Last weeks discussion of the week we asked what you thought the current state of pigeon racing was? alarmingly the general consensus seemed to be that the sport of pigeon racing was dying and the main reason fanciers felt this way seemed to be cost. The Pigeon Insider has fanciers from all over the globe so it was pretty interesing to see some of our friends from other parts of the world say that the sport was growing. Maybe we can learn from each other and get the pigeon racing sport to grow universally all around the world by learning what each one of us are doing.
So in this weeks discussion of the week we would like to know?
What do you think fanciers can do to help the pigeon racing sport grow?
Post your comments on what you think each one of us can do to help promote the sport, also let us know if you have any ideas on how to lower costs etc. If your in an area where the sport is on the rise post your comments and let other fanciers know what has worked in your area.
We will be forwarding all of your comments to pigeon racing organizations around the world, Hopefully; together we can help the sport grow universally around the world.
Pigeon racing is declining because it is not advertised enough
I will help anyone start .
Also my other hobbie in ring collecting is also slow now.

First we must run our clubs like a business. We must Brand ourselves to the general public. We target all ages not just the youth or the retired . Who’s accountable for our sport? We are. When was the last time you promoted your sport or helped in a club fund raiser? I agree with Tom Nettis, we should have a united front and spear head an advertising campaign. If your not helping do something for our sport then your part of the problem.
of course a fancier can help the game by teaching, selling birds that perform not the rejects. cuz this is the problem in our country(Philippines), the one that sells good pigeons trick those who don’t know how to select good birds.and we could not buy birds at a low price, prices are sky high. if there cheap ones, then expect they are the rejects. so to sustain this sport, all fanciers should try to help each other, not to trick the beginners.

what a lot of people are ignorant of is what our feathered friends did for mankind yes im talking about the 1st and 2nd world wars those little buggers had hearts like lions dogging enemy fire and also trained perigons that were trained by the germans to bring them down what im getting at is a lot of people think they are just flying rats people need to be more educated on how inteligent our little friends really are to me and many of you will agree they are the ultimate little athletes people need to be educated eg on breeding medication im talking about whats in your pantrys ive learnt to be my own vet dont get me wrong vets do a fantastic job again all the very best to all fanciers world wide craig poido
New club members need alot of assistance at the beginning.A good first impression starts with assisting in the need for young bird stock.Senior club members need to show that thay welcome and support the new flyer by giving some young birds and help educate the newest part of the club.By positive assistance the new flyer will be more involved,enthused,and develop faster as a vital part of the team.Ones persons opinion and thanks for asking.
sounds like a good plan to me.
promote racing activities using television and video…
more interaction with fanciers around the world sharing know hows with other fanciers importing good bloodline helping in getting good bloodlines will be of great help
