How to identify the age of pigeons

@ # @ 247 years @ generally can live for 10 years and 15 years, some as long as 20 years. But as a breeding pigeon, the best breeding age is 2-4 years old, up to 5 years old. Knowing how to identify the age of pigeons is of great significance for timely pairing breeding and breeding. The age identification of pigeons can start from the following aspects.

1. Tip: the older you are, the more blunt and smoother the end of the mouth is. The tip of the pigeon tip is pointed, soft and slender; the mouth of the child pigeon is thicker and hard; the mouth of the adult pigeon is thicker and shorter, and the end is harder and slippery. As a result of feeding young pigeons, adult pigeons grow cocoons at the corners of their mouths and form scabs. The older the pigeon is, the more pigeons are fed, and the bigger the cocoon at the mouth horn is. Pigeons over 5 years old have scabs as thick as sawteeth on both sides of their mouths.

two。 Nose tumor: the nose tumor of squab is ruddy; the nose tumor of child pigeon is light red and shiny; the nose tumor of pigeon over 2 years old is light pink white; the nose tumor of pigeon over 4 years old is pink white and becomes rough. The nose tumors of pigeons over 10 years old are dry and rough.

3. Feet: children's pigeon feet are bright red in color, the scales are not obvious, the scales are soft and flat, the toenails are soft and pointed, and the pads are soft and slippery; pigeons over 2 years old have dark red feet, fine and obvious scales, scales and toenails are slightly hard and curved; pigeons over 5 years old, their feet turn purplish red, the scales are obvious and thick, the scales are prominent and rough, and there are small white scales on them, the toenails are rough and bent, the feet are thick and hard, and often tend to one side.

4. Eyes: the eyes of young pigeons rotate flexibly, the eyes of young pigeons and young adult pigeons are bright, and the nictitating membrane blinks faster. The eyes of the old pigeons are dull and the flexibility is reduced. In addition, the wrinkles on the naked skin around the eyes of young pigeons are very fine, and the wrinkles become thicker and thicker with age.
