Several matching methods of eye sand for breeding carrier pigeons

It is understandable that every homing pigeon enthusiast wants his pigeon to win the championship or be on the list in short-distance and long-distance competitions. However, first of all, we need to understand what kind of eye sand homing pigeons are suitable for short-distance or long-distance racing.

Homing pigeon eyes: the pupil is oval, the layers are clearly graded, the surface sand is evenly transparent, the color is bright and dry, like a condor, it is suitable for short-distance racing. (the sand is full of solid and broad-minded eyes, and the color is thick and unusual. The chest is wide, the tail is short, the wings are long and triangular, and the chest muscles are plump, such as tendons and legs are not high. Among the award-winning pigeons in the international carrier pigeon competition, shallow-eyed pigeons account for the majority.

2. What kind of eye sand is suitable for ultra-long-distance competition for carrier pigeons?

Homing pigeon eyes: the pupil is black, the light limit is not limited, the inner ring is wide, rough and serrated, the sand is clear, the particles are large, black, sharp eyes, quick response, suitable for ultra-long-distance competition. This sand pattern is common among the award-winning pigeons in previous carrier pigeon super-long-distance competitions in Shanghai, China.

Red through

Homing pigeon eyes can be divided into three categories (yellow eyes, trachoma, black eyes) there are ten sand molds (red sand, yellow sand, peach sand, cloud sand, oil sand, blood sand.) Each has its own characteristics. The combination of the sharp eyes of carrier pigeons (six groups)

1. Torch red sand:

There is green sand on the periphery of the pupil, yellow sand is the main component, and the surface sand is occupied by red sand.

The bottom sand is yellow, and the surface sand shows a small amount of scattered red sand, which is suitable for flying in low light and cloudy days.

2. Peach red sand:

There are white clouds around the pupils, the face is pink and sand, which is suitable for flying on cloudy days. Cloud sand:

There is a gray circle around the pupil, white cloud bottom, sand pink face, suitable for dark weather flight. 3. Clay red sand:

Yellow sand and red sand match evenly, suitable for flying in bright light and cloudy days.

Yuntao Red Sand: this sand mold lies between Yunsha and Peach Red Sand and is suitable for flying in cloudy days.

4. Coarse red sand:

With a yellowish background and a dark red veil, it is suitable for flying in bright weather.

Red sand with yellow background:

The bottom sand is yellow, the surface sand is red, and the yellow and red are half and half, which is suitable for flying in bright weather.

5. Blue water purple peach blossom sand:

The bottom of the eye sand is blue, and the face is purplish red, which is suitable for flying in cloudy days.

Soy sauce: suitable for flying in sunny days. There is a brown sand mold composed of yellow, red and black, the bottom sand is golden, the face sand is dark brown, and the pupil line is black, which belongs to all-weather sand type. 6. Red sand: both sand and surface sand are mainly composed of red sand, which is suitable for flying in bright weather.

Purple sand: the whole eye is occupied by purple sand, with a considerable flying altitude, belonging to the Gao Xiang pigeon tip type. The method of homing pigeon eye sand does not have a fixed pattern, which varies from person to person. Name pigeon, award-winning pigeon and fast pigeon should be paired with each other as breeding pigeons (weigh the pros and cons before pairing, learn from each other's strengths to make up for weaknesses), and then use the method of competition to determine the winning pigeon as a breeding pigeon, and then reclaim blood. There are many reasons for the speed of homing pigeons. It is impossible for us to predict the situation of pigeons flying outside. Only when pigeons have the conditions to homing can they hope to return to their nests. I personally think that the three points are one, orientation + speed + luck (when the pigeon is released in a different place, the pedigree does not work, only for reference).
