(11) Liege pigeon is also known as the sun pigeon, Liege mail pigeon. One of the oldest foreign racing pigeon breeds. Native to Liège, Belgium at the beginning of the 19th century. Slightly smaller in size, with a plaid pattern, short face, and a short chest, it has the characteristics of a fast flying pigeon. This pigeon was bred before the Antwerp pigeon, and both are known as "Liege". In the middle of the race record, its appearance is mentioned, with a short beak, a short chest, a strong physique, and black eyes and feathers, but this pedigree is similar to the characteristics of the big beaked pigeon. It was analyzed for pigeon pedigrees such as Aul, Cams, Rib Pigeon and Smol. The best modern Belgian pigeon breeds basically contain the pedigree of this breed.
(12) American Flying Pigeon One of the breeds of foreign racing pigeons. It was bred in the United States in early 1881. It is a hybrid of a magpie pigeon with a long-faced Dutch pigeon, and contains the pedigree of the white-tailed pigeon, and retains the white pupil genetic factor of the German Hannu Buddha white-eyed pigeon. In 1909, the American Golf Pigeon Association officially promoted the success of the "American Flying Pigeon" improvement. In 1928, it set a record for 10 hours of continuous flight at high altitude. The size and weight are basically similar to those of the Helm pigeon. The mouth is slender, the back of the neck has vertical hairs, the eyelids are thin, and there is a black eye circle on the outside, which is responsive. It can fly high into the clouds, sometimes glide sharply and turn straight down, and can also turn suddenly, sharply, and soar up. The pupils are pure white, and the shins and feet are smooth and hairless. Plumage can be white, gray, brown, yellow, brown or black.
(13) White Cloud Pigeon One of the rather ancient racing pigeon breeds of foreign pigeons. It is a high flying pigeon breed bred in France and is known in the United Kingdom as the "White Cloud Pigeon". It has the pedigree of the English tumbling pigeon and the Horme pigeon, and its durability is amazing, and it can fly for about 10 hours a day.
(14) Tregen pigeon One of the rather old racing pigeon breeds of foreign racing pigeons. It is a flying pigeon bred in the United Kingdom more than 200 years ago, which is mainly bred from Gallia pigeons and ball-breasted pigeons, and also contains the bloodline of the rib pigeon. The head is large and thick, the mouth is short and thick, the nose tumor is developed, the eyelids are thick, the legs and claws are thick, the appearance is very majestic, the body shape is similar to the Hormu pigeon, and its flight endurance is remarkable, which is better than fighting. It can be raised as a racing, edible and ornamental multi-purpose pigeon. Plumes are white, gray, red, yellow, black and many others. The disadvantage is that eyelids and nasal tumors will thicken with age, so it is easy to cause ophthalmia.
(15) Belgian racing pigeon One of the foreign racing pigeon breeds. In the 19th century, when communication tools such as telegraphs and telephones were not available, Belgium used pigeons to convey information. At that time, the Liege pigeon could be released from Brussels, London, Paris and other places, bringing back all kinds of news quickly, so for a time the carrier pigeon became the main means of communication, and was later called "Liège Postman". Therefore, Belgians like to breed carrier pigeons, they use different breeds to cross, breeding many new breeds. For example, The Pigeons of Liège and Antwerp were crossed with the famous British pigeons of the time, such as Hanson, Tregen and Gallia, and bred in 1850 to form the "Belgian Racing Pigeon".
(16) Trouble Pigeon One of the breeds of foreign racing pigeons. Plumes come in black, white, red, yellow, gray and brown. It is often used in the pigeon world to improve the breeding of magpie pigeons and French bada pigeons, and the descendants of the pigeons bred are basically pure color pigeons. The United States has also used trouble pigeons to improve various racing pigeons, such as Gallia, Horme and other racing pigeons, but the results are not ideal.
(17) Purple Gold Sand Is one of the breeds of Chinese racing pigeons. Country of origin unknown. It has a beautiful pair of purple-gold eye sands, hence the name. The plumage has raindrops, grays, and dark colors, mostly dark raindrops. In the early 20th century, it was bred in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Shanghai and other places, and was the main breed of pigeons in the competition at that time, but it gradually deteriorated due to long-term inbreeding, and most of the pigeons flew less than 300 kilometers and became naturally extinct.
(18) Quicksand Is one of the breeds of Chinese racing pigeons. Country of origin unknown. The eye sand of other pigeons is fixed, but the eye sand of this pigeon will slowly flow on the iris, hence the name. Plumage has gray and raindrops. The quicksand pigeon was originally kept by many people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and was the main breed of pigeons at that time. The pigeon is said to be able to fly at night. Later, due to long-term inbreeding and degradation of the strain, it is now difficult to see it.
(19) White Sand Is one of the breeds of Chinese racing pigeons. Country of origin unknown. The eye sand of other pigeons can more or less see some blood color, but the eye sand of this pigeon is snow white, without a trace of variegated color, and the eye sand particles are clear and visible, hence the name. There are many plumage colors such as gray, black, and raindrops. This pigeon can fly well. Originally, it was reared in coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Fujian, but now it has become extinct.
