How to recognize the eyes of pigeons

First of all, I want to state that I am neither an ophthalmologist nor a believer in pigeon eye, but I am not opposed to pigeon eye and its theory. Because existence is reasonable. Not to mention, Master Wang Shunxing is a master of pigeon-eye recognition. There is a joke that if you don’t look at the pigeon’s eyes, you have no eyes; if you just look at the pigeon’s eyes, you have no brain. Having said all this, I just don’t want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of supporting the pigeon-eye theory and opposing the pigeon-eye theory, so as to avoid unnecessary arguments. From a broad perspective, there are no more than four combinations of pigeon eyes when breeding pigeons (bull's eyes are also divided into yellow and sand): 1. Sand against sand; 2. Yellow against yellow; 3. Sand against yellow; 4. Yellow against sand. 3 and 4 seem to be the same, but actually there is a difference in that the male and female pigeons each have yellow eyes or trachoma. To skillfully use the four types of pigeon eye matching, it is necessary to clarify two issues at the next level: 1. Pigeon eye color matching (detailed in another article) 2. Recognition and matching of pigeon eye breeding characteristics The most important research on pigeon eyes Contributors include Messrs. Bishabo and Fleming from Europe. Their books "The Secret of the Eyes" and "Illustration of the Eyes of One Hundred Champion Pigeons of Great Britain" have influenced several generations of pigeon fanciers. Jiang Chenguang, Zhu Kuangwu and other gentlemen have also made outstanding contributions to the research on pigeon eyes in my country. Based on more than 40 years of experience in winning and losing racing pigeons, I have summarized my thoughts on the eye characteristics and mating of breeding pigeons as follows: Excellent breeding pigeons must have the following characteristics: two points - three lines - color and light to "Hanlin Shenliu" Brave Won the Xi'an City Pigeon Club's overall championship and six designated pigeon first prizes. My father and grandfather were both my shed champions. I went straight out of the "official world" and won the Xi'an City Pigeon Club's runner-up with 5,318 pigeons and four designated champions. Carefully Observing its pigeon eyes, it has the distinctive feature of both breeding and breeding. You should first look at the center of the pigeon's eye pupil, and then gradually move towards the edge of the eye. It is best to use a light source and a magnifying glass. First look at the pupil size. Large pupils are generally the result of inbreeding; pigeons with larger pupils have a more impatient personality; pigeons with small and tight pupils are calm and smart; of course, medium pupils are best. The pupils of short- and medium-range fast pigeons are larger than those of long-range fast pigeons. These pigeons with large pupils are impatient and unfriendly to people in the nest. If these pigeons have just laid eggs, they will be frightened and leave the nest when seeing many people. However, after nine days of deep incubation, these pigeons will no longer fly away when seeing people holding the eggs. At this time, fanciers can carefully observe whether the pupils of this pigeon with larger pupils that have entered deep incubation are much tighter and smaller than usual. , then this pigeon is expected to win the prize; if the pupils of the pigeons that enter the deep incubation are like dead fish eyes, then this pigeon will fail in any breeding. The female "Hanlin 20" is a double inbreeding product of Gomaly 199 and Sanges. She flew 500 kilometers by herself and won the third prize. He has won the 500-kilometer championship in the city pigeon club and the national judging championship among his peers. He has many cocks, and he has produced many first, second, third and fourth prize pigeons in the middle distance. Points, lines, light and colors are all excellent. The size of the pupil and the strength of its contraction are not only related to the light source, but also to the pigeon's personality. Of course, the fish eyes produced by inbreeding are commonly known as dead eyes, which is one of the obvious manifestations of inbreeding failure. There is no hope of breeding or flying such sluggish inbred pigeons. When looking at the pupils, pay attention to whether there is any plexus. I don’t understand the mechanism, but it is a fact that pigeons with a bit of blindness mostly come from champion families, and their breeding value is very high. Looking further out, there is the inner buckle. The inner line buckle is one of the key parts to identify breeding pigeons. Bishabo divided the inside dunk into thirteen types, which is too cumbersome. According to my opinion, a good internal buckle should have five characteristics: "wide, thick, deep, cracked, and dotted". A