Team Manuel Silva Sousa

Team Manuel Silva Sousa is a family loft – close family relations and a huge passion for the pigeonsport!
The origins on the loft are built from Kannibaal lines via Op De Beeck-Baetens and their foundation breeder MISTER KANNIBAAL – added toplines from Gaston Van De Wouwer and Dirk Van Dyck.

The loft is situated in the Aveiro district in Portugal and the especially the last 6 seasons have been extraordinary!

Eventhough the team has had a lot of results in their career, one pigeon sticks out – RUBY!

He was crowned 1. FCI World Best Pigeon Speed in 2023 and won 7 x 1. prizes.
Today the loft is built up around this family – several brothers and sisters have won a lot of topresults!

RUBY was sold to Herbots and in 2024 he bred his first champion FRAN:
1. World Best Pigeons Middledistance 2025 Belgium
3. National Acepigeon G.M.D. KBDB 2025

The Herbots family chose to sell RUBY and his sister to China in 2025, so today this family is very famous in China.
RUBY has already bred toppigeons there!

We wish the Team Manuel Silva Sousa all the best of luck in the new season!
