Welcome to the website of Will & Falco Ebben

The uncle-nephew duo of Will & Falco Ebben, based in Leeuwen, the Netherlands, has been a dominant force in Dutch pigeon racing for over 20 years. Competing from relatively small lofts, they’ve consistently achieved top results against the sport’s biggest names.

A Proven System Since 2002

Their partnership began in 2002, racing from Will’s loft with just 12 pairs of old birds using the total widowhood system, along with 20 to 25 youngsters raced from both lofts. Since 2020, they’ve also raced with up to 16 pairs of old birds from Falco’s location—yet despite these modest numbers, their impact has been anything but small.
