The Top Mix May Auction 2025 on Amazing-Wings is now live — and trust me, this is one you definitely don’t want to miss. As the Pigeon Boss, I follow the market closely every day… and I can tell you without a doubt: this auction offers top-quality birds at honest prices, with full transparency.
The first major middle-distance race of the 2025 season in Section 6 was one for the history books. On Sunday, May 3rd, a staggering 11,523 pigeons from 440 fanciers were released at 07:15 from Morlincourt-Noyon. Under ideal conditions—light clouds, a light northeast wind, and a temperature of 10°C—one name soared above the rest: Lex Udo.
On Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, the M18 race in Dutch Region 7 took off from Morlincourt-Noyon. With 12,757 pigeons from 473 fanciers released at 7:35 AM, the conditions were mild: light cloud cover, a weak northeast wind, and a temperature of 14°C. The race covered 326 kilometers—and it delivered a phenomenal result.
Spring is in full swing, the skies are blue, and the temperature is perfect… In other words: the ideal moment to shift gears in our Barcelona 2025 campaign! This weekend, I – the Pigeon Boss – will basket my old birds (2 years and older) for a 400 km training flight from Pontoise to Delft.

Last Wednesday, I loaded up a group of pigeons and drove to Steenbergen for a training toss. Everything seemed perfect — blue skies, a light tailwind, and a basket full of eager wings. But when I got back home, I noticed something was off. Three of the birds didn’t return on time. They came back eventually, but much later than expected, and visibly tired.
Now, most fanciers would chalk it up to a tough day and move on. But here at my loft, every pigeon gets the attention it deserves — not just physically, but mentally too. And believe me, that mental side is massively underestimated in the pigeon sport.
As a pigeon racing enthusiast, I know better than anyone how important proper nutrition is for our feathered athletes. But besides a balanced feeding regimen, grit and minerals are just as essential! Yet, I still see some fanciers paying too little attention to this. That's why today, my Pigeon Boss Tip: never underestimate the importance of grit and minerals!
If you want to give your marathon pigeons a natural performance boost, Herbovet Herbobeets is the perfect addition to their diet. This concentrated beet juice is one of the top products for improving endurance and recovery in pigeons. I’ve been using beet juice for years and have seen firsthand how it enhances oxygen efficiency and speeds up recovery after long flights.
Training racing pigeons is a crucial step in preparing for a successful flying season. Yet, I see many fanciers still approaching this the wrong way. As The Real Pigeon Boss, with decades of experience, I have developed a method that consistently delivers results. Here, I share my insights on the best approach to training your pigeons.
