Merpati Nellie dari Belanda Seharga Rp1,13M

Merpati Nellie dari Belanda Seharga Rp1,13M


IJsselstein - Anda penggila merpati tapi bermodal cekak? Jangan coba-coba untuk mimpi memiliki merpati Nellie dari Belanda ini. Harga merpati ini setara sedan mewah: Eur80.000,00 atau Rp1,13 miliar.

Merpati Nellie, tipe merpati pos dari kota IJsselstein, itu dibeli oleh penggila merpati dari Jepang yang berani merogoh brankasnya dalam-dalam. Dengan harga semahal itu, sebentar lagi merpati Nellie akan diterbangkan ke Negeri Sakura.

Apa sih kehebatan merpati Nellie? Dalam adu terbang merpati internasional pada musim panas lalu, merpati Nellie yang berusia 4 tahun itu mengalahkan -tak tanggung-tanggung- sebanyak 27.626 pesaing-pesaingnya.

Sejak saat itu telepon di rumah sang pemilik, yakni kakak beradik Wim dan Martin van Houten, tak henti berdering, demikian seperti dilansir De Telegraaf hari ini, Senin (26/10/2009).

Harga Rp 1,13 miliar itu sebenarnya agak kurang sreg diterima Wim dan Martin, yang sebenarnya meminta harga Eur200.000,00 atau setara Rp2,8 miliar. Namun, karena merpati top itu terus diincar maling, Van Houten bersaudara akhirnya melepaskannya juga.

Walikota IJsselstein bahkan sampai menugaskan polisi untuk ikut menjaga merpati Nellie. Jika malam hari, Van Houten bersaudara menyimpan merpati kesayangannya itu di lemari tempat tidur.

MATING

Males and females of most breeds of pigeons look somewhat alike, so the beginner should secure mated pairs from the breeder when buying. Pigeons for life unless the pairs are broken. Be cautious not to buy mated pairs that may be too old to produce fertile eggs. Each pair has its own quarters. This area (nest or perch) is forbidden to all others.
A smart bird manager does not disturb the birds’ “home.” Pigeons will nest at any time during the year, but extremely cold weather may cause eggs and squabs to freeze. Many pigeon breeders separate their cocks and hens in October and re-mate them in April rather than let them breed through the winter.
Doves usually begin nesting in April, and stop around October in cooler climates. To ensure production throughout the winter months, keep a light on in the pigeon loft. You can accomplish selective mating by breaking up mated pairs and isolating the desired pairs for 1 to 2 weeks. Within this period, the new pairs usually will be firmly mated and can be put back into the breeding pen. Record the date the eggs are laid and the number of young that hatch. Do not disturb or remove newly hatched squabs from the nest.
