Niculescu-Burtin from
In fact the beginning of our friendship started with a call that one of my lost pigeons the 2002/6495178 entered the lofts of Mihai. So it was with pleasure that I gave the permission to hold this pigeon and breed out of it.
Two pigeon friends found a good partnership for racing in

That was the beginning of an honest relationship between real pigeon fanciers. Mihai ordered some time later some of my youngsters and apparently the crossing with his own blood streams was not so bad. In fact, that was not so a surprise for me, as my real inbreeded pigeons, the result of a passionate search of more then 30 years, had proven already at a lot of fanciers to match easily with their bloodlines. For mid- and long distance races. I already had a lot of thankful pigeon-friends, performing well with the input of my feathered friends. For me it was a pleasure receiving phone calls from fanciers of
Many thanks for this to Mihai and his lovely wife...I am convinced that with his passion and knowledge he will become a very repudiated Pigeon Fancier in

My passion for pigeons dates back since childhood, when my father used to keep pigeons for fun. Since 1968 I started to get involved with pigeon sport as a member of
Between 1988 and 1989 my pigeons got seriously ill and I wasn’t able to find a vet who could help me. For this reason, between 1990 and 1999 I went each and every year several times to
In 1999 I met Mr. Florin Moldovan, the greatest Romanian fancier, with the best national and international results. And the most important thing is that pigeons coming from this loft performed very well everywhere they have been sold, from 100 till 1.000 km, worldwide. Aside from the many local fanciers who achieved great results with his pigeons, there are also foreign lofts that did very well with Mr. Moldovan’s birds: Bardos Istvan, Nitroi Ferentz, Horvart Janos – Totobanyo from Hungary, Erik Limbourg – from Belgium, Eros Carboni from Italy, John Sulea – from USA, as well as many fanciers from China, Thailand, Germany, Croatia, Serbia, Greece, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Portugal, South Africa and so on and so forth.
Due to my friendship with this magnificent fancier I had the opportunity to learn a lot of interesting things about pigeons. Mr. Moldovan also offered me top quality birds from his best breeders and the most important thing is that I had the chance to meet a lot of local and foreign fanciers, men of real ability and character, with whom I had some interesting and useful conversation.
Gratitude to Mr Burtin by Mihai
What can be more beautiful in life than to become a chance to know him better, Mister Frans Burtin, a good pigeon fancier ,who is like a book of wisdom, whenever you open it you may discover new things, things YOU DID NOT KNOW BEFORE. There are some words here:” the friends of my friends are my friends “. I can ‘t think of anything more beautiful, keeping in mind that Frans is knowing very well also the Janssen family and still and regularly visits Louis the only still living and with his 98 years being a legend in the pigeon sport, still talking about memories from our beautiful pigeon sport.
And that’s not all, Frans knows many fanciers of
After we became friends, because of age and the bad sight due to his Macola disease, he had to give up racing himself and to reduce the amount of his birds, so I was very happy to become all his remaining breeding birds. I can admit that I was in high stress until the birds came to my farm .But all my doubts disappeared the moment his wonderful breeding birds arrived safely in my loft. It was quite an event to receive 20 pairs of pigeons with so special qualities, pigeons he became after more then 35 years searching and pairing, in fact a life time work. That became my property and matched so well pairing with my pigeons.
But pleasant surprises for me continued ,I learned much new and useful in racing, training and competition. Pigeons reproduction ,what nobody tells you about and often remains a secret for life. Frans Burtin was always very open and told me his experience of more then 35 years of breeding and racing pigeons. So I was thankfull and decided after we talked about, to fly together from 2009 in Bucharest under the loft name “Niculescu-Burtin team” .This year it shows out to be a very good team achieving extremely good results in the first racing of 2010:
25.04.2010: 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19………..155 km
02.05.2010: 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,……155 km
09.05.2010: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 13, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,..220 km
15.05.2010: A wonderful race: 2, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14,…… at 326 km from more then 5500 pigeons. These results can be seen on the net www.porumbel.net/Clasamente BB Bucuresti and then opening the flight.
I know that I am not the only one who is racing good after bringing in his pigeons in their loft and I also know that many fanciers are contacting him regularly to tell him their obtained results. This make him happy and gives him the opinion that he is still racing himself although he had to stop in 2005 after a wonderful career. I know that it will be very hard for him to stop definitively, doing away his last 12 couples at the end of this year. But on the other hand, it will be a bless for him to realize that he had be so lucky in having the opportunity to make a lot of good friends in his pigeon carriere. From fanciers to scientists. He will never forget Dr Mohr a repudiated Vet specialized in pigeons. It has always been a pleasure for him, to have the impression that he made friends making people happy . I know that he still feels hurt that an Italian loft, making wonderful results with crossing in his pigeons, reacted angry when this was published, although they also made him happy mailing regularly their fantastic results. He never understood the reason and is still sad about. This wonderful man with a piece of knowledge that is making jealous many outstanding pigeon fanciers in the world , will be very happy with his name appearing on the charts as long as a Niculescu-Burtin team is there in Rumenia. What could be more wonderful at a remarkable age ,than sit in the chair and receive weekly results from competitions when the name is derived from descendents Burtin , your birds and your work over 35 years, but continue with information of great price that can always improve results .
