< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > breeding pigeon selection (morphology) sixteen</h1>
1． No matter what variety, the kind of face that looks small at a glance (eyelids are tightly wrapped) nose buttons, long mouth, and thin beak, is generally not wrong.
In fact, pigeons with hands lighter than they look are rare. The skeleton of the pigeon is thick but the whole body is light, which is an important feature of a good pigeon.
2． Pigeon throat to see 5 o'clock, good pigeon mouth is difficult to break open, good pigeon mouth is forced to open a large maximum angle, the tongue will not bounce up, good pigeon throat door is small, deep position and tongue at a 90 degree right angle, when opening the mouth is generally difficult to see.
The difficulty of breaking the pigeon's mouth shows that the pigeon body is strong and stubborn, as for the shape of the throat after breaking, there is still no conclusion, the color pink has no inflammation, and health can be.
3． Pigeons with "stiff" muscles cannot grow.
The muscle form of good pigeons emphasizes that "soft and elastic, there is a sense of air, that is, the whole pigeon feels light, and some people even emphasize that good muscles have a slight tremor on the hand, which needs to be felt after practice."
However, if you pull open the wings of the pigeon and find that the wings have a trembling phenomenon, and the wings are connected to the pectoral muscles, this can be equated with the trembling of the pigeon's pectoral muscles. ”
Breeding pigeons with very close relatives are prone to poor muscle feel, which should be noted.
4． The last four main feathers of the wing should be longer, but not too wide, it cannot be deformed after a long flight, it is strong and bendable, and the feathers should be soft.
Good feather quality is a major feature of good breeds, if there is no ready-made pigeon, you can find a sparrow to touch and feel it, you must have some understanding, this is not a joke.
5． In addition to the selection of breeding pigeons to reach or exceed the previous generation, special attention should be paid to the shape of their eyes, the eye color, the eye structure must be the same as the previous generation, only the same as the previous generation, its excellent genetic genes are the most likely to be retained.
This is a kind of speculation about the amount of genetic combination inherited from the previous generation through external nuances, and it has certain reference value when used. Just as Jensen should have a white sand eye, Yang Aten should have a bronze eye. As soon as the color of the eyes changes, the pigeon may also change internally.
6． Gillard. Fannei thinks that the good eye is the kind that people can clearly see a short line on the inside of the mouth and extend to the center of the pupil of the eye. He prefers pigeons that can spread their wings easily and rejects champions who perform well but have difficulty spreading their wings.
This statement is a bit difficult to understand, but in some good breeding pigeons I did notice that some breeding pigeons have a sarcoma between the corners of the mouth and the eyelids to connect the two, to ask me where the scientific basis is, I can not say, for the time being, it can be attributed to the external performance under the influence of some kind of hormone that is conducive to competition.
7． I hope that the pigeons have strong keel bones, excellent breeding pigeons should have smooth feathers, specifically dense feathers, thin and soft wings, shiny feathers, thick and dark feathers, the pigeon body is round like a hull, no edges and corners, and the overall balance is good, in the future in the hand, there should be a sense of balance, the color of the eyes can not be too concerned, the focus is on the pigeon eyes that can be transmitted, looking left and right all day long.
机智聪明的鸽子平时对鸽主表现得很友善，但对生人则表现出特有的警觉，它们的眼神一直注意你的一举一动，呈现出一副蓄势待发的状态，但又不轻举妄动，如果真要捉它的时候可真不容易。

8． Lai Mingcang Breeding pigeons are responsible for making 3-5 nests of eggs every year, each time by the parents, never using a nanny to vomit.
And it is paired according to the actual needs of the race, basically the pairing will not consider what season, must be to cope with the needs of the race and pairing, breeding pigeons in the open or paired nest box, usually there is plenty of room for exercise.
