of the Fannei loft of the 70s. His father pigeon is a straight son of Max the Elder!
"Old Max" (1967) did not disappoint its owner and competed for the first time, which facilitated the second place in the Quinferran Race. In the year of his birth (youngster), he raced in Nayong to win the first prize with a record of 5 minutes of speeding, which proved everything. The number of prizes won is no less than 3 times. Next, it flew, a disastrous event that still doesn't know what went wrong (June 16, 1968). 10 days later, it appeared again in the blue sky, and for its owners, it was a great relief and a great joy. Then, this year it did not play again, which was a wise move. At the age of 2 and 3, it won 4 more times. Also, the brother pigeon that was born with Max was lost during his first training and never saw it again. However, "Old Max" compensated for this loss, and was rewarded not only for the Jensen brothers but also for others in the most special way.
Schluvesta in Germany. Sylvester Scott bought a younger pigeon from Max Sr. In his house henched a hen 8l-278, the ace pigeon of the "zone" (Bezirk in German, meaning "local"),, who himself has raced 12 times, each time returning in the first round (without winning a first prize).
During the 1970s and 1980s, the Old Max jasons produced many outstanding pigeons in Western Europe. The elderly "Old Max" has had difficulty completing fertilization, but Keerbergen's Julius. Wütters still bought it and spent his old age in the house with his father, donkere stier, b63-6510753. There are people in the world who love pigeons, but Wütters is finally rewarded.
Some people think that this is a suspicious case in the pigeon world: this is because Wütters claimed that "Max the Elder" could still bring him several eggs in his house, and at that time, the whole pigeon world was in a state of turmoil, and finally Julius transferred it to another German. It still has children there! The Yellow Eye geeloqer b67-6282027 is another extraordinary pigeon, born in 1967, and like Max, it was bought by Wütters.
The Yellow Eye is also a well-known Jansen pigeon. Especially in the hands of Wates, the heirs of the Yellow Eye earned him a staggering amount of wealth. Compared with the average Jensen pigeon, this "Yellow Eye" is quite large. The wings appear quite powerful, and the head is also mighty and powerful. Jensen's chest is generally not too deep, but this "yellow-eyed" is one of the rare outliers, and its keel is particularly deep, which can be seen from the outside. If there is anything similar to "Young Max" and "019", it is only its plumage. Its physical structure and eyes are not typical of the Jansen pigeon. From its name, it is known that its eyes are its trademark: "a special product of the Alentonk". In any case, the Jensen brothers still bred a lot of yellow-eyed pigeons, but the pigment is relatively shallow, but it can be said that the yellow-eyed Jensen pigeons are certainly not inferior pigeons.
The Yellow Eye won 15 championships in its lifetime, and the most outstanding of its heirs was Stan. Stan Raymaecker's blauwe jose. Stan not only owns Grey, but also buys a number of Jensen youngsters from Woods. In the place of emblem, this young hen ended up being one of the highest hens in the history of Belgian pigeons. In addition to winning a place in the 5th national ace pigeon, it has also won seven first prizes in antwerp Union and Lier (Lier middle distance). As a token of appreciation, Stan is named after Julius. Wütters's wife "Jose" was named after him.
It was not after the outstanding performance of "Grey Ruosi" that the "Yellow Eye" became famous in the pigeon world. In particular, it should be noted that the "grey rothy" is very graceful and slender, very similar to their parent pigeons, very different from its very stout brother pigeons. In 1983, the Yellow Eye was 16 years old, but it could still be successfully fertilized in Woodscher.
In the same year, Resde of Zolder. Lizette lijnen won a provincial first prize in Vierzon, winning a granddaughter pigeon from Yellow Eye, which can also be said to be a huge winner and loser. The names of the two "shy" bange pigeons are most often mentioned in the newspaper, bange van 51 and bange van 59. When fanciers chat and talk about Jansen pigeons, it is inevitable that so-and-so pigeons are "shy".
