Harald Calis: “Marcel helped my getting fantastic pigeons to our lofts- but for me even just as interesting was how he homes his pigeons. Marcel told me ‘I will help you- give you advice- but you must follow only my advices and do not listed to others anymore’. I agreed and he gave us his schedule and advised me. Very soon already our results went upwards and within a few years we were at the top of provincial racing! We are really grateful for Marcels guidance.”
