"Carrier Pigeon" brings you interesting stories about pigeon breeding every day, shares pigeon racing experience, clicks to follow, and exchanges and learns together.
The ultra-long distance race of carrier pigeons is a traditional competition project in China, and the vast territory of China has created good conditions for ultra-long distance competition. China's ultra-long-distance events originated in Shanghai, China, and are popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Jiangsu and Shanghai are two of the few regions that have adhered to the long-distance schedule for many years. The instinct of the ultra-long-range pigeon to fly home unswervingly reflects the quality of courage to fight and tenacious and indomitable will, which is very valuable. The ultra-long-range pigeon is far away from the mountains and rivers, insisting on flying back to the nest, which is the elite of the elite. It embodies the spirit of the times of courage to fight, which is really what many people in the contemporary era need.
The ultra-long distance pigeons are distinctively characterized by the fact that the pigeons of this lineage are generally medium to large, with a thick and light skeleton, a slightly longer sternum and soft and elastic muscles. The feathers are smooth, the plumage is diverse, the short feet are short-necked, the head is slightly stout, the nasal bubbles are harder, the eyes are full of spirit, the dry old oil is bright, its yellow eyes are like plum birds, orange yellow and red, such as the yellow with green of the West Wing, the turmeric of the Wu bird, the dry yellow is mostly; its peach blossom face is sand like arbutus, and the bottom sand is like soot. The wings of the ultra-long-range racing pigeons are long and tightly wrapped around the torso when folded, which is particularly developed. The long feathers and wide covert feathers are characteristic of them. The tail feathers are slightly longer and wider, and the pressure is down, the balance is good, and the grip is flat and comfortable in the hands. The pigeon is not impatient, very submissive, but very alert and energetic when he gives up.
The formation of the ultra-long-distance pigeon family is that in the past fifty years, after dozens of ultra-long-distance racing competitions, it has been continuously screened and eliminated, and the best breeds have been selected to cultivate this kind of ultra-long-distance pigeon family that bears hardships and stands hard work, adapts to harsh weather, and adapts to ultra-long-distance travel. The result of this large-scale, brutal flight is not that it can be bred by short and medium distances, so the innate pedigree of ultra-long-range pigeons is very important, and only pigeons with ultra-long-range blood can breed good-flying ultra-long-range carrier pigeons.
The main feature of the long-range pigeon is that it is good at flying alone and has good directionality, and has a tenacious will. Ultra long-distance pigeons have a hard-working pedigree and experience, can withstand a long period of training, and have good genetic genes passed down from generation to generation in practice. At present, there are not many long-distance pigeons in China, I hope that under the impetus of the long-distance pigeon racing in Shanghai, Jiangsu, the whole country will hold more long-distance races, I believe that in the near future, the Chinese carrier pigeon long-distance racing will be better and better, retain the national blood, expand the team of long-distance pigeons, foreign China's prestige, and make more contributions to the cause of carrier pigeons.
