Zulte, located in the province of East Flanders, is particularly known for the beautiful walking and cycling routes one can take there. For the football enthusiasts among us, the name will likely ring a bell with the former first division club Zulte Waregem. It is here that our host runs a pet specialty store together with his wife, namely "Hobbycenter Lefebre Bernard."
Bernard has always been a busy man, yet in 2016, despite his limited free time, he started with the pigeon sport. As the son of the well-known tandem Lefebre – Dhaenens, "pigeon racing" must have been in his blood, as Bernard immediately drew attention from the first seasons.
In the 2017-2018 seasons, his "Turbo" made waves in the national races, particularly from Bourges. Thus, "Turbo" was 1st Asduif Bourges PIPA Rankings, 3 prizes seasons '17-'18.
Every year, one had to keep in mind Bernard's top birds from the sprints to the long-distance flights. However, the 2022 season was truly a standout year. We summarize the most important performances from that season for you. Note, this concerns just one season, a record that most of us can only dream of after an entire pigeon career.
