EYE SIGN

Everyone Loves to see the eye sign of racing pigeon. Why we love? Because we exploring something while seeing it, and we assume something about it.

Everyone has different opinion on everything, we should not disgrace others opinion. Here I would like to show some visions discovered by pigeon fanciers.

Pupil:

If we assess the eye we can’t ignore the fact that a small pupil is important. A large pupil betrays nervousness and a weak willpower. The more the serious kilo meters which have to be flown, the less such pigeons are found at the front when the performances really have to be fought for. That’s why I don’t like to introduce pigeons with large pupils into my stock.

The pupils of high-quality pigeons should be an intense black, not off-grey, as this is one of the indications of good sight. Pupils are generally expected to be well-rounded, but oblong pupils are sometimes found among birds of high quality.

If one looks at below Pic we will see between 9-o- clock and 4 & 5-o-clock, a black overlay or Composite, this sign is superimposed on the adaptation and can be none existent as in pic 1 or 35% as in pic 2. or as in pic 3. it can encompass or cover the whole of the adaptation. This black overlay or composite is the racing sign and most flying machines or multi time winners have this sign in abundance. However if one breeds to this by putting as much superimposed composite in both sire and dam of your pairings, you breed top racers for maybe one generation and then there is a rapid deterioration. The way to keep control of this to breed dual purpose pigeons, that is to say racer breeders and not just sports, one must never allow the composite rating of a pair of breeders to exceed 100% in the addition of their superimposed composite signs.
