Excuse me, how to tell whether a pigeon is a breeding pigeon or a racing pigeon?

In fact, there is no obvious difference in appearance between ordinary breeding pigeons and racing pigeons, but the nature of their work is different. Some pigeons get good grades themselves, but their offspring can't. This kind of pigeon belongs to pure racing pigeon. On the contrary, some pigeons have great offspring, but they don't perform well. This kind of pigeon belongs to pure breeding pigeon. Some have good grades and their offspring are super-developed. This kind of racing pigeon is called. Like Zhan Sen's 0 19 Gaby's Little Didi, whose number is Eternal Divos, all belong to this famous homing pigeon breeding pigeon. An excellent breeding pigeon should have a very good record. The record should not only trust the author's notes, but also the certificate or certificate issued by the local championship association is more credible and cannot be forged. Otherwise, false registration certificates will often hurt a pigeon breeder, which is what we should pay attention to. People who like to raise pigeons are naturally mixed. There are swindlers at home and abroad, which is undeniable. To make matters worse, some foreign pigeon breeders take advantage of the loopholes and tell the truth. For example, in the past, some people especially liked to import pigeons from Belgium, no matter good or bad, the demand was in short supply, so some unscrupulous businessmen did something to make huge profits. Eventually, a large number of original pigeons were imported, and some pigeons with poor quality were bought as treasures. A lot of original pigeons have been produced, and pigeons made by pigeons can no longer play. In the end, the original pigeons became nanny pigeons, and the pigeons bought with heavy money became waste. Some people don't want to lose them and use them as a tool to raise their offspring. Therefore, it is generally agreed that the pigeon altar in Taiwan Province Province is a Belgian garbage dump. I can't help smelling it. Therefore, if the pigeon has a record, its record should be issued by the guild, and the certificate must be signed by the owner and secretary, which is more credible and safer to be a squab. As the old saying goes, "A dragon is a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a child born of a mouse can make holes. Although this is a common saying, Tao has done all the genetic importance. If a pigeon has a good pedigree and a good record, but its offspring can't be as good as itself, that is to say, it doesn't have the conditions of eugenics, then I usually freeze it. Before talking about this topic, we should have a question: How do you test whether a pigeon has good genetic factors? If you are an experienced pigeon breeder, you must know that when a male pigeon has been mated with more than three female pigeons in succession, that is, six young pigeons have been mated with three different female pigeons, and none of these six young pigeons are very special, you can almost judge that the male pigeon is not very heritable. According to the above description, the conditions for being a pigeon keeper are as follows: a. bloodline. B. record. C. genetic quality. Health status. E. the age of the pigeon. Now the discussion is as follows: as early as 200 years ago, human beings attached great importance to the system of animals and plants, especially the pedigree of animals, and it would be satisfactory to handle it perfectly. For example, the dog association has meticulously recorded dog breeds. By the same token, the pedigree of pigeons, under the statistics and arrangement of a willing heart, Cui Cui is a kind of Homer pigeons, and as far as I know, there are about 50-60 species (for the detailed name, please refer to my article "On Homecoming"). Among these 50 or 60 lineages, it is necessary for you to choose an inscription that suits your geographical environment and management style. Why do breeding pigeons have to have a good pedigree? Because pigeons with blood have better homing ability and are not easy to get lost; At the same time, the reward pawn is higher. According to my own personal experience, when I signed up for the homing pigeon competition this autumn (73), I signed up for 2/kloc-0 homing pigeons, including eight public trainings and a qualifying round. Results In the qualifying round one week before the official competition, the only thing left was a snail creek of Daming Pigeon Factory made by Mr. Wang in Neihu, Taipei, which was returned within the qualified time, and at the same time, it continued to go through five customs and got the comprehensive 15, while the plenary session was only 29. This fact strongly proves the importance of bloodline. As far as the current numbering system is concerned, breeding pigeons without good pedigree are doomed to fail. It has long been an irrefutable truth that "bloodline" is the basis of all competitions. If there are only vagrants of unknown origin in your pigeon house, or if you meet some unknown pigeons, it is absolutely impossible for you to become famous at the racetrack. It would be wise to get rid of it and introduce some celebrities. Whether in Belgium or the United States, large pigeon houses and breeding centers attach great importance to pigeon records. The so-called "record" means that the pigeon flew a certain distance and finished flying within the specified time. Generally speaking, foreign flight records are divided into young pigeon group and adult pigeon group. Group B, that