Happy 91st Birthday Hans Eijerkamp

[sapper756]

Today we celebrate a remarkable milestone: Hans Eijerkamp turns 91 years old! 🌟🎉

For more than 75 years, Hans has dedicated his life to his lifelong passion, the pigeon sport.  
What began in the 1950s has grown into an extraordinary legacy: the transformation of Greenfield stud in Brummen into one of the most renowned racing-pigeon lofts in the world. 🕊️🌍

With his son Evert-Jan, Hans developed the celebrated Eijerkamp strain, rooted in legendary bloodlines such as Janssen, Van Loon, Leo Heremans and Leideman.  
Among his many favourites was the iconic pigeon “De Oude Bange” a bird that still features in the pedigrees of today’s top-performing pigeons like Zoe! 🧡

Even now, at 91, Hans remains actively involved, celebrating every new success at Team Eijerkamp. A standout moment in recent years: the acquisition of the famous “Geeloger” cock and the welcoming of two super pigeons for the 2026 Olympiad in Dortmund, Olympic Evelyne and Olympic Amber.✨

Hans, we wish you many more happy moments among your beloved pigeons and with your wife Hilma. May the coming year bring joy, fulfilment and even greater flight paths. 🍀

Happy 91st birthday! 🥂
