This is a very special auction this week. I will be offering most of my foundation birds. I have moved to a new home and am retiring from my practice after 50 years. These are the parents to this year’s race team.

I have been racing pigeons for over 40 years winning 4 California State Hall of Fame, several  AU Champs and numerous Average Speed Awards This particular family is responsible for three All-American, 5 California State Hall of Fame winners, Awards, AU Hall of Fame Winners, three Walt Disney awards (best in California) and 100's of combine winners. Moreover, they are the most beautiful pigeons you will ever own. We are also very proud and thankful to the American Racing Pigeon Union for selecting Skylake Sions to receive the Elite Breeders Award for 2016. Please note some of the birds photos may be when they were younger.
