Judging whether it is a purebred pigeon or a hybrid: the 10 main wings of the pigeon should be the same shape, but the size of the area is gradually increased from 1 to 10, such as purebred pigeons of Belgian descent, the front of the finger feathers is square, and the round front is impure. If you go through a single hybrid, the 10 main wings will have two different shapes, and if you go through the second mix, the 10 main wings will have three different shapes. Carrier pigeons with wide feathers and rounded corners at the top often indicate that the pigeon's pedigree is relatively pure and the breeding value is relatively high. The tail end of the wing is darker in color: genetically preferable. Due to the pure genetic pigeon, the mouth of the inbreed pigeon is white or mussel colored, especially near the nose wax (jade) color, the higher the composition, and the tip of the mouth is generally darker. Some pigeons are different in color due to the same mating method, and the easiest way is to look at the sun and if the corners of the mouth appear to be colored, the individual should not be a hybrid pigeon. The shafts of hybrid pigeons are dark black and stout, while the shafts of inbred individuals have a white line or nearly off-white in the middle of the shafts, and the surrounding colors are also lighter, especially the ends of the feather shafts. We can only observe the main feather.
When the pigeon is at its peak: the wings will bend inward towards the body, the left and right wings will cross on the tail, and when the wings are opened, the curvature of the wings will go down, and the cup mouth will form under the wings. At this time, the best entries are entered.
Cleverness: The ideal pigeon should be able to stay calm and agile in and out of the loft, calmly and quickly dealing with unexpected situations. Which pupils constrict like needles in the sun indicate that this pigeon is very intelligent. The whole eyeball keeps turning, and when the person is not close, it just stares at you with its eyes, the whole head and neck rotate frequently, the feet are constantly moving positions, and sometimes the tail is cocked, and the front chest is pressed down. Like being ready to rush out, sometimes you don't stay in one position for long, and you immediately change to a position you think is safe. As soon as a man approaches, he shoots out like an arrow off the string, and it is difficult for you to catch him easily, that is, it falls into the pigeons, because it drills like a rat, and it is very fast, like an athlete trotting, it stands on the ground tired, it will fly to the iron net and hang on it. Pigeons stand in the same place every night and are still high. Young pigeons (about ten days) are better off opening their mouths when they see someone reaching out, and those who behave docile should be regarded as general. The carrier pigeon with the long main feather indicates the heart of this pigeon. The carrier pigeon that can be quiet for a long time indicates that the internal strength of this pigeon is as quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit; this point can be observed from the morning after entering the shed, the pigeon in the nest, stacked up to indicate that the pigeon is full of internal strength. With sharp eyes, high eyes, the smarter they are the closer they are to the top of the head and above the corners of the mouth, and the center of the pupils is best above the extension line of the mouth, such pigeons are usually excellent breeders. When you press the top of the pigeon's head with your index finger, you can feel the pupils trembling rhythmically, with a high frequency, and think that this pigeon is highly intelligent. Which pupils constrict like needles in the sun indicate that this pigeon is very intelligent. Personality "The upper hand grunts and screams, the head is frequently twisted, the mouth beak is not easy to catch, and it is difficult to look at the eyes and throat. Standing on the perch in a semi-crouched manner, the eyes are fierce, and move back and forth with the movements of the person. The alertness is high, but it does not start to fly... However, such a pigeon with full personality can be regarded as a manifestation of a higher IQ. It comes from genetics, and speed endurance pigeons are found."
A good pigeon's mind is always clear and calm, and he can make the right choice when things go wrong, and he will not make unnecessary sacrifices. In the young birds, it is necessary to pay attention to those young birds who no longer beg for food from other pigeons or owners after weaning, and who can eat enough themselves; they can drink water without teaching; they can occupy a first-class bed (perch); and the young birds who are free and experienced in both basketing and training. The highly intelligent pigeons are very confident, whether in the loft or in the cage, and do not panic, shock and chaos. The good pigeons in the pigeon cage rarely fight, and if they can keep quiet, even if other pigeons nag it, it is only "warning" the other party. It will try to avoid conflicts with other pigeons and will find a safe corner to observe the changes around it. When it opens the cage, it will use its cool mind to play its full level and find a safe short way home. The pigeon with a high IQ is very hygienic, and its feathers are always clean and tidy. They try not to excrete in their nests. When the pigeon owner goes into the cage to feed, water and protect the soil, he knows in his heart that you are not a threat to it, he will turn a blind eye and go his own way. As soon as you turn around, the clever pigeons will immediately go over and enjoy the fresh food it needs. If you're basketing a pigeon, it can be seen in the look in your eyes that the person who came is not good. It will find a favorable place to hide from it before you do it, as long as you are not against it, it will not run around, as long as you look at it, it will immediately slip away. If it finds that there is no way to escape, it will not do unnecessary "resistance". When you see it let go, it immediately reveals its "original form", and the big square confidently shouts twice, meaning that "I" am safe and will no longer hide in hiding, and you will be sentenced to two pigeons before catching it.
Nest love: grab a handful of hemp seeds, sprinkle on the ground, and then wait and see, those pigeons that will not leave the nest box to the floor to peck at the hatching eggs of hemp seeds, and the pigeons that can resist the temptation of hemp seeds can prove that it is a pigeon that loves the nest more than everything.
