Hey,
I hope your enjoying the website, as much as I am enjoying making it! 🙂 and I really want to get to know you better, I also really want to get a good feel of your comfort level with pigeons this way we can continue to bring you more informative content that better suits your needs.
So in this weeks discussion of the week I would like to know…
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.
So go ahead and post your comments by clicking here.
I am really looking forward to hearing from you and getting to know you better!
Yours in the sport,

Discussion of the week, How Would You Classify Your Knowledge of Pigeons?
The Leading Online Pigeon Racing and Racing Pigeons Magazine – The Pigeon Insider
I’ve bean flying for 6 yrs, I’ve read every book including Rotondo. I’m just a little more than a beginner
I am an intermediate flyer. I have flown in three YB seasons and one OB season. I am realy looking foward to this years OB’s, as I have a team of 40. They all perfomed well as YB’s. I has 6 on the drop from 401 miles and 23 minutes ahead of the other birds in the club,and I am on the long end. Thanks for all your info. Yours in Sprots, MPR
Hi
At the moment im not even a beginner. Infact I have never ever held a pigeon in my hands, “But I can’t wait”. I recently read a couple of books about racing pigeons and now I got the bug…I have been snowed in for the last month and all I have dreamed about is PIGEONS…The snows gone…Today I started building my loft.

howdy,
its a good oppurtunity to learned more about to your website..i’m a beginner and its a big help for me to be part of you.. many thanks
hello chris, the articles are very good should help beginers a lot, i have had birds for eight years won my share of races. There is always more to learn, so keep up the good work
DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER…. LOOKS FOOL!!! LOL I think the best way to grade your pigeons is by racing them. I have had birds that looked like a million bucks…. and I couldn’t get anything from or out of them. Than you have your average looking bird clocking consistently and breeding winers. You can’t go wrong by breeding quality to quality.
Hi, I breed racing pigeons in Finland. I started with 2001. I have 50 racing pigeons. Finland has six pigeon race in the summer. I live on an island in the middle of the Finnish, Jyväskylä, Finland. I have twice won the Finnish title of the fastest loft. I’ve won many times the best old pigeon, and the best set of young pigeons.
i would say that i am a advanced fancier but it does not matter how good you are you can always learn,i read on pigeon chat yesterday instead of buying vitamins
for pigeons mix marmite in the drinking water and or mix baby powder on there food with a little oil ilooked in the supermarket today and i was surprised at the amount of vitamins that was in them.
i started racing in 1962 and we have done a lot of winning since then i have never added the firsts up i do know we have won over 80 firsts in the last four years
that is club fed and combine that is why i would say i am advanced but you never stop learning.
