Florin & Doina Moldovan, a family who turned pigeon sport into a peak performance sports
“Pigeon sport is like a temple for us, the same way our loft is the pigeon temple of our family. It’s not only the birds that we like, pigeons in particular, but we also love the races” -
Moldovan family is the most successful pigeon racing family in
The backyard of Moldovan family is the place where resides the loft with the best Janssen pigeons in

He will never forget his first hen... the first winning hen
He discovered his love for pigeons as a child, when one of his neighbors offered him a youngster. “There were some nests under the eaves of our house where my neighbors’ pigeons used to brood their eggs. One day a pigeon felt from his nest in our backyard and I asked my father if I could keep him. I was 5-6 years old back then. This is how it all started”, remembers
The years have passed and the first top results came along. “In 1965 I won my first race with a hen, ring number 178. I’ll never forget her. It was a blue hen with a little white tick around her eye.”
Love on top of the world
In 1975, because he was in love with everything that was flying, Florin married Doina, who was also a flyer. “My wife used to be a parachute jumper, national champion several times. She was a sports master, she jumped more than 1.000 times with the parachute and she joined the national parachute team for 11 years”, says the pigeon fancier. “After the birth of our daughter Laura, we started a “family competition”. We had our own team and the contests took place in the backyard, it was quite exciting”. Now they compete under the name of “Moldovan Family”, which also includes Laura, their daughter, her husband Dacian and their baby girl.