Operation: As soon as the pigeon is started, the neck is shrunk, the back is bowed, and the tail feathers are pressed down. At the same time, the tail is in a one-shaped shape, shaking and sagging. As soon as the pigeon catches its hand, how about the feathers perceived first? Is it as soft, smooth and smooth as velvety? Is it full and dense?
Suddenly, the muscle air sac crackles, it is a good pigeon. When holding the pigeon, the wings are strongly supported outwards, which reflects the strong character of the high-speed pigeon. The pigeon has a feeling of swelling as soon as it is started, just like a balloon full of air, and there is no shortage of materials in all parts of the pigeon's body, indicating that this pigeon is full of physical strength and vitality, and the pigeon with this feeling can become a super racing pigeon. Measure the enthusiasm of the pigeon by pulling the beak by hand. If it does not respond, 90% can be sure that the pigeon has no use. The pigeon can't grasp it with one hand, it always slips off, and it has to be held with both hands. Holding it hard in your hand, the loach produces a writhing force when it breaks free from your hand, and a carrier pigeon with internal strength also produces a loach-like writhing force when you hold it in your hand.
The size of the pigeons is only smooth, lying down and racking: the wings of the pigeons are extremely strong, extremely explosive, able to fly at high speeds within their extreme distances, and are often the king of short and medium distances. The smooth type is more common, belongs to the "neutral" body type, the wings in the hands can also maintain the original posture of naturally hugging the body, is the best type to advocate "feel" comfort, adapt to the distance is also wider. The crouching pigeon has its head, torso and tail bent downwards as soon as it gets started, and the wings are the opposite of the rack-shaped pigeons, not lifting upwards, but drooping down.
When a pigeon is held in the hand and the back is not stressed, the tail of a good pigeon should be slightly droopy and does not swing from side to side. Good pigeons are full and light in their hands, and there is a feeling of rising out of their hands. Four fingers grip the underside of the pigeon, the upper thumb presses against the back of the pigeon, and the tail feathers of the good pigeons are still tightly bundled in a sword-like horizontal or sagging. The tail feathers of the pigeons are upturned or spread out into a fan. Another way to identify pigeons is to hold the pigeon in your hand, the hand is naturally relaxed and slightly lowered and suddenly pressed down, at which time the pigeon in the hand will also appear in the above two situations. Twisting left and right is a manifestation of unsolid bones. I prefer pigeons with slightly curved palms, keels that are just placed in a four-finger micro-grip and whose thumb is just in the middle of the pigeon's back.
For the selection of pigeons, pay attention to whether the sixth main feather and the seventh main feather of the pigeon are significantly elongated, and whether the secondary feather part is irregularly cocked when the pigeon is standing, if there is this phenomenon, the pigeons of this type of pigeon are particularly good, and there will be outstanding results in difficult flights. Pinch the pigeon's mouth before pulling, closing its eyes to the pigeon, blinking and staring long as well. When catching pigeons, gently pinch the ears of the pigeons, it is good not to open the mouth, and the balance of the opening is not good. Gently pinching the nose of the pigeon, blinking or shedding tears, indicates that there are symptoms of infection in the respiratory tract.
Holding the pigeons in the hand, some pigeons always have the feeling of not being able to grasp, that is, the shoulders are always shrugged (there is also a feeling of downward pressure, here I do not know how to use words to explain) and the legs are always pedaling feelings, I don't know if to pay attention, often this kind of pigeon is a short-distance fast pigeon or some medium-distance pigeons.
If a pigeon stands in a position significantly greater than 45 degrees and has the appearance of standing upright, most of them are speed pigeons that can win high prizes in short and medium distance races; those who stand in a horizontal shape are the most long-distance pigeons.
The way to determine whether a pigeon belongs to the speed type and endurance type is very simple: put the index finger and middle finger under the wing (shoulder) of the pigeon, and lift it up one or a few times before pulling the wings open to look at it, and the explosive speed type pigeon will press down the wings hard to resist your finger force without induction; the resistance of the endurance pigeon is very small or almost non-existent, and it is useless to induce (repeatedly lift the wings).
The 3 small minor feathers under the secondary feathers that connect to the body should be as long and neat as if they had been cut by scissors, and the tail should not be cocked, but should be slightly sunken. The last 3 main feathers of the wings should be of equal length, but if they are too pointed or often split, the pigeon is degenerated; the pigeons with no white feathers on the whole body but have white toes should be picked; each main feather of the pigeon, if it is too wide, do not. The wings "shoulders" should be thick, the ailerons should be short and should be 12.5 cm long, and straight; the middle wing (the mouth of the eye is the first main wing feather) begins to protrude the aileron line, which is very important, that is, there is a very prominent gap where the aileron and the main wing connect; the longer the last few main wing feathers, the better, up to 25 cm long, it does not hurt, but these main feathers are relatively narrow and straight. ”
Pulltail method:
When tasting pigeons, the author will reach into the cage crack to grasp the tail of the pigeon, pull back with appropriate force, then the pigeon will pull forward with force, and the author will be in a "pickpocket" style hanging state. The author then gradually increased the strength and balanced with the maximum pull of the pigeon, and then when the time came, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the pigeon would quickly move forward. The pigeons that react quickly, are in good health, and have high sensitivity will react immediately, rushing forward and standing a few steps, while those who are clumsy have not had time to react, they have been planted with a dog eating, and the shape is awkward.
