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.

l ve been involved with this kinda hobby more than 3 years now, and ican rate myself as intermidiate now, it is because of your articles. thank u so much for sending infos and please send me more “knowledge”. you know i want to purchase your books but you know, in the philippines it is hard to earn money, i hope you understand our situation here, but time will tell, maybe someday. thank you so much, more power, and God bless.
I have been involved with pigeons since I was 15 yrs old, now I am thirty. One thing I know you never know everything
30 years in the sport and still learning but love every minute of it
Hi chris,I’am truly a beginner…2 yrs in the sport, definitely still in the learning stage..and I’am really learning a lot from this site..keep it up..
Well i think that if anyone classify themselves as an expert he is becoming a “big head”. Even the best breeders learn everyday something new about our feathered friends.
Hello-
I have been breeding and racing pigeons for over 48 years and I have won awards at every level including winning at some of the more prestigeous one-loft races accross the U.S.A. I still look at myself as a novice in the sport and keep an open mind for almost anything under discussion. The things that I have found most true in the sport are that one must keep only the best amongst his stock and keep them healthy and in condition, the success will follow.
As far as keeping the best goes I have also found that there has been very little genetic advancement in the last 50 years in terms of the quality of the stock goes. I have found this out by spending hundreds of thousands of dollars purchasing direct descedents of some of the best proven bloodlines available worldwide only to find they are no better than the best I already had. I still purchase winning stock but probably shouldn’t as it takes energy away from the birds I know can win.
In the end it isn’t as dfficult to obtain quality stock as it is to maintain a quality program. A flyer can win with less than quality stock if his birds are healthy and in condition but he can’t with the best birds in the world if they are not healthy or in condition. Its that simple.
guys there is only one place to start , at the beginning its good to be thier listen to your self not to many persons and do your own research , your competitor will not give you the full puzzle only pieces he wants to beat yoy remember you are flying against him not with him.
A beginner, i have been involved in pigeon racing for about a year and a half now. I have been inundated with conflicting advice from other fanciers, this is why i enjoy your articles so much, they are very informative. I am in the process of formulating my own program for my birds and i am using many of your articles to assist me with this. Keep them coming.

i started this last year 2009 about August, and i must say am at the sport i started this last year 2009 about August, and i must i’m a beigginer at the sport so i’m still learning about it coming cross this site has help me to learn about the sport meeting people that are willing to show and tell a thing or to. now talk about tipplets is another thing i flew those about 13 yrs. some things are the same as far as health and caring of the pigeon. To me flying Tipplets is a relaxing time on a Bronx,ny roof top watching then just clap around the “coop” cause we dont call it a loft, but for homers it a loft, anyways in one side of pigeon game i flew them to catch and make them hit the pins…”intermeida” and in the racing pigeon sport am still in pamper “dipers” so I’m a beginner.
