For health reasons, there has been less active participation in flights at their own loft over the past 2 years, but the references of the Van Ark pigeons at other lofts and one-loft races (Avirings Derby, Derby Hungary...) speak volumes. These carefully selected thoroughbreds are ready to make their new owner happy!