Although this method is simple, it is very applicable to the whole body of the carrier pigeon, including strength, health, reaction speed, coordination, etc. The faster the carrier pigeon reacts and the more coordinated the whole body, the shorter the distance it runs; the better the physical fitness, the greater the front pull, the longer the stalemate with the author; if you feel that the pigeon is weak and weak, unable to stalemate, and gradually retreat with the author's hand, then it is the best way to quickly eliminate. The pigeon's claws are clenched in the hand, and the pigeon is extended forward, which indicates that the skeleton structure of this pigeon is not only good, but also the skeleton is relatively strong.
The young birds are suddenly released in their hands for about 30 days, and if they fall down, instead of flapping their wings and flying down, such young birds have no future. After the young birds come out of the shell, if there is a bright red blood stain in the eggshell, the neck cannot stand upright after four days, and the desire to eat is not strong, indicating the stunted development of the young birds.
Putting together young birds from the same period, the first to learn to eat, the upper room is a high IQ. Young birds with a stable personality, regular eyes fluttering, full muscles and full air pockets are more likely to win in the loft. Therefore, the breeding pigeon should choose to stand tall, calm and alert, with sharp eyes full of confidence. The concentration of the pigeons is the key to evaluating the smart minds.
The quality of the pigeons is judged by the results of the race! And often the smartest pigeons with high IQs are not the pigeons with the strongest physique, the best balance of skeleton and the fastest return to the race!
1, eating: when feeding, they react quickly to the various actions of the breeder, and will eat feed and vegetables before other pigeons. Observe whether there is a pigeon that is particularly fierce every time, if there is a description of the lack of some nutrients in the pigeon, such a pigeon is very easy to swim in the shed.
2, drink water: smart pigeons after eating, always use their mouths to try several times when drinking water, if there is medicine, it will rub for a while, and drink when there is no way. Observe whether there are pigeons that drink a lot of water, and if necessary, check whether there is a problem with the hand check.
3. Nest occupation: When competing for perching frame and nest house, they are often able to compete for the best position in the loft and lay a solid foundation for the competition for mates.
4, bathing: smart pigeons, bathing is also after testing the water with their mouths, after seeing other pigeons in the water, they will go into the water.
5, affair: often some smart hens, about 15 days of brooding, before laying nest eggs, will find a single male in the same shed to step on the egg, and lay eggs in the nest box of this to breed their offspring.
6. Basketing: Smart pigeons have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and they can cope with the life in the cage through several trainings. During transport, they occupy familiar corners, maintain physical strength, do not fight with other pigeons, and can quickly eat and drink. Being able to develop such a habit is not only related to the tuning of the pigeon owner, but also the performance of the pigeon's strong adaptability to training.
7. Race: After the opening of the cage, the pigeons must calmly orient themselves while avoiding the attack of the birds of prey, and when they return home the next day, they must find food and water and choose a safe place to spend the night, which requires the pigeons to deal with it with a clever mind.
8, the pigeon rest, if the pigeon is found to have an inexplicable commotion, it means that there are extracorporeal insects on the pigeon; if the pigeon is found to be weak, it means that the pigeon must have suffered a change; if the pigeon's eyes and face are absent, it means that the pigeon's body and mind are traumatized or the body is invaded by the virus; if the pigeon's nose is black from white, it means that the pigeon is infected with trichondria, coccidiformes or other respiratory viruses; if the skin color of the pigeon's toes is white, rough and ringworm, it means that the pigeon suffers from vitamin, trace element deficiency, or herpes virus infection. If the pigeon feathers are dull in color and lack luster, and the pigeon feathers are fluffy, it means that the pigeons are poor and lack of nutrition; if the pigeons often shake their feathers, it means that the pigeons need to take a bath.
9. The young birds who always lead the landing are eliminated as soon as possible. After the game returns home, those whose physical strength cannot be quickly restored should be eliminated.
The owner catches it in his hand and emits a Oh oh wow... hen that snuggles softly when he is snuggled under the belly of a (not the kind that cuckoos are vigilant and shouting), and by this point alone, everything can be exempted from inspection, and it is definitely a good pigeon! As long as it is caught on the perch in the house and does not hide, it is called when it is released, that is, it can be matched.
somatotype:
"One": refers to the coordination of the whole body, compact, integrated and inseparable. "Two good": refers to good wings and good valves. "Three hard": refers to a hard neck, a hard head, and a hard skeleton. "Four tights": tight eye rings, tight mouth and nose, tight feathers, and tight pubic bone
Carrier pigeons are preferably oval in shape, with an open thorax and two upturned sides pressed against the thorax and abdomen, forming a full spherical bulge. The overall shape of the pigeon is preferably an oval shape with anterior round and posterior tip. Hidden head and neck, half-crouched posture standing carrier pigeon, personality more eccentric, stubborn, cautious, careful, generally not easy to move, but the movement is fast, agile, although standing posture, temperament does not mean that it is not a good carrier pigeon, but this type of carrier pigeon homecoming stability is particularly good, the race will make people feel particularly at ease. This type of pigeon has a strong adaptability and memory of the racing line, and can often return home on time and on time, which belongs to the category with strong living ability. The disadvantage is that there is not enough flexibility, and when changing to a new release point, it takes slightly longer to quickly orient and leave the release site.