is, Y.B. (young pigeon) and O.B. (adult pigeon) that we see in genealogy books. The air distance is 200 miles, 300 miles, 500 miles, 600 miles, 1000 miles, 1200 miles and so on. The schedule of the competition is not as short as a few hours in our province, but a few days or even a whole week. If you don't believe me, you can see the imported pigeon clock at a glance. Each pigeon clock can run for at least one week after winding, and the dates are recorded from one to seven, which fully shows that the duration of the competition can be as long as one week. An excellent breeding pigeon should have a very good record. The record should not only trust the author's notes, but also the certificate or certificate issued by the local competition should be credible and impossible to falsify. Otherwise, false registration certificates will often hurt a pigeon breeder, which is what we should pay attention to. People who like to raise pigeons are naturally mixed. There are swindlers at home and abroad, which is undeniable. To make matters worse, some foreign pigeon breeders take advantage of the loopholes and tell the truth. For example, in the past, some people especially liked to import pigeons from Belgium, no matter good or bad, the demand was in short supply, so some unscrupulous businessmen did something to make huge profits. Eventually, a large number of original pigeons were imported, and some pigeons with poor quality were bought as treasures. A lot of original pigeons have been produced, and pigeons made by pigeons can no longer play. In the end, the original pigeons became nanny pigeons, and the pigeons bought with heavy money became waste. Some people don't want to lose them and use them as a tool to raise their offspring. Therefore, it is generally agreed that the pigeon altar in Taiwan Province Province is a Belgian garbage dump. I can't help smelling it.

As the old saying goes, "A dragon is a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a child born of a mouse can make holes.

Before talking about this topic, we should have a question: How do you test whether a pigeon has good genetic factors? If you are an experienced pigeon breeder, you must know that when a male pigeon has been mated with more than three female pigeons in succession, that is, six young pigeons have been mated with three different female pigeons, and none of these six young pigeons are very special, you can almost judge that the male pigeon is not very heritable. Next, wait until these six young pigeons are mature, and then look at these six young pigeons. If these grandchildren are of average quality and have no special performance, you can boldly conclude that this male pigeon is not hereditary, put it aside for the time being, or find another female pigeon to pair with, but it cannot be reused. Pigeons with good heredity will often give birth to the next generation of pigeons and be admitted to the next level immediately. In other words, we often see or hear that the children born to crowned pigeons are also crowned pigeons or admitted pigeons. My friend has a gray pigeon, Hosokawa Morihiro, and her daughter is comprehensive 2. Grandson is a pigeon with good heredity, and I believe it is appropriate to take her as the main force. Weak pigeons and pigeons with bacteria are usually in poor health. Not only that, bacteria can also be transmitted to young pigeons, so pay attention to hygiene. Strictly speaking, healthy pigeons won't get sick and can't carry bacteria. Pigeons have many common diseases, such as bursitis, dysentery, gastroenteritis, coccidiosis, emaciation, arthropathy, trichomoniasis, diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia, tracheitis, typhoid fever, cold, dermatosis, folliculitis, white eyes, keratitis, blepharitis, spasm, vitamin deficiency and so on. If you don't buy a breeding pigeon with poor health, you will be in big trouble and the consequences will be unimaginable. For example, a pigeon suffering from bronchitis, if you don't hold it in your hand and gently press its tail, you won't recognize it at all. But it is still crying in the cage. If you don't buy this kind of pigeon, it will take some time to treat it. If it is serious, it may not be so easy to treat. This is just an example, and other symptoms may be more troublesome! Generally speaking, a healthy pigeon, the male pigeon's appearance should be majestic and strutting; The mother pigeon is plump and charming. The body powder is very thick and the hair is silky. Eyes are bright, posture is light and flexible, feet are slightly parallel and close, scales of soles are bright and slightly dark red, and nails should be sharp and angular. Wings should be strong. At the same time, the gaze should be excellent. When someone comes near, be alert, slow and slow. All these conditions are met, and it can be regarded as a healthy pigeon. A novice pigeon breeder, a young man, once came to talk to me. Every time his pigeons are trained to a certain distance in the air, they either disappear or slow down, and sometimes they are completely annihilated. What is the reason? Later, I went to his pigeon house and checked his breeding pigeons, only to find that his breeding pigeons were all over age, ranging from about eight years old to more than ten years old. It is no wonder that the young pigeons are not brave enough and will give up halfway. From this example, we can confirm the fact that the age of breeding pigeons should not be too old, and the physical strength, heredity and endowment of old breeding pigeons may have deteriorated as a whole. Degraded breeding pigeons can't make first-class racing pigeons, but at most they can be used as young pigeons for breeding, not racing pigeons. At this point, some pigeon lovers may have to raise objections. Why do some old pigeons still make award-winning athletes' pigeons? If this really happens, it may be a very rare example. 