Pay attention to the health of the pigeons, and think that if the health of the breeding pigeons is not good, it is basically impossible to become a good breeding pigeon, and the skeleton of a good breeding pigeon must be hard and thick, so when the pigeon is caught, it is found that its skeleton is not hard enough, then it is impossible to become a good breeding pigeon, but the hard and thick skeleton is not necessarily a good breeding pigeon, there are other reference elements.
The muscles of good breeding pigeons should be elastic, they should not be too tight and stiff to touch, the hair quality of good breeding pigeons should be good, supple, the wing leaves should not be too thin, the wing leaf surface should be wide, angled, the feathers should be black, the thick branches Are the conditions of appearance, and at the same time, the head of the breeding male will be required to be large, he believes that the size of the head is more related to genetics, the feet are also thick and powerful, and the size of the breeding pigeon is not rejected, but the small size is not liked.
The young birds are screened once when they are developing, and in the same group of young birds, the poorly developed pigeons are not congenitally insufficient, and the poorly developed pigeons will be eliminated, and the racing pigeons will not be inserted.
When choosing to retain seeds, the eye structure must be required, pigeons with poor eye structure cannot become good breeding pigeons, the jitter of the eyes must be regular, do not like sluggish eyes, in terms of pupil contraction, pigeons that contract too fast are not considered to be good phenomena.
About the size of the pigeons is big good? Or is it small good or medium? I recently studied Yin Peihua's "Chinese Pigeon Classic", Mr. Yin has been taking photos of pigeons from all over Taiwan all year round, and the results of the pigeons that I have started are not many, and the temporary conclusion is that the fiercely competitive big pigeons will have more prize pigeons and larger pigeons.
The number of small and medium-sized pigeons is mostly small and medium-sized. 而且前十位的入赏鸽子中普遍有两三只让人看不懂的丑鸽子尤其是一两关就结束的伯马天气，综合入赏前十位的鸽中约有七成整体形态优良，所以鸽友们还是要追求形体美好的那七成，免得养太多，就算入赏也怕是自己看不懂的白板鸽。
9． The results of the young birds are not very important to me, but there is a premise that they must not be particularly exhausted when they arrive home, otherwise they will be screened and eliminated.
In addition, I will keep an eye on the pigeons that have achieved good results in the headwind races, because this shows that they are strong, this is my initial screening process, the feathers of the pigeons must occasionally give you a feeling of sliding over your fingertips, the down feathers are fine and smooth.
Suppose the same 500 km race, if a pigeon flies back and appears to be more tired than other companions, it is either not well oriented than others to detour, or it is poor in physique, can not eat bitterly, or poor structure, low flight efficiency, so it is more tired.
10． The head of a good breeding pigeon should be very energetic, the pigeon's eyes should be constantly moving around, showing that it is carefully observing everything around it, with a strong curiosity, the shape of the pigeon's head must be perfectly long, and the forehead between the eyes should be high and wide.
11． We should aim to breed breeding eyes that are thick and bright and bright and have a general aesthetic, and those eye eyes that are only thick but dull are not advisable.
12． The structure of the downwind season secondary feathers tends to be small and narrow The main feathers should be large and wide, the summer downwind hot air rises, and the rising buoyancy of the pigeons themselves is quite enough, so the secondary feathers do not need to be too wide, the pigeons waste energy due to the relationship of updraft, and the main pigeons are large and wide in order to allow the pigeons to have enough propulsion, and they win in the format with less short distance.
The sternum is relatively smooth, and the shoulder blade must be moderately thick and not too thin, mainly to be able to quickly fan the wings, while the summer downwind competition is mainly based on this condition.
13． Headwind pigeons are very different, the pigeons must have a deep keel, but also have a developed pectoral muscles, so that the keel of the pigeon will form a boat belly, with a little curvature, while the secondary feather part must be relatively wide to assist the updraft reduced by the lack of heat radiation in winter.