Observe that the standing posture is excellent, and the carrier pigeons stand firmly and powerfully. The legs are not separated, and the color is fleshy red, rich in light. The front is wide, the neck is short and thick, and the whole is streamlined. The body of the pigeon is in the form of a horizontal, wide and vertical short, that is, the body of the pigeon is flat, which is conducive to the high-speed flight of the pigeons in the air. From the side of the pigeon, the angle between the wings and the bottom line of the abdomen is 45 degrees. Look at the standing posture, look down to see the tips of the wings meet, and close to the black shadow of the tail feathers; look sideways, like a small cannonball shape, the ten main feathers are collected into one.
An excellent medium and short-range fast pigeon should have a strong waist, and the tail feathers should be like the tip of a sword, slightly upturned, so that the pigeon has a strong explosive force. The claws are not too long, and the color of the outer skin is pink, indicating that the pigeon's physique has reached its peak.
The shape of the streamlined body is the front garden, the back is pointed, the surface is smooth, and there are no bumps and unevenness. As far as the overall composition of the pigeons is concerned, it is only approximately streamlined. This size is of great significance to the pigeons. Observe the shape of the pigeon is not to observe the standing pigeon, but should use the hands to spread the wings of the pigeon, looking at his head and neck, whether the trunk is composed of the whole body is similar to the streamlined body, through observation, it is found that the shorter the neck, the more the overall torso is more similar to the streamlined body, which is the symbol of the fast pigeon, and then from the height, flatness and concave of the keel to see its influence on the streamlined type. Due to genetic variation and other reasons, the morphology of the keel changes greatly, and the streamlined change on the back of the pigeon is not very large, so the shape of the keel is an important reason for whether the overall trunk is similar to the streamline. The keel plays a very important role in the posture of the pigeon, and the keel is the place that the pigeon must rely on for the agitation of the wings. At the same time, it is also the place where the chest muscles are attached, so the pigeons are caught in the hand, the keel should be even like the bottom of the boat, and those keels are too high, too short or not straight. The waist of the pigeon should be rounded and strong, in harmony with the tail. The role of the tail of the pigeon when flying is also very important to maintain the balance of the pigeon's body. The tail is too wide and long, its stability increases, but the relative physical energy consumption also increases; Too short and too narrow has an impact on the balance of the pigeons, so the pigeons should be chosen because of the overall structure. Judging by body shape characteristics: In judging the morphology of the various parts of the pigeon's body, the most important thing is the wings. The wings are too small to be good, and the longer they are when unfolded, the better. In addition, there should be a certain width, and its shape is preferably the feeling of hugging the air. The hardness or softness of the wings will vary depending on the mood of the pigeon and the method of holding it, so don't worry too much. The first three main wing feathers are generally long, and most pigeons that fly well have this characteristic. Robinson's pigeons are very well proportioned and the pigeons with many white spots in the plumage tend to fly amazingly well. Occasionally, chocolate-coloured pigeons appear in the Azaxon breed, which is considered the best breeder. This breed also features red eye circles, which are also characteristic of excellent breeders. Choose pigeons that are equal or not very different at the junction of the main and secondary feathers. Since the underwing feathers of fast pigeons are mostly messy, the underwing feathers of long distance pigeons are often relatively neat, and usually, these characteristics can also be used to determine whether a pigeon is suitable for short distance racing or long distance racing.
