It was a long, long time ago that I fell in love with pigeons. when I was 4 years old, living in Yugoslavia, a friend of the family gave me a pair of pigeons. That memory is still vivid in my mind. I can still remember how they felt in my hand and I can even remember what they smelled like. See Picture. From that time on I have always had pigeons. At first I didn't know what kind they were - they were just pigeons. Later on, as a teenager, I started to fly Serbian High Flyers. I did this for a period of time, then later on I heard about Tipplers and that cought my attention.