good inner cable buckle will often be wide, thick, and deep into one. For young outstanding breeders and racing pigeons, you can often see the inner buckle with your eyes under the sun. Just like using a 2B pencil to draw a circle along the inner circle of Alsha, the inner buckle of the trachoma can also appear silvery white. As the pigeons get older, the inner wire buckles of good breeding pigeons often form the shape of a city wall. Experienced pigeon fanciers will be familiar with the width, thickness and depth of the inner thread buckle. Cracks and light spots on the inner buckle are characteristics of higher-level breeding and racing pigeons. Cracks mean that the connection between the inner buckle and Alsha is not connected in a plane at a certain section of the entire circle, but cracks and steps are formed along the circumference, so that the Alsha and the inner buckle are not on the same plane, and many big-prize pigeons are at two points. There are obvious cracks and steps at the five o'clock position. The parents of many grand prize pigeons often have obvious cracks and steps in the back of the head between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock. This is also the unspoken secret of many mature racing pigeons in identifying fast pigeons and excellent breeders. A hybrid of "Hanlin Little Bush", it won the 500km overall championship and designated pigeon championship in the 2008 Municipal Pigeon Association Autumn Race, and its daughter won the third place in the one loft. The dove's eyes and lines are all good, the color is clear and bright, and it is interesting to read. It should also be emphasized here that, in addition to the dots, if there are sand dots of the same color as the base sand inlaid on the inner buckle or Alsha, it is also a sign of a superior pigeon. Similar to the cracks discussed above, if the sand spots appear in the aspiration area, it is a good racing pigeon, and if they appear in the back brain area, it is a good breeder. Looking further out is Alsha. Alsha also has five points of interest: width, color, points, lines, and light. It should be observed in conjunction with the five characteristics of the inner line buckle: width, thickness, depth, cracks, and points. Width: 1. Generally, the Alsha of crossbred pigeons is narrower, and the Alsha of continuous cross-breeding pigeons is flat and weak; the Alsha of outbred and inbred pigeons is wider; the long-range, especially the ultra-long-range ones are even more obvious, and at 6 o'clock At 9 o'clock, it penetrates towards the lower corner of the mouth; medium-range fast pigeons often have the characteristics of determination. 2. Inbred breeding pigeons, especially successful breeding and breeding pigeons, have a wider Arsha in the back brain area from 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock. Color: The color of pigeon eyes can be divided into solid color and variegated color; sand eyes and yellow eyes.

Because the recognition of colors has strong subjective consciousness and individual differences, I will discuss it later. 1. Most solid-colored trachoma Alsha are pure white, pure gray, and pure black; most yellow-eyed Alsha are pure yellow and dirty green. Solid-colored Arsa pigeon eyes are mostly made from inbred, outbred, or pigeons of the same species or homologous origin. Of course, pigeons with different colors and the same phase can also be made, but the proportion is not high. This pigeon is a daughter of Bond's Godfather with white feathers and Witbuik, and is bred from a distant outbred. His three brothers are all champions of 10,000 pigeons. They are wide, gray-black, and solid color Alsa, with dotted lines in the breeding area and front corners. Straight out of many prize-winning pigeons. The eyes bear the distinctive characteristics of Clark 05 and the Bond family. 2. Regardless of trachoma or yellow eyes, the variegated areas of Lizhi and Wuzhi are darker than the rest, making the entire circle of Alsha variegated. The Part Colored Arshad is produced by mating two Arshad pigeons of different solid colors. The most common type is pure white-eyed pigeons paired with pure yellow-eyed pigeons, which will often produce offspring with yellow circles and lying pigeons, showing the genetic advantages of cross-breeding. In the selection of breeding pigeons, when it comes to inbred pigeons or pigeons that are used both for breeding and breeding, the solid color Alsha is often chosen. As for the performance pigeons, especially the winning pigeons imported from foreign lines for crossing the bridge, you should choose more variegated Li Zhi and Wuzhi pigeons. Mating purebred, pure-colored eyed pigeons with the hybridized variegated-eyed racing performance pigeons will produce miraculous effects in evolution. This pigeon itself is the Barcelona Provincial Champion and AS Ace Pigeon. It has won