Let's talk about the size of the carrier pigeon
Short-distance fast pigeon Short-distance fast pigeon is also called sunbird, generally refers to 500 empty distance (including the loft pigeon), this kind of pigeon matures early, generally 5 months to fly 500 empty distance, the sun is strong, the speed is extremely fast, this kind of pigeon has the following common body characteristics: 1, the frontal standing posture is about 60 degrees, regardless of the size of the body, straight chest and abdomen, wide chest thick shoulders, short arms, strong tail muscles, pressed down on the word tail, the center of gravity after the hand is forward, the legs and crotch parts are exposed less, and the ankle joint has a good curvature downwards. Make the legs appear as short and thick as possible, more in line with the principles of aerodynamics. 2, double wing bags, two shoulders drooping, back arc waist arched also known as crucian carp back, waist tail in a parabola, is a perfect streamline, the back waist is symmetrically connected with the tail, the rear part is slightly thicker than the front is more ideal. 3, feather color: light raindrops, bright gray shell, rice as the representative, feathers are tight and thin, the texture is soft like silk, the surface has more keratin powder layer, after touching the hand has the feeling of easy sliding, can minimize air resistance, in the second must be determined to win or lose is extremely important. 4. The main wing feathers are short, the aileron feathers are narrow, the tail feathers appear short and small, the general strip is sharp, and the curve is curved inward, the main feather area is greater than the area of the secondary feathers, and the three large picks of 8, 9 and 10 are basically equal in length. Pulling out the wings from the back of the seventh big pick, there are obvious gaps in the wings to help break the wind. 5, the keel is the most attention of fanciers, the keel is strong, thick, strong, no sharp feeling, from the sternum to the tail there is an upward curve, and the pubic bone of the anus forms a tight combination, the egg stall is very tight. If both pairs have all the above characteristics, plus authentic pedigree, and there is a bright bottom sand, fine face sand, the pupils move quickly back and forth, the jitter is active, and then avoid bad weather (in case of bad weather, the hens choose 700 empty distance mid-range endurance pigeons, and the cocks choose the offspring of the short-distance champions to compete with each other) So three or five generations down, then the characteristics are clear, the temperament is distinct, the short distance is fast, the killing is fierce, and the pigeon cage is determined to win or lose, who dares to compete? Second, ultra-long-distance high-speed pigeons Super long-distance pigeons are also called endurance pigeons, the distance is between 1200 and 3000 air distances, this kind of pigeon does not choose the weather to bear hardships, flight lasting uniform speed, good at flying bad weather, maturity period in about two years, they have the following common characteristics: 1, the frontal standing posture is about 30 degrees, the body is basically parallel to the ground, flat and slender, including chest and abdomen; the chest muscles are soft and elastic, but not plump; the head shape is large, short feet and short neck, the nasal bubbles are hard, and the tail feathers are slightly longer. After getting started, the body is long but very light, the floating feeling is excellent, flat and comfortable, sitting firmly in the palm of the hand, the look is friendly and peaceful, and the hand is very alert and energetic, and the ankle joint also has a good slope downwards, making the standing posture low. 2, feathers to deep rain spots, ink rain spots, dark color, tight and smooth, waist and tail powerful. The body is streamlined. 3, the wings are the most important, the arms are long and thick, the torso is tightly wrapped when closed, the feathers are extra wide and long, the area of the secondary feathers is greater than the area of the main feathers, and the general bar does not have the curvature of the inward bend, generally showing a one-line wing, which is conducive to gliding. 4. The keel is thicker and lighter than that of the general carrier pigeon, the sternum is flat and slightly longer, and the pubic bone is tightly closed and does not touch. If both sides of the pair have all the above characteristics, coupled with authentic ultra-long-range bloodlines, the bottom sand is dry and thick, the oil is bright and godly, the middle and deep surface sand, the columnar convex grain is obvious, the eyes are wide, the outer sealing sand, the developed inner line mouth, such a long and long matched offspring, over time, the characteristics are clear, the temperament is distinct, the endurance is full, the sensitive and cunning personality jumps in front of the eyes, the momentum of the immortal return, the siege of the city and the invincible, the pigeon cage is determined to win or lose, who dares to resist? 3. Medium distance speed pigeons The middle distance speed pigeon has a positive standing posture of about 45 degrees, which combines the explosive power of short-distance fast pigeons with the intelligence of ultra-long-range high-speed pigeons, between ultra-long-range high-speed pigeons and short-distance fast pigeons, and tends to the characteristics of short-distance fast pigeons. In terms of options, the 700-empty same-day returning pigeon is used to cross short-range fast pigeons, which are extremely easy to win in bad weather, and hybrid ultra-long-range endurance pigeons are often sharp knife soldiers in 1,000 km races. Looking at the pigeon eyes of the pigeons from all race distances, the bottom sand, the sand structure and the color are like three steps, and the grades are clear. In short, in the selection of the size of the carrier pigeon, insist on using the same distance, in the group with excellent performance and breeding experience, analyze their pigeon eye characteristics and body shape characteristics, look for mates in the same strain or different strains, and the object of search must have the same strong pigeon eye characteristics and body shape characteristics. The use of people is similar to the matching of pigeons, the winner against the daughter of another champion, or let the son of the champion choose the hen and then the champion, to make the best use of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, directional breeding, you can create the ideal pigeon breed.
Balance:
Catch it and lean forward slightly. When the carrier pigeon is still a young chick, grasp the sides of the young chick's body with one hand and lift it upwards, the balance is not good, at the moment when the pigeon's body is lifted, the end of the tail feather (which was still a capillary at that time) will be upturned upwards; well balanced, the tail feather will remain parallel to the body or slightly downward. When identifying the balance of young pigeons in this way, it is necessary to pay absolute attention to the part of the hand-caught pigeon, because the balance organ of the young pigeon has not yet fully developed, and the grasping parts are different, there will be different results, so it is not appropriate to be front or back. The old birds are still suitable using the above methods. If you are more strict, the pigeon with both hands is slightly shaken up and down in the direction of its head and tail, and the balance of the tail feathers spreading out and swinging up and down is worse; no matter how it is shaken, even if it is grasped by the pigeon and swung vigorously, its tail feathers are not scattered and always consistent with the body, and the balance is the best. Sometimes, you can pick out pigeons that are not well balanced without getting started. For example, feeding pigeons, when they have just begun to grab the position to eat, those tail feathers scattered and sagging are poorly balanced; the tail feathers are up, the head is down, and their head and neck, driving body, and tail feathers are diagonally upward from bottom to line, and the balance is certainly not a big problem.
