If you had to classify your knowledge of pigeons how would you classify yourself? would you classify yourself as a beginner, intermediate, advanced or expert? and why would you classify yourself as that?
It would also be great if you can add into your comments how long you have been involved with pigeons as well for example 1year, 20years etc.

to billy thanks all of yous out there great post read them all always learnin more thanks to chris and the champs someday i too will have a champ orlando fl
Carlos, I flew birds in the Orlando club since 1989 & in 1992 when i started medicating my birds i started winning. florida is a very warm & wet place, this is a breeding ground for parasites, this is why you have to keep on top of it. Themost common is Respitory-worms& canker. I also medicate the breeders when they are raising youngsters!. Give them in the water 1 week canker meds, the next week give them respitory in water, the next week canker in water. do this every monday & vitamins on tuesday. So, 1st MON respitory-Tuesday vitamins. Next monday-canker-tuesday vitamins. Next monday cocci-tusday -vitamins. when the babies are about to come out of the loft give them a WORMER & thenext day vitamins!. You will have the healthiest babies you have ever had in your LIFE!.

in this game you will always learn things no matter how much you think you no .ive had pigeons 30 years and stil learning .5yrs ago 1x1st 4yrs ago i bought van camps at great expense im now getting 16x1st per year . quality will always tell paul pashley blue diamond lofts at [email protected]
Have had birds since about 1960 on and off. Raced in 1962 and then again in 1980 for a few years. Just getting back into it and would consider myself a beginner. So much has changed in the last 30 years with medication etc.. It’s liks starting all over again. Looks like it will be about a year by the time I get lofts built and a team of old birds ready to go before I’ll be able to race. Should be fun. Oh yes I forgot about all the electronics needed now to race:) Should be interesting:)

Hi All! I’ve kept pigeons for 30 years and enjoy them immensely. It’s a great pleasure just to hear them coo and squeak when they’re babies. Sweetest creatures in the world. I bought my first pair of pedigreed racers in July 2010 and am planning on trying my hand at racing with their youngsters next year so I welcome all the information off your website here. Thank you!

I won’t rate myself, we all have lots to learn when it comes to pigeons…they’re like kids, they’ll make a liar out of you more times than not. I got my first pair of racing pigeons when I was 7. I traded a baby flying squirrel for 2 blue bars, it took me about a year to figure out that neither of them were hens so I turned them out, they stayed around for a while then took off looking for mates I guess. They never came back after that. I caught and kept bridge pigeons (commons) all through high school. I got racing pigeons and joined a club in 1980, been in it off and on ever since, I’ve learned a lot but nobody knows it all.
Hi,
It is really good to see so many experienced and famous fanciers on this web site but even more, it’s great to see soooo many beginners. Wow! This means that contrary to common belief, pigeon keeping is not a dying pass-time. Of course, how nice it would be if all you guys were racing pigeon fanciers!
As for myself, Ive been in and out of pigeons since I was a kid, around the age of 6. I live in India and there were always pigeons on the property as far as I can remember. The birds were “homers” and were used for the table. I used to love watching them fly in and out of the loft. After I got a job, I got some racing pigeons from the KRPC fanciers but it wasn’t ’til I met my mentor Lt. Col. Smith, that my knowledge and level got better.
To all fanciers in India, I suggest that we form a group first on the internet to promote the sport. Anyone interested can mail me at [email protected]

I guess I’d call myself an advanced beginner. I joined a club and started raising birds in March of this year. My loft is small but clean. My birds are healthy and have been through YB racing season. I only lost one bird in a race up until two weeks ago when I lost three. That race was a disaster for everyone. I’m planning my permanent loft but have been delayed due to a loss of full time work. This is not a poor mans sport. -Allen