The untreated part of the main feather tends to be wider than the pointed exhaust system, and the part of the shoulder blade needs to be thicker and slightly shorter, which is to match the deep and thick pectoral muscles, which in turn produces powerful fan wings, and the feathers should be thick and black and shiny with elasticity.
14． In the very difficult race of the few pigeons returned from Boma, the structure of the eye sand is very similar, the finer the outer sand layer, the better, the structure gradually rises from the eye to the outside, the closer to the eye is the thinner, and the outer layer is more fine, and the yellow bottom sand seems to have a higher homeowning rate at sea.
15． Taiwan Haixiang pigeon screening points
1 The pigeon's eyes should be clear, the blood should be thin, such as toothpaste-like thick red blood doves single pass is acceptable, more than one pass has no future,
2 There must be some degree of reaction in the sun, but the quality is not necessarily proportional to the strength and speed of the reaction
3 Pigeons on a bright yellow or silver white background get hotter and stronger on a hot day, but considering climate change, most of the pigeons are slightly green or blue, and rainy or typhoon Tianboma is blue and greener.
4 pigeon eye degree of the same, to the size of the wings to determine the equal number, weather changes determine which pigeon eye is the most suitable for the reward, so the advantages and disadvantages of the judgment to pigeon eye priority.
16． It is certain that pigeons with dominant violet eyes will produce offspring of dotted clump eyes, with irregular lines of white such as radial or spider silk in the pupils, and the reticulated dot eye clump is a dream pigeon eye, which is a very promising pigeon.

1． The first and most important thing for the hens is to never let the hens out of the race, especially on the long and arduous courses, and the sisters and straight girls of the best runners are usually selected as breeders.
This is the experience of breeders, in order to protect the reproductive system of the hen, although many people dismiss it, a pigeon is born, the genes it carries can not be changed, the genes will not be better because a pigeon flies by, but it can spoil the health of a pigeon because of the owner's wrong decision to race, and it takes several years to fully recover.
真正对自家种鸽足够了解的人，不能百分之百，但也能有七成的把握知道什么样的母鸽可以直接留种，或是在比赛中小试即止。
2． If the pigeons made in the old breeder pair are not as runners but as breeders, and if the old breeders have been repeatedly confirmed by their performances, then the breeders who have made this are very much looking forward to, please keep this in mind.
The old male with the one-year hen is ideal, and the old female with the younger male is worse, which is the bigger difference between the breeding male and the female.
3． Not paying attention to the popularity of the pigeons introduced and their lofts, but putting what you need first, the conditions for the breeding pigeons are that they have a record, and the parents and brothers and sisters of the same generation must also have a record, and it is a pigeon that has been recorded many times.
Although not always a winning record, only the pigeons recorded many times, their descendants will have a chance to win, the most important thing should be that they and their brothers and sisters in the 700 km race, each time there is a fairly stable return rate, with such pigeon breeding, usually will produce excellent offspring.
I highly recommend this, but this kind of pigeon is either the owner does not want to sell or the price is high, and the fancier who buys this pigeon must be mentally prepared for this "cutting meat".
4． In fact, the individual differences in the speed of the return of pigeons are different from the types of neural activity they have, such as the system of pigeons with short, medium and long race distances.
The type of neural activity is not very easy to understand literally, but my own understanding is that pigeons with short, medium and long race distances have different ability to sense the homing direction of different distances and cope with different ways.
For example, the short distance pigeon will not be able to sense the correct direction of home when it reaches a long distance race, or it will be able to fly back with its physical strength.
If the long distance pigeon is in the short distance race, although it can sense the direction of home, but because of the short distance, it does not show the urgency of the return of the short distance pigeon, so the speed is often not fast enough.
5． The world's masters are always looking for pigeons that stand out in bad races to enrich their breeding line-up, to find the determined pigeons that have come home and how long-term it means to form a team of pigeons.
Berma pigeons do not appear in the unremarkable pigeon family for no reason, and the previous generation of Berma pigeons can find many traces of Berma.