Grip in the hand is comfortable, the keel is moderately high, the tail and waist are perfectly combined, and the most important thing is that grasping in the hand must be a holistic feeling. A pigeon with a good sense of balance, when you get started, he will "sit" calmly and obediently on your hand. The whole body shape is streamlined in the shape of water droplets. Take off light and fast, silent when landing, but also the skeleton structure of the reasonable embodiment of the gently open the wings, he gives people the feeling should be soft, rather than feeling stiff need to be forced to pull apart, some people think that stiff wings are the appearance of strength, I think such wings lack flexibility, long flight will lack endurance There is a kind of pigeon at any time looks energetic, bright feathers, full of muscles, whether it is winter, or during brooding, the vitality of this pigeon, and metabolic ability must be very good. Pigeons are often judged on the one hand to confirm whether they are excellent on the other, for example, a pigeon with short legs has a short neck and shoulder blades, the muscles of the shoulders of pigeons with beautiful main feathers must be developed, and the skeleton of the whole body of a pigeon with a hard pubic bone will not be weak. I don't know if you pay attention to it, the breeding pigeons in the shed are raised, some abdomen is like a layer of butter in the hand to smash the hand, some muscles are strong to grasp in the hands light and powerful, the abdomen like a layer of butter pigeons may be the manifestation of weak liver function and poor metabolic capacity. There are also some details that the more stable and rhythmic the breathing in the hands, the smaller the fecal particles can also be used as a criterion for selection.
The intuitive way to determine whether the front and back of the carrier pigeon is equal in length, that is, whether the balance is appropriate (not to be handed) is: the thigh root length is at the top of the bladder tip to the middle of the end of the large feather tip (the length from the visual leg to the head will be greater than the length from the leg to the end of the tail feather), which belongs to the anterior and posterior short type; the leg position is slightly ahead of the bladder tip to the middle of the feather tip is the anterior and posterior isometric length (the length from the visual leg to the head is equal to the length from the leg to the end of the tail feather) The leg position is too far forward (the length from the leg to the head is less than the length from the leg to the end of the tail feather) is anterior and short posterior length.
Phase Pigeon:
All white toes, but without a little white hair or white stripes, are good pigeons.
A light-colored pigeon whose beak shell gradually darkens from the root to the pointed beak, or a dark-colored pigeon that gradually turns lighter into white in turn, is a good pigeon.
The with amber beak and toes, large wings and tail strips without black spots dotted with red rain spots (except for red wheels and crimson robes) is a good pigeon.
Bull's-eye grey hens are rare and are the best pigeons in the world. With heterochromatic hens (daisy, flowers, etc.), each incubation is either a pair of red or a pair of raindrops, and there will never be a red and black raindrop male breeder in the same nest, which is a good pigeon.
Suddenly caught out of the shed, placed in the display cage for the first time and still did not change the shape of the ball, is a good pigeon. Usually, those who eat less in the house and do not see the thin are good pigeons.
After flying outside the loft and playing, the first or the latest to enter the loft are good pigeons.
Relatives in the shed, afraid of people outside the shed, are good pigeons. Yellow-eyed, and lined with yellow-faced sand, is a good pigeon.
The gray shell "two heads" and the uneven edges of the parallel bars are good pigeons.
Green gray, parallel bars with red hair, is a good pigeon. Hairy legs, no white head, white eyebrows, white stripes, white tails, white crotches, is a good pigeon.
With heterochromatic hens (daisy, flowers, etc.), each incubation is either a pair of red or a pair of raindrops, and there will never be a red and black raindrop male breeder in the same nest, which is a good pigeon.
A few days before the egg is laid, the feces are still spherical and unchanged, and it is a good pigeon.
A white pigeon that cannot breed white stripe offspring is a good pigeon.
No matter what kind of eye pigeon you are equipped with, you can't match the sand-eyed pigeon of the yellow-eyed offspring, which is a good pigeon.
How to look at the pedigree of the carrier pigeon
The symbol of the Dilba pigeon breed is fish scale gray;
The finest of Jensen's pigeon breed is slate grey;
Black belts and black dots are characteristic of the Pigeon Breed of Defurent;
Inbury District, Sion, etc. all started with red wheel pigeons;
Descending males with gray females are golden matching of feather color; white striped males with flower heads are "boutique", especially gray-shelled white striped males;
The feathers and tail strips of descending pigeons are mostly cocks with black spots;
Deep rain points and ink rain points are expensive with jade mouth white claws;
Light raindrops and gray shells are more expensive than black mouths and black claws; the same nest pair of tile ash, the dark tile ash is often better, whether it is racing or breeding;
In the same bloodline, even in the same nest of pigeons, the white stripe is often prominent; the white strip pigeon is often the seed essence, and the white strip is preferably the number of white stripes (less than 3 on one side);
Short and medium-distance pigeons with amazing speeds tend to be light-feathered pigeons, while long-range and ultra-long-distance pigeons are mostly dark rain and ink rain spots. Therefore, feather color is one of the characteristics of the breed line of carrier pigeons, and the plume color is related to eye pigment, genetic traits, individual differences, and even race performance. I hope that fanciers will not raise pigeons "according to the tussocks", these characteristics are only the basis for your identification.
