Since birds do not have the function of blowing their noses, some tiny feathers and dust will remain in the nose cavity of pigeons. In addition, the nasal cavity is moist and warm, forming a breeding place for bacteria and microorganisms such as trichomoniasis, resulting in nasal blockage. At the beginning of the blockage, the pigeons did not show any obvious symptoms; As the congestion worsens, symptoms such as shorter flight time, slower speed, mouth opening after flying, black nose, increased eye water, and sneezing will occur. During training flights, the homing time may be prolonged or even lost. This is due to insufficient oxygen supply due to a blockage of the upper airway. When the oxygen supply to the brain is insufficient, the orientation of the pigeons can have very serious problems.
When it comes to keeping pigeons, the intestines and the respiratory tract are two very important parts. It can be said that if you take care of the intestinal health of the pigeons, then the health of the pigeons is very guaranteed. And take care of the respiratory tract of the pigeons, then it will be easier for the pigeons to fly. Whether it's for the intestines or the respiratory tract, there are times when it needs to be cleaned. Today we mainly talk about the respiratory tract of the pigeon, if there is a problem with the respiratory tract of the pigeon, then the level of flight of the pigeon will be significantly reduced. So when does it mean that the pigeons' airways may need to be cleared?
In the first case, after the pigeon flies, it falls and gasps for air. In this case, there is generally a premise, that is, the pigeon flies at a reasonable time, and there is no over-flying situation. And it doesn't get very hot, because in the heat the pigeons often open their mouths to breathe after flying. It should be noted that if the pigeon has only a short time to breathe after the pigeon has flown and has landed and opened its mouth, then it is not a big problem. If after a few minutes the pigeon is still breathing with its mouth open, then it is almost certain that the pigeon's airways need to be cleared.
In the second case, when your pigeon is flying, the pigeons with no respiratory problems tend to fly higher and faster. If your pigeon usually flies quite high, but there is a period when the pigeon flies relatively low, or even says that the pigeon is almost close to the ground, then the pigeon's airway may need to be cleared. If you are not satisfied with the low flight of the pigeon and have not cleaned the airways of the pigeon for a long time, then you may wish to clean the airways of the pigeon, the effect is often very obvious.
In the third case, we can look at the nose and mouth of the pigeon. If the pigeon is healthy, the nose of the pigeon is whiter and drier. The mouth is rosy and does not have any foreign bodies. If the pigeon behaves differently in these two places, it can also mean that there is a certain problem with the pigeon's respiratory tract. This is when we need to clean the pigeons' airways. But if the problem is more serious, we also need to consider whether there are other diseases in the pigeons.
Fourthly, if we do not clean the airways of the pigeons for a long time, no matter how the pigeons are trained, the level of home flight will not be up or down, which is very average. Then you can also consider cleaning the airways of the pigeons. Only if the pigeons are breathing smoothly will they get enough oxygen. The ability to compete will improve. It can be said that the respiratory tract of the pigeon is a very critical part, and we can also check whether there is any problem with the respiratory tract when we check the pigeon, and a small problem should be solved in time.
