Else is a vital member of the team, responsible for nurturing and training schedules for the\u00a0 YB pigeons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brakstad&#8217;s love of pigeons began at a young age, and she&#8217;s been racing them for over a decade. She&#8217;s dedicated countless hours to honing her skills and knowledge of the sport, always striving to improve her techniques and raise the bar for her birds. She is a pioneer and co-owner of the company Pigeon Vitality together with her husband Dr. Frode Brakstad.
