My name is Stuart Wilcox from Bristol in the UK and I am a lifelong pigeon fancier. In 2018 I met Dick De Leeuw at the “Gouden Duif “ in Antwerp and after a few beers in fact many beers he suggested I tried some of the BEYERS range of corns. Part of my breeding stock is from Albert Derwa who had always talked of the quality of BEYERS so for me it was an exciting prospect.

In the UK we have quite varied racing, the majority of the races are from France which means the pigeons have to fly the Channel. In good weather, this is ok but weather patterns and winds are often unpredictable so it is often the case that pigeons have to fly longer hours to get home. I often hear the term feed to win, however in modern times I believe the fancier also has to have an eye on feed to allow a pigeon to come home, even when it makes a mistake. Our race program starts at 100km and finishes at 960 km’s. Whilst it’s true to say that not all my pigeons compete all the way through to the final race, I do house my middle and long distance pigeons together and I feed them on the same system.

I spent some time studying the various mixtures that BEYERS offered, one thing I really liked was that some mixtures were linked to certain fanciers and there was lots of information and videos (You-tube) explaining various methods. It was easy for me; I wanted to fly a middle distance pigeon like Gerad & Bas Verkerk and a distance pigeon like Gerard Koopman. What I also took into account was that Gerard Koopman and Gerard & Bas Verkerk are both famed for their performances on very heavy flights and this suited the problems we encountered racing the English Channel.

In 2019 we combined PREMIUM VERKERK SPORT and PREMIUM KOOPMAN ALL-in-ONE  as our main racing mixture. Straight away we spotted some real differences in the pigeons, soft plumage and plump muscles with a nice pink tone and the birds were really active. We noticed a massive uplift in the birds exercise around the loft and the birds would really fly with zest. I work so I have to leave every morning at 7.30am, its always a risk that I cannot get my pigeons in on time, esp when they exercise really well however what we also noticed on this feeding system is that once the traps were open the birds would quickly enter the loft which we put down to the liking of the Peanuts in the KOOPMAN ALL-in-ONE mixture. The cocks are feed add-lib twice a day and the hens once a day.

Vanaf het moment dat Wal Zoontjens in 1968 volledig zelfstandig met duiven begon te spelen in Riel (NL) is hij nooit bij de kampioenen weg geweest.
Al in de jaren ’30 van de vorige eeuw was vader Jan Zoontjens op zoek naar betere verzorgingsmethoden. Zijn leidraad hierbij was het boek ‘Voeding, vitaminen en duiven’ van Arie van den Hoek.

Zijn visie vormde de basis voor de mengelingen die Wal Zoontjens samen met de BEYERS Technical Consultants ontwikkelden en sinds 1989 vrijgaven voor gebruik voor alle liefhebbers wereldwijd, BEYERS WAL ZOONTJENS YELLOW. “De enige echte! Le seul, le vrai!” met handtekening van de grootmeester.

BEYERS PREMIUM WAL ZOONTJENS YELLOW blijft nog altijd een ideale basismengeling voor elk voederschema.

BEYERS heeft deze film over het voederschema en speelsysteem van Wal Zoontjens gemaakt in samenwerking met Frans Strikker (SimulPlus) en Falco Ebben (PigeonPixels).