1 1 ten thousand cases, no one can be found. Or a coincidence. In short, pigeons made by old pigeons (over ten years old) have little chance of entering the class, so try to avoid them. Generally speaking, it is correct to choose the appropriate age from one to eight. Because breeding pigeons from one to eight years old are in the golden age of a pigeon in terms of energy, posture and heredity, which is like a fleeting time. There is no need to worry about inappropriate situations such as lesions. Once they are bought, they can immediately start making the next generation of racing pigeons, except during the feather changing period, as long as the weather is not too hot, there is no other scruples. Why not? Spend the same money and buy breeding pigeons with the same blood relationship. I dare to see that you who are smart will definitely choose young and strong breeding pigeons to play pigeons better. For breeding pigeons that are too old, I sincerely suggest that you buy less. First of all, the selection of racing pigeons is different from ordinary pigeons in terms of overall appearance. For a racing pigeon, the difference of wing shape will determine its achievements in the competition. So the choice of wings is the most particular. No matter the arrangement of feathers or the radian of wings, everything can't be sloppy. The tail feather can be said to be the rudder of racing pigeons. However, it is better to have a longer tail feather or a shorter tail feather. There is no conclusion among racing pigeons, and it can only be judged by the actual results of racing pigeons. As we all know, a good racing pigeon is not necessarily a good breeding pigeon. On the contrary, a humble unrecorded pigeon can become a famous breeding ace pigeon. Therefore, to choose a good pigeon with a general vision, we can't tell the nuances of breeding pigeons from racing pigeons. Surface phenomena and internal potential are not the same thing at all. Below I will talk about the conditions that a good pigeon must have, to avoid novice drilling a "dead end", to get out of the misunderstanding of pigeon selection as soon as possible, and to quickly improve the level of pigeon selection. Head and neck-choose a pigeon with a big head, the head should be in proportion to the body, the back of the head should be dragged and full, the wider the head, the better, and the forebrain should be full, so as not to block the line of sight. The head of the male pigeon can be square, and the head of the female pigeon can be slightly smaller. Nose type-many pigeon breeders don't pay attention to this problem, but nose type can never be ignored. Old-school pigeons often have no rhinoma, and new strains of pigeons are improved into small rhinoma. Pigeons with small nose tumors do not affect the line of sight and fly fast. Regardless of the big nose and small nose, we should pay attention to the gap in the nostrils. If it is too small, it is easy to inhale during intense flight, which affects battery life. If the seam is too long and heavy, it is easy to irrigate in rainy days. Qualified ones should be smooth and tight, and it is better to be big but not open. Look at the neck-pigeons with thick necks usually have larger lung capacity, which is good. If the neck is thick and long, and the waist is well matched, mountain climbing is full of strength. Look at the eyes and sand-this is a deep-seated research topic and the most difficult to talk about. There are no absolute arguments and answers. Pigeon's eye is an important organ of pigeon's head, so we should not pay too much attention to it. There are no all-weather pigeon eyes. According to the climate and distance, it is in line with the scientific law to choose the appropriate classified eyes to participate in the competition, otherwise the effect will be very poor. Eye sand-sand particles must be dense, orderly arranged and uniform in shape. It must be clear and shiny when you look at it. The iridescent surface accounts for half of the distance from the whole eye to the orbit, indicating that it is qualified and suitable for the competition. The narrow color surface indicates that the one-way communication is powerful, but unstable. The iridescent sand shape connected with the pupil indicates good endurance and long-distance stability. The dark oil sand shape indicates that it can play better in rainy and foggy days, and the light sand shape can play better in good weather. Pupil-small pupil, flexible, adaptable to all-weather changes, extremely fast under strong light. Pupils are big enough to adapt to the dark and weak weather and can go home in the dark. Pupils who are too rigid and inflexible will not return to their nests when the climate changes. During the feeding, the eyes of the young pigeons did not change. If it is found that the clarity of the two-color black ring in the pupil is better and brighter, the higher the representative value is. If the second ring is found to be dull, it can be eliminated and cannot be left behind. For example, when pigeons are mature, yellow spots, green spots, linear objects, granular spots or clusters are observed in their pupils. It should be called "eye