INTRODUCING MY DAUGHTER GRACIE PARSONS
fresh with a brilliant and knowledgeable atti- tude towards pigeons, with a charming personality towards us humans so please come to Doncaster and visit us all on her first stand. Gracie has basicaly took over the helm, steadied our ship and this year we will be pairing up mid December so we can supply many more top fanciers early yound birds.
Gracie started out with racing pigeons at the very early age of six. She would follow me into the breeding loft and before I knew it she would remove the nest bowls with babies in and tidy them up. She was always very calm with them and them with her.
Gracie’s knowledge in the breeding loft is also an inspiration to me as she just remem- bers everything at first sight. As you all can see by the photos that I have from over the years my Gracie’s love for pigeons is very easy to see.
Our families of birds consist of Dirk van den Bulck (direct Flanders Breeding Ireland) these are winning four generations, Leo Heremans winning from day one we have a small but very select family, Grondelaers Hofkens (formed since 1997) ‘King Kall’ bloodlines are now seven generations and still topping Feds, Gregs Rockets (Poland) topped Fed this year.

As most people know that I went through a very bad time in 2020 both health wise plus separating from my wife and kids leaving me all alone in our marital home, this plus covid, a hip replacement and loosing my wife and kids seriously affected my mental health and all of this resulted in me announcing that I was retiring from the sport completely! This is where my Gracie stepped in again and reas- sured me that she would be fully committed and how grateful I am as leaving my life of 39 years in pigeons behind me would have killed me off. Now I have the pleasure of introducing my Gracie albeit into the declining sport of pigeon racing. She is young, fully commited,
Approved for T3 Battery and Servicing. We will be at The Racing Pigeon Doncaster Show Saturday 4th November situated on the curtain wall.
