Now some excellent long-distance pigeons are actually not low in price, and many fanciers like it. Although pigeon racing is still dominated by short distance multi-level racing, the long-distance winners actually have some value. The main thing is the breeding value.
Many fanciers simply think of slow speed when they talk about long-distance pigeons, but this is actually a misunderstanding of long-distance pigeons by many people. The speed of long-range pigeons is actually not slow. Even if a pigeon can get home on the day of the race that flies thousands of kilometers, the velocity is naturally very prominent, and the endurance is also extremely good. Such pigeons may not have a particularly obvious advantage in short distance racing, but the breeding value is high.
This is especially true for fanciers who now lose a lot of time or whose flights are more unstable. The proper hybridization of long-range pigeons may have a certain improvement for the offspring of pigeons. So how do you choose a pigeon? In fact, it is not difficult to do so, that is, to choose some long-distance pigeons with good results, the plumage is not special, and the pedigree is relatively stable, so such pigeons are suitable for breeding.
So if your pigeons have a short flight distance and the pigeons are not flying very stably, consider bringing in long-range pigeons for pairing. However, it is still mainly based on blood mixing, do not put the cart before the horse.
