The clock is ticking! On Sunday, 11 October 2026, the Amazing Wings auction featuring descendants of some of Willem de Bruijn Auction, most celebrated bloodlines is scheduled to reach its conclusion.
For ambitious pigeon fanciers looking to strengthen their breeding lofts, this is the moment to take a serious look at what is on offer.
Some names in pigeon racing need no introduction. Willem de Bruijn is certainly one of them.
From Reeuwijk in the Netherlands, De Bruijn has built an extraordinary reputation through generations of racing excellence, disciplined selection and proven breeding quality.
Now, with the final auction day approaching, fanciers have an opportunity to bid on pigeons carrying bloodlines associated with his successful breeding family.
And with Sunday approaching fast, there is little time left to make a decision!
A Collection With Some Serious Pedigree Power
The Amazing Wings auction features 19 pigeons bred by Michel Lossignol, with pedigrees connecting several lots to renowned Willem de Bruijn breeding lines.
For enthusiasts who study pedigrees, names such as Uranus, Olympic and Zidane immediately attract attention.
These are not merely fashionable names. They represent breeding families associated with serious achievements in international pigeon racing.
Among the particularly interesting offerings are:
Grande Uranus and Double Uranus
Two pigeons bred around the famous Uranus family. According to the auction pedigrees, both combine a grandson of Uranus with a granddaughter of the same influential Willem de Bruijn breeder.
For fanciers looking to introduce or consolidate Uranus blood in their breeding loft, these are certainly pedigrees worth studying.
Olympic Girl and Tiny Olympic Mouse
These two hens bring together offspring of the influential breeding cock Olympic, NL14 1060442.
The auction descriptions identify both parents as direct descendants of Olympic, creating a concentrated pedigree around this important foundation bird.
Wemke and Willy
These pigeons connect the De Lambrechts breeding family with descendants of Olympic. Their pedigrees also feature a pigeon described in the auction as a 2025 KBDB National Ace Pigeon, ranked 13th.
Wieke and Winston
Both feature the bloodline of Zidane, another familiar name associated with Willem de Bruijn, alongside the De Lambrechts and Hurricane families.
The collection also includes pigeons connected to Olympic Geert, Felix and other accomplished Belgian breeding families.
Each lot deserves individual attention. A famous ancestor is one consideration, but pedigree structure, breeding objectives and the individual pigeon should always guide a purchasing decision.

Why Willem de Bruijn Bloodlines Continue to Attract Attention
In our previous Pigeon Boss feature, The Master of Reeuwijk, we explored the remarkable influence of Willem de Bruijn’s colony on modern racing pigeon breeding.
The story reaches far beyond the achievements in his own loft.
Pigeons carrying De Bruijn blood have contributed to outstanding performances for other successful fanciers, illustrating why these families continue to command international interest.
One particularly important example is Uranus, whose influence extends through descendants such as Secretariat.
These established breeding lines are part of the reason serious fanciers continue to study the De Bruijn pedigrees.
Of course, no pedigree guarantees a champion. Successful pigeon racing still demands intelligent pairing, careful management, sound health and proper selection.
But beginning with a family that has demonstrated breeding potential across generations is an understandable ambition for any competitive loft.