6． Look for diamonds in the diamond pile, don't look for diamonds in the glass pile, find better pigeons in the good flock.
Although some fanciers disdain this, it is a shortcut for fanciers with sufficient financial strength.
7． When buying pigeons, we will consider the family nature of the pigeons, the so-called family nature refers to the pigeons that can play from generation to generation, from the pigeons with good family nature, to find pigeons with excellent conditions, as for whether there is a performance, of course, among the breeding pigeons we choose, there are results to confirm that there will be more than one layer of protection.
8． Whether it is a domestic record pigeon or a foreign record pigeon, the results only represent their own excellence, once each pigeon becomes a breeding pigeon, pairing breeding is also a new attempt, success or failure can not be predicted, not to mention their own retention of pigeons, are many years of practical pigeon breed.
Even if it is not a record pigeon, it is a brother and sister of the record pigeon, I know the characteristics of the pigeon breed quite well, and the requirements for the breeding pigeons, I am quite strict with the number of young birds per hundred young birds that allow me to stay as the first bell pigeon by no more than 10, young and energetic and well-qualified special breeders, breeding ability is not inferior to the record pigeons.
此条也出自赖铭沧，他起棚的时候不是追求成绩最好的赛鸽来作种，而是买入可以直接作出成绩鸽的种鸽，有的种鸽自身没有比赛成绩而且价格高昂，但是因为友人何锦煌也赞同这样的理念，所以两人合伙组建了金奖鸽舍。
9． The limit of 14 days is the best way to challenge and check the muscle mass of the breeding pigeons. (Among the adult breeding pigeons, the elimination method of only giving water and no materials can survive 14 days is the most vital.) ）
此法有些剑走偏锋，不能轻易模仿。 This method tests the health of the pigeon itself, if the pigeon usually has any health problems, or is not energetic enough, but within a week it will appear in its original form. 一定要做好“死鸽子”的心理准备才能做这事。
10． A series of pigeons is mated by complete close relatives, retaining its characteristics without external blood, and in the needs of the race, the various bloodlines are mated together to form the most stable genetic factors.
In the concept of pigeon selection, the first blood is inherited, and then the first impression of the pigeon is felt by the feel, and the sense of balance and vitality is also one of the considerations, in the requirements of the skeleton, hardness and smoothness are the basic elements and the muscles of the pigeons, the meat quality is related to the key to the flight resistance and long flight of the pigeons, and because of the harder meat, it is less explosive and endurance.
Therefore, the flesh should be elastic, is the best choice, in terms of wings, the secondary feathers require a moderate width, not too narrow because of the secondary feathers, determine the flight buoyancy, the main feathers are to observe the feather shaft with the naked eye to be oily black and elastic, its exhaust should be smooth, the last 4 of the main feathers should be separated with gaps, and the tail end of the wing is sharp.
完全近亲交配的前提条件是要耐近亲的鸽种才合适，不耐近亲的鸽种此路不通。
11． The "ace AS" of the computer gomali family (this pigeon is the basic breeder of the computer family, because his pigeon is often beaten by it in races, so he simply bought it at a high price) This pigeon has won at least 16 first prizes, often leading for several minutes in the face of headwinds.
This is a big gamble of Gomari, buy a pigeon at the price of a villa, change the mind to fly people, find a way to buy someone else's artifact, such a back and forth, the strength of this and the other is twice the length, not to win is also very difficult.
Many years ago, when I started raising pigeons, I introduced seeds in the homes of fanciers whose local pigeons would fly well, basically as long as I gave enough money in good faith, there was nothing I couldn't buy, but when I won the money, I had to learn to keep a low profile and remember to invite the original pigeon owner to dinner.
12． If you touch hundreds of champions you will definitely find what they have in common, and if you find these commonalities, you will find the characteristics of good pigeons.
Regarding this article, I would like to recommend everyone to read this article from the Soma Way of Jiufanggao to talk about pigeons
