Gerard van Tuyl – Hellouw
!! GERARD VAN TUYL IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MARATHON ICONS IN HOLLAND !! His pigeon strain is based on the topclass pigeons from the foundation of the Dutch marathon pigeons: Ernest-van Zantvoort-Lazeroms-van Zelderen. Especially the birds from Theo Ernest were very valuable for Gerard when building his own kind of pigeon!!
Very important to be aware of is that it is not old fame, BECAUSE THE BEST INTERNATIONAL BARCELONA PIGEON 2017-2018-2019 “ORANGE OIL” from Gerard Schalkwijk…is a granddaughter of HALFBROER RODICO (owner Frans Bungeneers). RODICO is the 1st International Barcelona 2006 winner from Gerard van Tuyl !!!
The long distance crack from Hellouw is probably the pigeon fancier with the best nightflyers in the Netherlands. Many times he clocked series of pigeons in the middle of the night or very early in the morning from many extreme long distance flights. A couple of years ago, Gerard didn’t have a very relaxed sleep when the pigeons from Angeloume returned because he clocked 22 pigeons in the middle of the night!! But also the international winner from Pau was clocked at 04.41am ; the 3rd international Perpignan was clocked at 06.10am ; the international Barcelona winner, RODICO, probably flew during the nightly hours, otherwise he could not have been clocked at 7.04am ; the national Brive winner was clocked at 06:00am with a 3 hour lead and the national winner of M & R de Bruin, a direct Gerard van Tuyl pigeon, was also clocked at 5.22 am.
What is the origin of his strain of pigeons?
In Gerard’s lofts you can find pigeons of the Van Zantvoort brothers, St. Michielsgestel (Jan & Theo Ernest, Adrianus van der Wegen and Lazeroms/van Zelderen), Hagens brothers, Achthuizen and the late Theo Ernest (stockbreeders DON PEDRO and DE VAN ZELDEREN). About 75 % has the blood of the Theo Ernest species running in their veins. Gerard has already been buying his pigeons from Ernest ever since 1993 and he also took over Ernest’s last ten pigeons.
Characteristics of Gerard’s pigeons:
* pear shaped
* small feathers (swallow type)
* fly in any kind of weather
* night flyers
* very (!!) soft plumes
Due to this characteristic, the great urge to come home in combination with the enormous endurance of his pigeons, Gerard van Tuyl won much! Very much! Six times he won a 1st National Marathon flight, which resulted also in two International victories! This big champion won:
1 International Barcelona
1 International Pau
1 National Brive
1 National St Vincent
1 National Ruffec
1 National hens Narbonne
2 National Aurillac
2 National Brive
2 National hens Marseille
2 National hens Narbonne
3 International Perpignan
3 National St Vincent
3 National Bergerac (+ carwinner)
Gerard van Tuyl also won the CUP VAN WALLONIE at International Barcelona, and the prestigious title “Keizer van de Grote Fond ZLU”, 1st Super Prestige ZLU, 1st Pyreneen Cup, 1st Champions league, 2nd Europe Cup, 2nd Europe Marathon.
The JONGE DAX from Gebr. Van Santvoort is one of the stock pigeons in the loft. Probably because 25% of his blood is from good short distance pigeons, the JONGE DAX is the pigeon responsible for the “night flying” of the van Tuyls. It was a direct daughter from JONGE DAX, DEN BRIVE, who won the 1st National Brive with 3 hours lead, clocked early in the morning. A son of DEN BRIVE, the DONKERE BRIVE surely got his mother’s genes too as he arrived 3 times around 05.15 in the morning. He in turn became the father of cracks like NACHTVLINDER and NACHTFEE who repeated this piece of art. The NACHTFEE did it twice! She arrived from Perpignan at 00:15am and at 01.45am. Generation after generation toppers are born with this quality. A hen that was spared during the very tragic theft at Gerard van Tuyl is the PERPIGNAN 27, the winner of the 3rd International Perpignan in 2001. Together with a few of her best children, the PERPIGNAN 27 has been very valuable in building the stock, with the most successful results achieved by the pairing with TWIN and DONKERE BRIVE.
