The O’Donnell card labels this one plainly: "a very close inbred to Miss Maurice, brother × sister mating." The sire is a full brother to Miss Maurice, the dam a full sister, so all four grandparents reduce to two pigeons — Star Boy and the mother of Miss Maurice. Every youngster from this mating carries Miss Maurice’s own grandparents, doubled.
From the O’Donnell card: INBRED MISS MAURICE, BROTHER × SISTER MATING — and Maurice’s own line, "ideal for crossing into another family"
The Sire — a full brother to Miss Maurice
By Star Boy out of B16-6037045
Miss Maurice won the Knockout in the South Africa Million Dollar Race 2020, was best bird over five Hotspots and the Final combined, and was purchased by Lendos Family Lofts in the USA for $70,000. She has since bred a winner of an OLR in Mexico and 5th in the Evolution Final OLR over 365 miles in the USA.
Star Boy (B16-6037050) — the O’Donnell foundation cock, father to Miss Maurice (SAMDPR 2020 Knockout Winner), Miss Debbie (1st Pattaya International OLR) and Sapsan (co-winner, Algarve Golden Race). Sire and grandsire to winners across Europe, America, Canada, Mexico, China and Thailand. He now stands at Ganus Family Lofts in the USA.
In short: the sire line is the O’Donnell foundation, and it is the reason this family sells worldwide.
The Dam — a full sister to Miss Maurice
By the same sire, out of the same dam
B16-6037045 — the mother of Miss Maurice and a direct daughter of Polo Barcelona, National Ace Pigeon from Barcelona at 1,100km three years running: 2017, 2018 and 2019.
