There is only one thing more which needs to be said, and that is if you try this System, give it a fair trial, because not only may it take two or three years for birds to reach their peak under this System, but it should never be forgotten that without condition, stamina and good-quality birds, no system can help you to win.
Download or read book Pigeon Racing Beginners Guide written by Kiyoko Retz and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-08 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigeon racing is the sport of releasing specially trained homing pigeons, which then return to their homes over a carefully measured distance. The time it takes the animal to cover the specified distance is measured and the bird's rate of travel is calculated and compared with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which animal returned at the highest speed. This book offers a broad-based introduction to pigeon husbandry, health, breeding, and competition for the novice enthusiast. Written in plain English, the text asks the central question, "Is pigeon racing the sport for you?" and provides all the necessary information for the reader to arrive at an answer. If the decision is yes, the newcomer will enter a fascinating world that calls for the cultivation of a real partnership with highly intelligent living creatures. In part, pigeons return to their lofts because they love their homes and their caretakers. The text includes information on loft design and outfitting, common health problems, and basic training. It explores race formats and administration and explains the intricacies of timing. The extensive glossary serves as an introduction to the pigeon-racing vernacular.
