(Click on the pictures for more!) Before you spend any money on my birds, just in case you have an existing problem with your birds first call The Pigeon Doctor at 1-347-556-6965. Things to completely understand about these StraightStassartsBaladin.com race pigeons:
$400 a Pair After all these years these birds are now clones of Baladin. Ernest Elliot bred from half-brother and half-sister ever since 1944 and I continue to do so. Stassart Stassart flew these birds from 1890 until 1939. Stassart's Baladin and Curtis' A, B, C, D Stassarts still exist because Ernest Elliott understood line breeding. At the height of long distance racing, when there were more long distance racers, Stassart flew Baladin himself for eight years winning 9 long distance races. Elliott Ernest Elliot flew these birds from 1925 until 1991. He learned line breeding from his cousin, an English master breeder. Ernest then taught me, Bill Willix, and now I want to teach you that you must start with a champion cock bird, not just a relative, from at least 5 generations of hard race 500 mile winners. Elliott flew Baladins #900 for eight years winning 21 diplomas, which include 3 times first place at 500 miles and 3 times second place at 500 miles. Marciano's brother wasn't a heavyweight champion. You must start with the champion, not a relative. Baladins #900 lived for 21 years. Willix Upon Ernest Elliot's passing, Bill Willix inherited these birds in 1991 and still flies them today. Willix flew Baladins Shadow for eight years in 86 races in a row. Shadow won 1st, 2nd or 3rd at 250, 300, 400, 500 (only two day birds) and 600 miles (only seven 2nd day birds). Shadow was in the top 6 of more than a dozen long distance races. Now that you're learning about line breeding you can realize how misleading the term "pure" Stassarts is. Starting with the one Champion cock bird the correct term is "straight" Stassarts Baladin. |

Just Keep Them Healthy and they will do the rest Every famous pigeon flyer you know by name, Sion, Stassart, Bastin, etc. all used an avian diagnostician to keep their birds on top in the long hard races. Everything these birds do right is your fault and everything they do wrong is your fault and it all starts with an avian diagnostician, three weeks before the first race and, once racing, every three weeks. The Pigeon Doctor, Anton, 1-347-556-6965 is Dr. Pigeon's protégée. A great loss for our hobby, Dr. Pigeon has passed away. Call The Pigeon Doctor (Anton Fountain, 129 Sunnyside Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11207) at 1-347-556-6965 and for only $20 get a complete parasite and bacteria analysis of your pigeon's droppings. Click HERE for more on keeping your birds healthy. Who is Right? I'm certainly not the greatest pigeon racer in the world but I do know how to keep race pigeons healthy. There are many roads to Rome! It wasn't Stassart, it wasn't Elliott, it wasn't Tad (TNT) Loft and it isn't me or Tim (Journey's End) Loft... It's the Birds! $400 a Pair All of my birds are raced, I have no stock birds. I only breed from my birds that have performed in races that have exceeded 12 hours. Ernest Elliott had a favorite saying, "Marciano's brother wasn't a heavyweight champion. So you want youngsters from Marciano not from his brother". The more Joe Lewis' you breed from in a row, the better chance you have of breeding winners. As long as you use the pigeon doctor Anton Fountain, I will replace any bird that dies. Also, if you should ever loose interest in them I'll buy them back. 973-263-1966 Mailing address: The Ancients The world’s long distance race pigeon (The Ancients) came from Persia through Beeraerts to Ulens to Vekeman (Beeraerts was the loft manager for both Ulens and Vekeman) to the Western World, Wegge, Crooter, Hansenne, Delathouwer, Bastin, Stassart, Sion, etc. Then, The Ancients came to the USA through Curtis and Heitzman, to Elliott, to Willix, to you! “Curtis, Heitzman, and now Willix made/make these ancient imports available to the average working man.” - Bill Willix Mealys - Red, Opal, Mosaic, Blue, Chocolate Tornado is a mealy. The word mealy, is not a color. It's a word meaning "liar". (That's why we call liars "mealy mouths".) Once a mealy appears in your family of pigeons, all colors are possible. The only exception is a mealy hen. All her sons will be Ash. The ancient Persian Bagdad Carrier Line will never be eliminated from the Long Distance Homing Pigeon, Noah's Rock Doves. | ||

How Tornado Got His Name With only five day birds Tornado won a 300 mile race during a tornado by one hour. With only six second day birds Tornado made this picture in the rain. He was one of only six birds home on a 500 mile race on the second night. I waited until 10pm and went home. The lights were on in the building my loft is on. The building has big plate glass windows. When he did come home he must have thought he could go through the window. He hit it so hard he was still knocked out in the morning. The imprint of his feather powder flying off his body hitting the window and sticking to it is shown in this picture. |
