What is the pigeon's food?

Pigeons eat millet, rice, corn (corn), wheat and other grains and cooked ones. Bird food, chicken feed, sand (to help digestion) and so on are similar to feeding chickens.

Pigeons are vegetarian and monogamous, and it is best to feed them on the balcony or rooftop.

Pigeons should have nests during the breeding season, because they only need a bamboo to rest in other times.

Some people say that pigeons' feathers will be worn away when exposed to various external factors in winter?

That's some nonsense. Feathers don't wear, but they vary according to the feeding situation. Widowed pigeons have worse feathers than those who are often outside, because they don't eat feed that can produce the necessary feather oil.

★ Have you ever seen a pigeon with stiff wings?

Never. If so, be aware that they may have paratyphoid fever.

★ What training do you want the young pigeons to do?

Throwing starts at 56 kilometers. After their first competition, I will let them do solo training of single pigeon throwing from different directions. A few years ago, I took them to Leland to fly with Scottish pigeons there.

★ Can you train young pigeons to fly on the perch board?

I will. But I won't compare with them, because they are late-born pigeons.

★ Are there any requirements for the young pigeons in the pigeon house?

I am very strict with them. Train every week unless their feathers fall off. I'm skeptical about young pigeons who made two mistakes.

★ Did you let the young pigeons fly over the sea race?

Not at present, because there is no cross-sea competition for young pigeons. If there is, I will train 10 early-born young pigeons, because they must be mature enough to do individual training. I will use a jealousy system, that is, they can't hatch eggs after pairing.

★ Will the cross-sea race hurt them?

No, they will become good old pigeons when they grow up. I will change the way slightly, so that when they are one year old, they will only take part in two cross-sea races instead of running 800 kilometers.

★ Moreover, can the young pigeons who are completely exhausted from flying for any reason recover and win the long-distance race again?

The exhausted pigeons can certainly make up for it and win the game again. 3 ~ 4 days, only feed them to remove the feed, let them eat sorghum, safflower seeds, reed millet and other small grains. This is what I call light food. For me, the seasoning will never be barley.

★ How many young pigeons have you recovered?

After my care, I will be satisfied if I can recover 50%. Usually I can only remedy less than 25% of the young pigeons.

★ When did you start feeding young pigeons with different feeds?

After they took part in the last squab competition. During the competition, I will add some wheat to their comprehensive feed until it runs out. Then, I will buy newly harvested small broad beans as feed.

★ Why use newly harvested broad beans?

Because the old one is too dry. I think farmers sow with fresh broad beans, which is certainly good for pigeons.

★ What kind of feed is used after the season?

In winter, the feed is 50% broad beans, 25% white peas rich in protein and 25% corn mixed with some wheat.

★ Will you make it easier for pigeons who compete frequently after 1 year old?

No, all my 1 year-old pigeons have to fly three sea races. A long-distance running event that flies 800 kilometers in good condition. They must compete more fiercely than the old pigeons.

★ Why is it so strict?

If they can't fly 800 kilometers at the age of 1, they can't fly at the age of 3/120 kilometers.

★ Do they continue the same pattern at the age of 2?

No, I think two years old should be a rest period, although I still have to fly 800 kilometers. They managed to fly 960 kilometers, but I think it's too expensive for them. Now I think 800 kilometers is enough.

★ How do you know when individual pigeons need to retire?

When it slows down and doesn't work as hard as before. This depends on experience and understanding the characteristics of each pigeon. If I doubt them, let them rest at home.

★ Would you say that you have a good eye for pigeons?

I can choose the best pigeon according to the way pigeons look at me on the perch. When there is something in them, you can detect it, especially the mother pigeon. They may not be the best player pigeons, but they must be the best breeders.

★ Can you pick out your best pigeons before they go on stage? I can't.

★ Which do you prefer, the female pigeon or the male pigeon, which can fly better?

Mother pigeons, because I trust them more.

★ Why are there so few surviving old pigeon families today?

Because pigeon lovers lack confidence in them. I have seen many excellent old pigeon families in recent years, but almost none of them have been preserved.

★ Has the quality of pigeons improved in recent years?

I think there are more pigeons that can fly long-distance running now, and fewer pigeons really stand out.

★ Why are there fewer prominent pigeons?

Maybe it's because we treat pigeons differently now and expect too much from them.

★ Do you think there is anything wrong with racing pigeons now?

Yes, if a pigeon lover forgets to collect pigeons, he should be warned and punished, not suspended. To some extent, I think the widowed pigeon has also damaged the sport, which shows that pigeon lovers are too greedy and like fast food culture too much. Many homing pigeon lovers have many short-distance racing pigeons that can't finish the cross-sea race, so they will raise more short-distance racing pigeons instead, and they also plan not to participate in the cross-sea race. We will soon be able to restore the pigeon racing to its previous state and regard it as a real sport. Then 100 young people will be encouraged to participate in pigeon racing together.

★ Have you tried other management methods?

For a long time, I used my own way, and I felt that I had not changed much. When you find an effective method, don't change it.

★ If the pilot score 10 is full score, how many points do you think you can get?

This is a bit difficult to answer. But I think it is nine.

★ What about the identity of the pilot?

It's also a nine. There are always some pigeons making mistakes in the competition, which is caused by human error.

★ Are there any faults in your memory that particularly impress you?

My biggest mistake may be asking too much of a mother pigeon. The pigeon did well in Nantes, but I want it to fly further. Now a pigeon has completed about 720 kilometers of long-distance running. Judging from its post-race state, I can know whether it can fly further.

★ If you want to win, which is more important, pigeon lovers or pigeon players?

If it is a long-distance race, the importance of the two is equal, and pigeon breeders and contestants should be in the same excellent state. Pigeons need to know their mood. The most important thing is to know how and when it can help you win the game.

★ Does your management method apply to excellent homing pigeons of the same level from other places?

The first few generations of young pigeons will not adapt to my way, but the last one or two feathers can do it and win.

★ If you can only start over with your own two pairs of pigeons, which pair of pigeons should you choose?

First of all, I think I won't just start with four pairs of pigeons, because I need more pigeons to maintain a pigeon family. But if I want to pick eight feathers, I can go into the pigeon house and pick them out now.

★ Have you seen or heard any pigeon racing news that makes you angry?

Yes, someone told me how to raise pigeons.

★ Which pigeon friends do you admire most?

My highest evaluation is Disli's late pigeon friend Bill Martelin. Because he has never owned more than 65,438+02 pairs of pigeons, and his performance in the Nantes duet competition, especially his 65,438+0-year-old pigeon, is amazing. At present, I want to work in R&; Smith is as good as other pigeon lovers in this country.

★ Do you have a golden rule for long-distance pigeon racing?

When you want pigeons to perform well in bad weather, you must never let them down. I won't let the same pigeon take part in the same competition, because I want its partner to wait for it at home. Make them happy and satisfied. /s？ wd = % C8 % E7 % BA % CE % CB % C7 % d 1% F8 % B8 % EB % D7 % D3。 lm = 0 & ampsi = & amprn= 10。 ie = GB 23 12 & amp； ct = 0 & ampcl = 3 & ampf= 1。 rsp=2
