AU MINUTE - "LITTLE BELGIUM"

Pigeon racing, as a competitive sport, was developed in Belgium.  There is an area near Tampa, Florida nicknamed "Little Belgium" because of the number of pigeon fanciers who move there.  That's where they go to retire, and participate in heavy racing competition.


The AU's Executive Vice President, Bill Mitiu, recently moved there.

RACHEL ANDERSON HILL

Although he would never admit it, one of the most successful racing pigeon fanciers in the region, and perhaps the world, is Tulsan Dr. John Lamberton. A retired university professor, Lamberton breeds, trains and races champion homing pigeons with the help of his wife, Morgan; three sons; three stepdaughters; and 10 grandchildren on his family ranch, which is tucked away on Lookout Mountain in west Tulsa.

Pigeon fanciers across the globe look to him to learn about everything from constructing the most effective lofts to his preferred pre-race diet, and he is showing them the tricks of the trade — secrets from the sport’s fancier legends — through a comprehensive website, video blogs and instructional DVDs.