many awards from 300 to 1000. It has won three prizes from the Xi'an Pigeon Club. Its granddaughter has won the 300km champion and her children have won multiple one-loft prizes. There are abundant inner buckles and Alsha midpoint lines, which are rare. In the pigeon world, there is a saying that pigeons with violet eyes and dirty green pigeons with yellow eyes are the best, and this has been proven by practice. Points and lines, these two characteristics can be discussed together. No matter where the point in Arsha appears in the same color as the bottom sand, it should be applauded first, because only good breeders and racing pigeons can Only then will abundant points and lines appear. No one can tell what the mystery is. However, according to the results of my many years of practice, pigeons that have the midpoint and line in Alsha have a higher winning rate, while those that don’t have it are mostly Huang He and will never come back. The dots in Arsha mean speed. The speed points of racing pigeons mostly appear in the forebrain area of ??Arsha from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock. It is common to see the capillary lines cutting Alsa vertically side by side. Of course, there are also many irregular shapes infiltrated into Alsha, such as S and M. It is the same as the points and lines in the inner line buckle. If it enters the front corner area, it indicates that the pigeon has speed. If it enters the back head area, it indicates superior breeding ability. Line, this feature is even more peculiar: "Hanlin Crown Prince" is the father of four championship pigeons (including "Hanlin Little Bush" in the picture above). It is produced by double inbreeding of Houben and Janssen Little Rocket, and the inside line buckle is obviously in line with Alsha. , multiple points and lines infiltrating, typical eyes of breeding pigeons. 1. Any line that splits in the direction of Alsha indicates that the pigeon has excellent long-distance flying ability. Many ultra-long-distance pigeons and the "straw hats" who win prizes in bad weather have this distinctive feature. Especially in the determined area and lying area or the solid color eye, the hair of Arsa is split, and the inner line buckle and eye are obviously raised. These pigeons are often the kings of competitions. Light, the luster in the eyes is a bit difficult to describe. Yin Yi, the famous prime minister during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was a master of cooking. The king ordered him to teach other chefs, but they all couldn't learn it. The king asked what, and Yin Yi replied: The red, yellow and blue fire in Yin's eyes cannot be measured by anyone. As a result, Yin Yi's craftsmanship was lost. The light in the pigeon's eyes shows the origin and temperament; it shows wisdom and perseverance; it shows nobility and contempt; it also shows the domineering power and cowardice of the racing pigeon in the face of battle. Interpretation of the luster in the dove's eyes, it is difficult for those who do not have superior understanding to understand the pigeon, and it is even more difficult for them to realize the true meaning clearly expressed in the silent luster of the dove's eyes. There are often experts who can identify champions and top prize pigeons among many pigeons by looking from a distance without holding any pigeons in their hands. When asked why, the answer is: bright eyes. In ancient times, there was a saying that "the one who sits in the middle is not a king, and the one who stands with a sword is a true hero." During the Three Kingdoms period, the princes could see through Cao Cao who was pretending to be a guard at a glance. The reason was: "The person holding the sword has eyes like a torch." They can recognize the dove's eyes like a torch. It is definitely not a day’s work. One more thing to say here, to recognize the dove's eye, you must never remain still and seek the sword. The philosopher said that there is no such thing in the world. With two identical leaves, a person cannot jump into the same river in his life. Likewise, racing pigeons will vary based on health, age, mood, condition and gender. For example, when judging the eyes of male pigeons, they should be one level higher than those of female pigeons, so the eyes of male and female pigeons should not be generalized. Both pictures are photos of pigeon eyes of "Hanlin Shenliu". The picture on the left was taken when the young bird won the prize; the picture on the right was taken four years later. His eyes are like those of a dove, maturing day by day. This article only makes a preliminary discussion on the inner buckle, Alsha and their characteristics, and other parts of the pigeon eye have not yet been covered. Faced with the numerous dove eyes, we will definitely benefit a lot from having less useless arguments and more in-depth discussions.
