FRANK ZWIERS – TERHEIJDEN

By many Frank Zwiers is called the Kroonprins of the Dutch (Marathon) pigeon sport. What he has achieved in the past few years is really unbelievable! It all started over 20 years ago when Frank first consciously came into contact with the pigeon sport. Although the love for birds is present in Frank’s family, a friend at secondary school who had pigeons with her father was the moment that he got serious interest in the pigeon sport.

It was in 2011 that Frank Zwiers came into contact with the national long distance topper Mark vd Berg from IJsselmuiden. Frank had bought a beautiful blue hen (Golden Future) from Arjan Beens on the internet who appealed to him on the photo very much. And so in March 2011 suddenly Frank Zwiers had his first real marathon hen and he called Mark vd Berg to ask if he had a cock that he could borrow. Mark had 5 pigeons, 2 couples and 1 cock on loan for Frank to breed with. And that was the start of an enormously succesful episode in his pigeon life.

In January 2016 he decided to move to Terheijden with his wife and kids. In the years 2013 to 2016, great successes were achieved with the cherry on the pie being the 2 National victories in 2016. Frank decided to auction the complete racing team and made a restart in the garden of his new pigeon paradise in Terheijden. Through various pigeon friends he got some late youngsters to start with and from club mate Ad van Dongen, Frank got some marathon racing pigeons mainly from Frank’s own strain. The first season at the new address in 2017 was a great success and Frank Zwiers eventually became 4th National champion on the marathon and “Neo” became the 4th National Ace on the marathon. Frank Zwiers was ready for the next chapter and switched to the international ZLU races in 2018 with his Mark van den Berg, Arjan Beens & Jelle Jellema pigeons…and the rest is history. Nowadays Frank Zwiers is one of the very best marathon fanciers in The Netherlands !
