We see many racing pigeon sales online, but there is nothing better than holding a bird before we buy. So what are you looking for? Here is a small video to help new starters.

I agree we all like a nice bird in the hand, but Winners come in all shapes and sizes. The basket is the best selection of a pigeon. ;)

I agree, a good pigeon is often, not always but often, one that looks like a good pigeon. That indefinable thing called quality. It also handles like a good pigeon. Silky feather, bouyant and does have that "balance" in the hand.

But then you get one that has none of those things and still wins. But your chances have to be much, much better with a pigeon that has the right physique. All it needs then is the spirit and courage to go with it and you have a topper.

Saying it like that you could almost think it was easy. If only it was. :D