A good pigeon with only one white strip and the 10th or 7th stick on the outermost edge of the left wing is a good pigeon.
Among the same father and mother, the ugliest looking one is a good pigeon.
A white stripe with black toes is the face of a good pigeon.
Flower white head non-jade-billed jade claw, jade-billed jade claw non-flower white-headed, white stripe and daisy, white miscellaneous feather color pigeon; black eye without white feathers non-jade-billed jade claw qi; black eyes but no white feathers, white head, white claw, white eyebrow, especially the gray pigeon as the breeding sperm; the head hair color is lighter than the rest of the body is the body key; the head hair color is darker than other parts of the body show close relatives.
There are one or two unsmooth-winged winged people in the secondary feathers, most of them are breeding stars; the difference between the bottom sand and the pigment of the sand is larger, the better, and the yellow eye is not limited; pay special attention to the petite hens with short and strong necks.
The hen who goes to the edge of its nest immediately flies back to the nest. The hens who beat the male pigeons to the ground are good pigeons, and the Zeus 70 of this house is such a pigeon, which was sold when the author regretted it when the other party returned because it was too difficult to match haha.
Cocks that don't bite grass, cocks that don't like to incubate eggs and go to incubate eggs for the hens very late in the morning, cocks that don't bite but have a very fierce nesting rack are good pigeons.
Big throat, how to feed is not fat and not thin is a good pigeon.
The hen with the "red breast" may be the "golden mother".
There are no white hairs on the whole body, the claws are white, and such pigeons should be noted, only in the pigeons with better pedigree, better performance and high pigeon quality, which is a sign of strong inheritance. Bull's eye is a genetic phenomenon of return to the ancestors, is a pure "blood", and the mate paired with the bull's eye, no matter what the eye, can play a powerful role in penetration and strengthening, so that the offspring are further purified, purified, rejuvenated, and the color becomes darker and thicker. The "Point Eye Cluster" is an excellent breeding pigeon, and the "White Horse" returning pigeons are mostly derived from the descendants of the "Point Eye Cluster". If it is a double "point eye" champion of the famous family, it is very good.
When both breeders are ordinary feathers, but produce a white striped offspring, this offspring may be a good pigeon. The white bar is "left 7 right 8" or less than 3 roots is better, preferably a male 1, and inserted in the 7, 9, 10 position, if inserted on the secondary feather breeding effect is good.
Regardless of the distance of the race, it is always very regular to return in the evening or at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and it is a good pigeon.
Big tail slate raindrops, is a good pigeon.
The cocks that go to replace the hens early in the morning and are not willing to hand over to the hens in the evening are good pigeons.
If the feces remained in the same mass two days before the egg laying, the health of this hen did not need to worry at all.
The throat white spot is not a caterpillar! It should be a clinical symptom of mold, glandular disease poison, upper respiratory tract infection, and it is the product of self-healing. So, especially stubborn, especially difficult to get rid of!
Brass and iron type: Most of the pigeons in this type are small and medium-sized pigeons, which look full of strength, infinite strength, excellent elasticity, strong and strong with muscles and bones, like a combination of one body rather than a patchwork. The characteristics on the face are often displayed on the pigment and the tip of the nose, the pigment on the face of this type of pigeon is deep and black, and the tip of the nose is black, and the reaction of the neck muscles and nerves shows a strong conscious proposition, that is, when you hold the head of the pigeon in one hand, you subconsciously experience the shock he shows, the stronger the stronger the more able to fly, although its speed is not first-class, but it lacks a pigeon that seems to never tire, if its sense of balance is good, the eyes are sharp, Then you have the hope of winning the bid if you have it.
Many people unconsciously like the gray pigeon. In fact, the gray pigeon inherits a strong separation, and some external signs that reflect the excellent potential, that is, the so-called "fixed match", are irregular because of the gray feathers, resulting in the pigeon owner's errors in the early judgment and nothing to do. Who is the winner or the straight generation? It's me, who wouldn't hesitate to choose Naodai. Moreover, success often occurs in alternate generations. The Sion breed has qualities that many other pigeon breeds can hardly match, the most prominent of which is that it is very hereditary! A head-down, tail-to-air position on the perch is the standard movement of the best Sion hens in front of people and in the cage. The sub-generation of pigeons who seek to target pigeons when introducing pigeons is far more valuable than their peers. "Mouth, color and hue — the blood of a good pigeon in the previous generation." "The white stripe of the flower head is not the white claw of the jade white mouth; the white claw of the jade mouth is not the white stripe of the flower head and the color of the white and white variegated feathers—it must be relatively better than those who do not have the above-mentioned elderly images in the same blood." "Black-eyed light-colored pigeons without clipping white stripes; black-eyed non-white feathers and non-jade-billed white-clawed pigeons; white pigeons without black-eyed breeders."
"The yellow-eyed Dai xiong with no black spots embellishment of the jade-billed wax claw feathers is also the first choice of good breeds; the black-billed black-clawed feathers with black spots embellished with the sand-eyed Daixiong is the killing field Xiao Yong."
