SARS-CoV-2 – A virus that paralyzes many things

A virus that paralyzes many things

The past year has brought many changes in the world, including the world of pigeon lovers. Despite all the restrictions that have been imposed on us since spring, we were able to complete the majority of our long-distance flights, albeit with a delay. We had to learn, implement and ultimately observe the new AHA rules and, in connection with this, we also had to forego some processes or habits that we had grown fond of. But the core of our hobbies, the daily occupation with the animals as well as the long-distance flights with the homecoming of our "racers" as weekly recurring highlights, we were allowed to pursue and experience largely unrestricted. In times of lockdown, this can certainly be seen as a privilege. Unfortunately, numerous regional events had to be canceled due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. The pigeon market fair in Kassel and the DBA in Dortmund did not take place either. So, of course, we lack the cherished exchange among like-minded people and the view beyond our own "box" in the quieter time for us pigeon breeders to maintain the mutual exchange. For us, trade fairs are always a good platform for sharing news and giving you new perspectives. Our big raffle of pigeons from the breeders of the Röhnfried Racing Team is also very important to us. That's why we chose an alternative way during the pandemic phase and hope that the lucky fairy will give the winners new hope and the chance to maybe have won a breeding ace. If you are holding this Courier 2021 in your hands, you have probably already received our first of three DVDs produced in the Röhnfried TV series "Berger asks" via the magazine "die Brieftaube". If not, you can get this from your Röhnfried dealer or send us a stamped addressed envelope. In this DVD format, I discuss breeding (DVD No. 1), adult animal journey (DVD No. 2) and young animals (DVD No. 3) with breeders from the Röhnfried Racing Team, giving them free and unedited insights into the concepts and thoughts and practices of these top breeders. Be inspired by the methods of the master strokes and benefit from the experience of our reference breeders. 2021 will definitely be a year full of hopes, carried by overcoming the pandemic and a return to our normal life. For us carrier pigeon breeders it will hopefully be another year with many healthy and vital youngsters and few unpredictable weather. We hope that we will meet you again in the autumn and winter on and between the exhibition stands and rows of cages, where you can talk to breed friends about one of the most beautiful hobbies there is in this world. So I wish you and your family a good time and stay healthy!
