Since 2020, Falco has also been racing with old birds from his own address (under the name Combinatie Ebben), and he has consistently ranked among the champions in the largest competitions — all with just a handful of birds. The loft houses a maximum of 16 pairs of old birds and around 40 young birds.

In 2021, 2022, and 2023, he secured a top-12 position among the Best Fanciers of the Netherlands each year, along with at least one provincial victory annually and numerous championships within the section. The highlight came with winning the General Championship in Afdeling 8 both 2023 and 2024 (out of 1,615 members). In addition, he claimed the Silver Pigeon award in 2022 and 2023. Winning the Golden Pigeon remains at the top of Falco’s wish list.
