Family tradition.
Passion and experience.
Simon, Beat and Patrick Hirschi share a love of racing pigeons. Simon built his first loft in 1951. Today we combine his experience with focused training, careful breeding and digital analysis of our results.
Our sporting home is at the foot of the Jura in Niederbipp. Since 2013, the Hübelimatt small animal facility has been our base: surrounded by fields, with peace for the pigeons and a clear view of their return.
Everyone brings their own strength.
Simon takes care of the pigeons and the loft every day. Beat and Patrick handle training and basketing. Patrick also manages pedigrees and digital analysis, bringing experience and new possibilities together.
From a young age, the pigeons get to know their carers. Time spent in the loft and hand feeding build trust. For us, this bond is as much a part of pigeon racing as performance on the flight home.
