Stop of the basketing today

After the last 2 training toss, we know we did not get the best results of it, even if the last toss was better.  

At the moment we do not know what happen and lead us to that kind of results, because the pigeons are healthy.

But to completely exclude any diseases, we gave our vet different samples of the pigeons to review.
Till we get a result of the vet we decide to stop the races.

There is an article by Carlos Marques, who speaks of an similar case. The pigeons look healthy and strong, but come bad to home, although with the best weather. He speaks about a bacteria and viruses which have a direct impact on the sense of the homecoming sense.

The article will be published here tomorrow.

We are sure to have made the right decision.

8th Training Toss 55 KM with the new Benzing system

Last week from 22/07/2014 to 24/07/2014 we changed the old clock system to a new one from Benzing with Thomas Zimmermann. We have already reported several times about it.

It was the first official training toss yesterday with the new system of Benzing. There were a few technical problems with the new software, PC, Internert and the website and it took some time to removed. That's why we could start only at 13:00 clock to put the lists online.

We created 3 videos of the clock system change for you:
-Instalation Benzing system
-Test liberation to check the new Benzing system clocks
-Conclusion after the test liberation for the Benzing system

The last video is from the Training toss 55 KM.

(All video has subtitles in English, Deutsch and Español.)

Clarity about the training toss Espejo 35 KM

Now that we have ringed all pigeons to Benzing rings, we can finally provide clarity about the Espejo 35 KM training toss. There are still 10 or more pigeons arrive today that not yet listed in the list.

What happened on the training toss, we do not know. The weather was good, the pigeons in a great shape.
They came in small groups and then pulled away again out of sight, which means they are fit.

The indoor cameras have been damaged during the install of the Benzing system, at the moment only the outside camera work properly. We are working on it to fix the error.

On Monday we will basking the pigeons for Casa Tejada Alta 55 KM and all pigeons will fly with the new Benzing chips.

35 km Training Toss and Benzing

On Monday the 15th July we reported that we will switch to Benzing.

Yesterday we started with the conversion from the old to the new clock system of Benzing.

Because of this, many pigeons from the training toss of Espejo 35 Km have not been read by the clock because it was removed.

The training toss was not running optimally. The pigeons came from the wrong side and in many small groups. Pigeons that came late was in a very good form.


We are now starting to to couple the pigeons from the old rings to the new rings and then we test that the new system works properly. 

It will be also more comfortable to check your pigeons with the new list and there will be many more statistics details.

We are very pleased that we the Derby Cordoba racing in the future with Benzing the pigeons.

In the next days we will release some videos of the training toss, the visit of Thomas Zimmermann, the installation and much more.

First Live Training List

Today on 18/07/2014 at 7:15 as planned, we have liberated the pigeons with the live training list for the first time. Here in Puente Genil we had a power failure. The clock, however, is connected to an external car battery. Once power is restored here, the list will be posted online. On the training tosses the system is tested.

Since many pigeons come at once, all the pigeons can not be read by the Bricon system. On Tuesday and Wednesday we install a new system from Benzing. Thus, all pigeons also in a short race are recorded by the system.

We apologize for this, sorry

First basketing

The pigeons were basketed at night on 2nd. July for the first time. The pigeons ate and drank twice a day in the baskets. The basketing is not only to learn the pigeons eating and drinking in the baskets, also it is about to lose the fear of the baskets and the basketing progress. They learn the baskets in a familiar environment, near the loft.

In the next few days, the pigeons get electronic chips and then we will publish a current list of pigeons, also the prize money list will published on the registered paid pigeons.
