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?

I am in western Canada and had pigeons since I was 5 years old….I have had more than my share of success from my start to the present day. Many of the thoughts I had in my early years have been proven WRONG…..so now it is difficult to say anything is 100%…….There are more good pigeons than “good pigeon fanciers”…. so continue to learn and enjoy. As long as fanciers enjoy their pigeons – they do not have to be knowledgeable…..but one can enjoy the sport more if one always trys to learn and adapt…….as in life NOTHING remains the same.
I am in homing pigeons since 1956. I consider that i am an advanced in pigeons but i still learn everyday, not only new tricks but deeper knowlegde because nowadays there are more and more science in our sport. It is in SELECTION and PAIR MATCHING where we know little as breeding is THE lotery of combination of genes. We progress in the genetic principle but we are hardly able to properly avaluate the genetic potential of any pigeon beforehand. We all have to try it and it is where we are almost all equal and novice. A new comer can produce champions like a veteran. This is the beauty of this sport where experience plays a role but not major. Obervation of the pigeons and dedication are paramount. Good luck to all
I am a beginner to the sport less than one year.
I am from Pakistan and have been flying pigeons since 1959.I am a writer
of a 400 pages book, kabooteron ke bemarian or elaj[diseases of pigeons
and treatment] In this book there are220 four colour pictures of clinical signs
and postmortem lesions. According to Pakistani fancier this is the best book ever
written about diseases of pigeons. There are ten new diseases first time
I have detected, with there postmortem lesions pictures in my book. Beside
All I think I am beginner.
Hello Qasim,
Can you tell me if this book has been printed in english and who the publisher is? It sounds very interesting.
400 pages!!! That is VERY good for a beginner… 😀
Good luck to you and your birds.

i know everythink about the pigeon racing game when im winning i also have a looong nose lol.
Hey Pinochio!!!
long time, no see!!!!
I have kept pigeons since 2007. I do not race them as of yet. I raise modena pigeons and this is how the racing homers and I came to be together. The homers are by far the greatest parents ( feeders ). When I got my homers I got lucky and did get what I believe to be some good stock. I like to fly them and am trying to learn just what I need to know to compete in the racing world. This site is getting me closer. Thank you for your time. I would call myself a beginner.
I’m from Finland. I have been a racing pigeon loft since 2002. We have six in Finland in the summer of pigeon racing. I’ve won many times. I have a number of very good pigeons. Currently, pigeons are forty.
Advanced. Have had pigeons for 45 years off and on. Showing and racing. Have copd, but it is probably pbl as well. Search for knowledge constantly.
Comment on the increase in sickness lately. Germs are evolving everyday. The drugs used are becoming too low dosed and the germs resistant. Read a recent article that discovered the germs have developed a defense and an additive to the drugs will kill germs at a lower dosage, like when the drugs were first used. Flu for instance mutates as it travels. These are living organisms. Survival of the fittest.
I make mistakes and need to learn from them, like anyone else. Pigeon raising is great because there is so many avenues to travel and what you think is the best is up to you. The birds adjust.
I have been flying pigeons for over 30 years, but find I still make mistakes. I have a sign posted in my loft that reads “Your pigeons make far fewer mistakes than you do!” Most of our failures can be traced to our own mistakes, either comission or omission.
