Many thanks to Fernando for passing this information to fellow fanciers who may suffer from this problem.

'My name is Fernando, and saw your article about Pigeon Breeder' Lung and thought the following might help you, so that you can continue doing what you like to do.
First, I do not have any pigeons, but as many in our childhood we had them and would love to have them again sometime in our life.   Once in a while I read articles about racing pigeons and subscribe to a magazine and this is how I found your website.  I used to have severe allergies to pollen, grass, trees, dogs, cats, etc..., but I had manage to lower my symptoms to where I hardly take any medications anymore.
In this website:  www.pigeon-lung.co.uk you can read an article where it tells you to reverse the air flow from the normal loft which is bottom to top and instead go from top to bottom, this helps I work in a clean room environment where air flow is from top to bottom.  You can also do a search in the web for nasal filters, they go inside your nose (get the sponge like, used in some beauty shops) I am sure those filters plus your mask will help.  In addition cover your hair as dust is collected in it and later on you will be breathing it and leaving it in your bed.  Wash your hair just before going to bed.   Avoid all fragances in your laundry, body soap, shampoo, etc...  In general take some load off your body so you can cope with pigeons
Finally, take ENZYMES this will give you more energy and is not expensive to give it a try. 
I hope you can continue to enjoy your hobby sincerely,
Fernando'

Pat Kleyn's results are in and at Mattawa he was 2-3-5-7-9-12 etc. and at Estaire he was 2-7-10

Joe Ferreira just called to say he was 2nd in both races.  Total results to come. Mike Valente's club strike off tomorrow.  see his results at www.thevalenteloft.com

I rode my bike over to Pat Kleyn's place to watch the arrival of the birds from 2 different race points, each from about 300km.  The winds were from the south at 20 km with humidity readings in the 32-36 range and temperature of 28 C. The first arrivals looked very good despite the unfavourable conditions. The time difference between birds was significant. As the calls started to come in from Joe Ferreira and Mike Valente it became apparent that this was going to be a tough weekend for the birds. Any birds with any health problems such as respiratory or trichomaniosis were out of the competition. Pat appears to have a good bird from Mattawa. This Evans bred bird is from a daughter of the Trump pair ( this pair are now in sunny Florida in Rick Vanveldhuisen's loft). This pair are responsible for a host of top racers and breeders throughout North America. As soon as the club and Combine results are posted I'll have them up.  

Mike Valente of Valente Loft racing strictly Evans birds scored the following:

240 km    3-4-5-6-13-14

158 km    1-2-10-11

Combine results  of Evans' birds: 69 lofts     1,051 birds

      4-5-12-13-29-34  Check out his web site www.thevalenteloft.com  

The forecast for racing in Ontario this weekend was gloomy. Rain was predicted for both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was a wash out and Sunday was marginally better. Many, many young birds were missing come Sunday evening and those that were raced were definitely stressed by the ordeal. Since the rain was all over the course the lofts on the short end should fair a lot better than the long end 65 miles further than the short. The Up North Combine released on Sunday and I drove up to Joe Ferreira's at noon time and encountered rain all the way up ( 16 miles).

The Evans' birds faired well in the rain:

Pat Kleyn in the North Wings club won both races. At 135 miles he was 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Joe Ferreira decided to claw back on his shipping and sent only 3 birds to each race and won the 130 mile race.

Combine results posted when available.

Updated report from Colin Crowe. Scotland
Hi Mark,
Hope you are your family are keeping well?
I must give you a call sometime and catch up with things and hopefully arrange a trip down. I thought I'd give you an update on just some of the highlights from the old bird racing this year. The following positions were all achieved by pigeons containing 100% M&D Evans bloodlines -
1st, 2nd & 3rd Club; 2nd, 4th & 5th Fed 1,584 birds
1st, 2nd & 3rd Club; 3rd, 4th & 5th Fed 1,378 birds
1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th & 7th Club; 1st, 7th, 9th, 13th, & 14th Fed 750 birds
1st, 2nd, 28th & 40th Open 437 birds
3rd & 4th Club; 32nd & 33rd Fed 1,528 birds
Not only that Mark, other fanciers are winning races and topping Feds with your bloodlines bred by myself. It just proves that this remarkable family of pigeons are continuing to win being generations from the top breeders. They are a totally awesome family of pigeons that I'm very proud to have in my lofts.
Kind regards,
Colin Crowe.

Gaby Vandenabeele. Belgium
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, 16, 18, 21, 35, 38, 71, 74, 80, 81 Provinciaal 4,933 birds.
I am often asked if Gaby is still achieving top results with his bloodlines. Well the answer is YES as you can see with the outstanding result which was achieved only this last week from almost 5,000 birds. This result shows that the great master is still as strong as ever and his bloodlines are still capable of winning in the strongest of competition.
