THE EAGLES OF ATLAS

Baqasse Brothers Racing Pigeon Loft in Marrakesch Morocco


  Copyright © 2007

Our loft consists of brothers Baqasse Ahmed, Brahim, Youssef and the son of Ahmed Yahia. The Loft is situated in Marrakech, which is known as the pearl of the south in Morocco.

Marrakech lies at the foot of the atlas mountains (4.165 meters), it is one of three cities (the other two cities are Fes and Rabat) that are known as the kings cities.

Marrakech is a word that comes from the language of the Berbers and is from this city Morocco gets it name.

Since we were children, Pigeons have fascinated us but, because of school, living and working abroad the creation of the loft moved to the future. In 2004 we decided to create a racing pigeons loft.

These became a middle distance pigeons as well as pigeons for the "extreme long distance".

For the flights from the south for example from Laayoune wich is 950 kms from Marrakech, 500 kms of this flight is over the Sahara. After overcoming the desert, the pigeons face into the challenge of flying over the Atlas mountains. We have introduced pigeons of extreme long distance for this kind.

Our goal is to create a long distances pigeons strain in which all pigeons have the ability to fly routes from the Sahara and over the atlas.
