‘Odar’ – A Game-Changing Addition to the Ebben Family
‘Odar’ was personally selected by Falco during a visit to Bas Verkerk in the autumn of 2019. In search of fresh blood to strengthen the already successful Ebben family, he chose this exceptional pigeon—a decision that quickly proved to be the right one.
