Isn't it something to do with all other feathers being behind it making it look as if only 1 featherAndy wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 1:54 pmI remember reading an article years ago about the centre feather.

Not sure, just another of those theories.George and Morgan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 11:31 am and in Belgium the middle feather top lofts from a video i watched Dev select they pairings

I think the theory was around the balance suggesting that a pigeon with the top tail feather having the quill central was more balanced than one where it sat left or right. I read about this theory back in the 80s. Not one for me to be bothered with.