cluster", which is a treasure that is hard to find. It can be inherited, but other conditions must be better. It is necessary to leave such a pigeon as a seed. This is the most advanced breeding pigeon, eye sand and pupil. It's like an eye shooting at the pupil. This pigeon has strong eyesight and won't get tired after a long flight. Eye marks-there is a difference between long-distance eye marks and short-distance eye marks. The longer the distance, the longer the use of eye sounds. The eye marks of most long-distance homing pigeons are round, and the exudation area is black and bright, wide and rough. This kind of long-distance eye marker must not compete with pigeons with weak short-distance eye markers in a short distance. Long-distance eye marks are often manifested as "yellow eye marks", "green eye marks", "round eye marks" and toothed eye marks. We can choose long-distance and short-distance pigeons for competitions, which are divided into various types of typing competitions. If the eye sand is average and the pupils are clear within 500 kilometers, you can choose pigeon eye painting from a long distance, and I think the chance of returning to the nest will be greatly improved. On wing feathers-The wing feathers of pigeons are divided into three sections, namely, the upper wing bone, the aileron bone and the main wing bone. The skeleton should be strong and the ribs strong. The shorter the upper ribs, the better. If it is too long, there is no speed. The outermost three main wing tubes should be thick, and those of 8, 9 and 10 should not be slightly round, which is beneficial to long-distance flight. The main feather gap is too large, which is conducive to flying against the wind. However, it is easy to flip the wing when the wind is downwind, and air leakage will affect the speed. The whole wing should not be pulled too tightly, but should be flexible and relaxed, and it should be repeated during the game. The whole main and auxiliary feathers should form a beautiful curve and bend slightly inward. The main and auxiliary feathers must not form two sides, and only qualified wings will have good feather speed. On the secondary feather-many people do not necessarily pay attention to this problem, and the secondary feather is an important factor that mainly affects the homing performance. Look at the champion pigeon. Which feather doesn't have a beautiful accessory feather? Its main function is to control buoyancy, and good accessory feathers are the guarantee of endurance. Without it, it is impossible to win prizes in short distance and long distance. About the mouth and throat-the mouth shell must be hard, the skeleton must be hard, and the mouth cartilage must be soft. The color of the tongue should be reddish, and some pigeons have black spots on the tip of the tongue and the inside of the general mouth shell (some people call it black ambition), which is the result of heredity. If you find a sudden black tongue, it means that one of the pigeons' organs is sick and should rest more, which is not suitable for participating in the competition. On the muscle problem-to choose a good pigeon, it must have qualified muscles, and the pectoralis major should be plump and elastic. What kind of muscles meet the standard? As long as you press it hard with your fingers, you will feel a strong rebound, and when you tighten it, it will be like an inflated inner tube. This is a first-class muscle. If the pressure is too soft, it must be a pigeon that is not good at flying and is fast and slow. If you press hard, the short distance will be fast, and too much muscle friction in the long distance will easily lead to premature fatigue, resulting in fast front and slow back, and the impact will be rapid, which is also unqualified. On the keel, the waist and back-the pectoral muscles of pigeons are attached to the keel, and the quality of the keel is very important. A good keel is thick, hard and light, followed by length and angle. The keel angle should protrude forward as far as possible to facilitate the contraction of the pectoral muscle in a large area, and then contract in the direction of the anal phalanx and connect it horizontally with the phalanx. When the gap is one finger wide, it must not be too wide. Because when flying at high speed, the internal organs will retreat. If it is too wide, the gap will be too large to support the internal organs. You will feel very tired and have to land, which will have a quick impact. Pigeons can be roughly divided into two types: round waist and flat waist. Hands holding wings, two thumbs pressing the waist, it is easy to fall into inferior products. This kind of tail grows wings easily, and it can't be chosen without endurance. If it is cylindrical, that is, thick, solid and powerful, the tail will be straight or drooping after getting started, which will be flat and fast, and the person hooked will have good endurance. These two kinds of pigeons are good, and the waist and pigeon body should be integrated without the feeling of truncation. This is the good pigeon we want to choose. On the weight-a good pigeon must be "plump and light", that is to say, the pigeon is light, plump and not heavy, in order to meet the competition of various distances, which can be called a good figure and a good feel. Raising pigeons is a profound knowledge that can never be learned. Only by reading more books, communicating more, taking the essence and discarding the dross can we go up a storey still higher and truly appreciate the fun of raising pigeons.
