Recently I have heard many fanciers say that the pigeons with their shoulders shrugged should be eliminated. In fact, the case of the pigeon shrugging is not specifically analyzed, and the author refuses to be one-size-fits-all.
The shruging pigeon is actually a physiological shrug, this shrug is permanent, and the homing of pigeons with this characteristic has no effect, but it is definitely not a high-speed pigeon. There is also a case of catching the pigeons in the hands, they shrink their heads in the hands of people, the shoulders are very ugly to look up, there is always a feeling of not being able to catch, driving the two wings to rush forward, the hand can only pinch the tail of the feather, and so the two legs of the pigeons are constantly staring, there is always a feeling of wanting to escape and fly away, so that we grasp up and lose the corresponding sense of balance, for such pigeons, many fanciers for such pigeons are short distance fast pigeons, is a very good racing pigeon.
Speaking in terms of actual results, a fancier said that he had one such hen in his family and won a good result of 9th place in the final of the loft. There is also such an example, a fancier obtained a of Jensen's blood, the pigeon is from the Netherlands famous Jensen pigeon breeder, this pigeon stands in a majestic cage, shrugged his shoulders after getting started, was not welcomed by the new owner, in this complex identity of neither a first-line breeding pigeon nor a nanny, it was finally allowed to have its own young pigeons after feeding two litters of other young birds, the two pigeons never lagged behind, flew the most vigorously, did not get sick, and did not drag their legs in training. In the end, one of the cocks won the overall championship in 8 minutes of the 350 km young birds' race, and the owner regretted that he had hung the wrong pigeon in the ring and moved to the breeding loft.
Some pigeons shrug their heads, which is actually a problem with the wing bones, which does not affect the playing of the race. The wing bones of pigeons can be divided into three segments, namely the upper bone closest to the back, the parawing bone and the main wing bone. People often say that the upper bone is shorter and better, too long and has no speed. Moreover, the upper Bo bone should be thick, so that it is powerful, many fanciers always like to pinch the upper Bo bone, short and thick for the best. If the pigeon's upper bone angle is upwards, you can see the phenomenon of shrugging. With this concept, it is possible to further conclude that it is a pigeon, because in the hand, there is a feeling of easy slipping. There is less resistance when flying, and it is easier to fly.
However, there are also many different opinions, believing that the shrugged pigeons are mostly the product of breeding pigeon mismatch. The loss of hybridization and the degeneration of inbreeding are often manifested in the absence of bones, strength, and morphology in the back. There are also old breeders who have lost their vitality and are more than ten years old, and the pigeons that have been produced will often have weak shruging pigeons. Such pigeons will not perform well regardless of breeding or release. Because, the shrugged pigeon is often placed behind its keel, and it is obviously short, resulting in a large crotch, a soft waist, a loose tail, coupled with a concave back, a weak back muscle, and a sign of unevenness at both ends and weakness in the middle bone.
How the shruging pigeons are, the pigeons fly a drop of blood, and the results are the test criteria. But there is no denying that the shruging pigeon will definitely affect our appreciation of his beauty. Good-looking pigeons may not be able to fly, and unsightly pigeons are not necessarily bad, the key is to see what the fancier pursues.
