How to distinguish the pros and cons of homing pigeons?

Pigeons can't return to their nests, and the speed is affected by many factors, such as breeding training, pedigree, weather and so on. There are still many unfamiliar topics in pigeon racing research, which have not yet moved from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom. There are different opinions on pigeon identification, and there is no need to insist on consistency or promise to identify other mistakes, but it does not deny the general standard of pigeon identification. Pigeonracing is like athletes, and pigeon breeders are like coaches. Selecting excellent homing pigeons is just like selecting athletes. Different sports have different standards for athletes. There are two kinds of pigeon racing competitions in the world: one is bodybuilding competition, that is, "pigeon tasting competition", and the other is speed competition, that is, exhibition competition, which is divided into short-distance competition, long-distance competition and ultra-long-distance competition. When choosing homing pigeons, the shape, shape and eyes of short-distance homing pigeons are very different from those of long-distance and ultra-long-distance homing pigeons. The homing of racing pigeons is not a good result, because homing is the foundation and the speed is the top, just like 100 floor. Without foundation, there is no roof. Therefore, the identification standard of racing pigeons should be based on the requirements of speed, not just homing. Knowing the importance and necessity of pigeon identification, we can discuss the identification standard of racing pigeons. If every part of the racing pigeon meets the standard, it is difficult to reach them completely. Every crowned military pigeon is not perfect, but there is a common standard, that is, having a good pedigree. I think the first thing to choose a racing pigeon is the pedigree. The next generation of champions can't all be champions, but the previous generation of champions must have the pedigree of champions. Pigeons with good pedigree are generally superior in appearance and quality, that is, pedigree complements its appearance and quality. An excellent racing pigeon must be of moderate size. Balance and coordination are the most critical conditions for an excellent homing pigeon to show its appearance, while the length and weight are closely related to the balance and coordination of the whole body. In the team of champion pigeons, there may be carrier pigeons that are too big or too small, but most champion pigeons are of medium size. The right or wrong of pigeon body is that the width of the whole body is relative to the length of sternum and the length of waist, abdomen and tail. Racing pigeons with moderate sternum length and tail length are called long-body pigeons. The sternum is moderate and the tail is short and short. The former has endurance, while the latter has better explosive power, which is effective for short and medium distance races, but not obvious for long and ultra-long distance races. Therefore, when people identify pigeons, according to their own experience, when you hold a pigeon conveniently, your thumb is pressed on the pigeon's back, and four fingers are pressed on the pigeon's abdomen, which is exactly the whole keel. By weighing, it feels similar to or slightly lighter than a pigeon. Generally speaking, this kind of pigeon is of medium size. If the abdomen is bigger than one hand and the weight feels heavier than the body, the homing pigeon may be too big and too heavy. Of course, everyone's hands are different in size, depending on themselves. The ideal homing pigeon must have a round body, an open chest, left and right wings lying flat on both sides, and it is a complete sphere. The width of the front body of homing pigeon should be the sum of the width of shoulder blade, chest and wings, and the rear body and tail are conical. Pigeons must be strong in all parts of their bodies, smooth in all parts, slightly concave in the abdomen and slightly convex in the back, and streamlined. The head is the center of intelligence, and the head and neck are also an important part of a racing pigeon's physical strength. The comprehensive standard of the head is strong, the neck and brain are full, the structure is vertical, the neck is not too thick or too thin, there is no groove, the left and right sides are moderate, and the neck-chest junction tends to be flat, which is a necessary condition for excellent homing pigeons. The front end of the mouth should be thin, the back end should be thick, the tightness should be good, the corners of the mouth should be deep, the throat should be thick, and the trachea mouth should be large, which is conducive to breathing and breathing in flight. Nasal tumors should be white and compact, especially long, narrow and tight nasal tumors. Pigeon's eyes swing freely, the position of eyeball growth is biased to the upper corner of the back of the head, and the center line of the corner of the mouth almost points to the eyeball. An excellent racing pigeon's eyes should be confident, fearless and wild. Pigeon eyes must be bright, dry and clean, and the skin is tightly wrapped around the eyeball. The pupil is very sensitive to the change of light intensity and the dynamic feeling of the outside world. An excellent racing pigeon can quickly find the abnormal dynamics and sounds in the air or on the ground, keep an eye on it and be eager to fly. Eye sand should be bright in color, clear in silk lines, three-dimensional, deposited and slightly rough, with a highly concentrated sand layer, and the iris should be mixed into filiform blocks. Iris arrangement is not required to be neat, but it should be distinct. Bones need to be strong. As far as flight is concerned, only a rigid and flexible skeleton structure can maintain a good flight frame. Generally speaking, a good homing pigeon must have a healthy body, a strong figure and a smart, calm and confident behavior, especially a sense of balance. Male pigeons are elegant in appearance, while female pigeons are dignified and delicate in appearance. A good homing pigeon should be "quiet and agile", have affinity for its owner and be alert to strangers. With these standards and comprehensive conditions, homing pigeons can be identified and selected, and finally high-quality homing pigeons can be cultivated.