"The black-billed black claws are the best of the miscellaneous and white-flowered pigeons." "Black mouth or half black mouth, all white claws, black eyes are the best of the pure white hens." "It is not surprising that there are white heads, white eyebrows, white feathers, and white claws to make black eyes and white feathers; there are black eyes but no white heads, white eyebrows, white feathers, white claws, and especially gray pigeons are breeding pigeons!"
"A beak without a hook will be a good pigeon." "What a brilliant hen with a convex head that looks like a birthday star." "The black-billed black claw gradually becomes a wax-billed wax claw, a gray pigeon without white feathers, or a white-winged gray pigeon born with a white mouth, white eyebrow, and all black claws, and a gray pigeon with a white eyebrow, white feather, and white claw." Characteristics of a powerful pigeon
1. Strong possessiveness of the nest position of the perch. 2, eat feed is more attentive, basically will not fight with other pigeons while eating. 3. During road training, the performance is stable, not easy to be abnormal, and usually maintains a leading position in his pigeon group. 4. When training for a long distance, if it encounters a very high rate of pigeon loss, it will also return normally, even if it returns late and does not enter the house. 5. During private training, if you encounter the harsh climate or complex geographical environment on the way, you can also return home smoothly and normally. 6, when pairing, very much their own aesthetic opinions, and some insist, not the owner to grab one to give it, it will be in a hurry to pair, that is, the more difficult to match a category. 7. When training for complex geographical formation teams, they dare to break out of the obstacles of complex geographical formations. 8, when hatching eggs become very fierce, persistent, defensive. For example, if we want to reach out and touch its nest and touch its eggs, it becomes as ferocious as a bird of prey, biting your hand with all its might. 9, after eating the feed, after drinking water, it will not wander on the floor and will quickly fly back to its nest.
Skull Mouse Eye: Refers to an explosive pigeon, its eyes are wide open, the bones are slippery, the front is bulging outwards, the pigeon eye pigment is particularly clear, it seems particularly clever.
Keep your head held high: a good pigeon is extremely alert, always hiding and taking off at any time, so its standing posture is always so alert. No one will come and sleep on their stomach or continue to eat, it will immediately stop all movement, watch your every move, and take off first if there is danger.
Tiger back bear waist: a fast pigeon, no doubt to have a coordinated and tough skeleton, the upper hand feel is excellent, the back connects the tail to form a streamlined curve, the right hand grasps the back waist thick and powerful there is a sense of swelling.
Domineering: the characteristics of a good pigeon, in our human language to describe it is personality, the general good pigeon personality is reflected as: domineering, fierce enough, occupying the area of the nest, energetic, aggressive, walking posture arrogant, saying that it is not too much to walk sideways, the hen pigeon is somewhat reflected in the difficult match, not the right mind even if the pigeon breaks its head and bleeds will not be allowed.
Light as a swallow: everyone will say that the fast pigeon is full of muscles, the skeleton is larger and heavier, but a really good fast pigeon, although it maintains a full muscle and a large skeleton, is still as light as silk after getting started.
Feathers like brocade: The feathers of the fast pigeon are compared to the national blood pigeon, the feathers are small and tight, the feathers are bright, the spots are clear and even, the feathers are oily and powdery, and the hands feel silky smooth. Some fanciers are fed the same silky feathers, but most of the feathers are inherited from the strain.
Rigidity and softness go hand in hand: In general, a great feature of the fast pigeon is that the skeleton is thick and the muscles must be soft, so it also makes it have no endurance. If you fly in the wrong direction, there is generally no physical strength to return, so it is also true that the fast pigeons are easy to lose. Once it flew in the right direction, it would leave the endurance pigeon far behind and keep racing all the way to its nest, giving it the title of speed pigeon because of the non-stop.
The wing shapes of the autumn-winter fast pigeon or the first and second prizes all have a common feature: the main wing of the root of 7.8.9.10 is the same length, especially the three main wings of the 8.9.10.
Eleven ways to kill pigeons
1. Young birds with normal development, who still do not leave the nest after 40 days, are killed no matter what.
2. Cocks are killed by the weaker.
3. After the hens are paired, the feeding is normal, and those who do not lay eggs for a long time are killed.
4. Kill those who do not form a stool for a long time (no insects).
5. The hens are indiscriminately killed by other maters.
6. The hens hatch their eggs too early to leave the nest, and those who return to the nest too late in the afternoon are killed.
7. The cocks that are not in the egg laying period and courtship period, but fight around and keep chirping, are killed.
8. The training and release begins, and after too long a period of time (a few days later), when returning home, there is no injury or arrest trace of the person killed.
9. The first release of young pigeons born from "famous families" or "famous families", if they do not encounter a storm, they will fall or return without pigeons, no matter how beautiful the rest is, together with the breeding pigeons of the famous family.
10. When collecting pigeons, they fly randomly in the cage, scream, bump, and kill those who breathe heavily.
11. The loft is not crowded, and after the young birds go to the house, most of them do not return to the shed, the swim-lost male kills the breeding hen, and the swim-lost female kills the breeding male.
Killing a breeding pigeon by mistake only loses one, and leaving a breeding pigeon by mistake will ruin all the way, even a shed of pigeons, and the consequences are endless.
