California is the third largest in terms of area and by far most populous state (about 38 Mill.) Of the United States of America. It lies in the west of the country, bordering the Pacific Ocean, states Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Baja California. The official nickname of California is "Golden State": A beautiful country with a great climate beautiful beaches, good wine and the crazy Hollywood of Los Angeles and the most beautiful city of the west coast of San Francisco!

In July this year Markus Bauer visited the United States to the amazing-wings agent Alex Bieche in Vacaville (California) meet.

With a rental car it went from San Francisco towards the capital of California, Sacramento. After a good hour's drive, I reached the small town of Vacaville where Alex Bieche is at home.

Alex Bieche is already emigrated in his early youth of Germany to the United States and in his long career made as pigeon breeders a big name in America.

In California, where there are about 850 active pigeon fancier he asked countless AS-pigeons and won several "one-loft races" in America.

Last year he exhibited again at his club the first & 2. AS-dove (young pigeons). Of course, they come from "German" doves of Günter Prange (line Ringlose and Euro Star) via Thomas Wessels and Amazing wings and bought females from Paul Huls.

The travel season for youngsters starts by the high temperatures in California until the end of August with 8 Betting flights up to 350 Miles (560 km). The youngsters are almost through the moult because they were bred as early as January. The old birds there are 10 races are up to a distance of about 950 km away.

Visiting Alex made me a "tour" on his beautiful estate and shows me his great & thoroughly engineered shock system. And I informed Alex Bieche about the changes in Amazing Wings (Martin Stiens & Rene Becker and Alex Mack resigned as co-owners). Markus Bauer and Gerald Mack are now more the sole shareholders (50/50) of Amazing Wings.

From 01 September, the new auction season with really great pigeons starts at Amazing Wings. "Class" instead of "mass" of the slogan will be in the future! It tries to make also photograph all offered pigeons of Yella in Belgium professional future. Even the pigeons auctioned providing for a fast delivery and settlement.

Particularly noteworthy is the cooperation with www.brieftauben-markt.de. Since brieftauben-markt.de itself as an information platform for the pigeon sport understands and amazing-wings as an auction platform was a collaboration between the two close. This will be done for the benefit of all customers from 01 September 2016th

After seeing the impact plant and its exceptional good and beautiful breeding and racing pigeons from Alex Bieche we chatted over lunch about the current current German and Belgian Topschlägen and their pigeons and supply.

Then I said goodbye at the sympathetic couple Cindy & Alex Bieche and thanked him for the hospitality romped and wished "good flight" for the tourist season from the end of August 2016!
