Saffron called “Zaafran” or Kesar locally is another powerful stimulant used to color rice and other dishes in local medicine and increase pigeons flying time. It consists of female parts of the Saffron plant’s stigmas cultivated in Kashmir and colder regions of Iran, Spain, etc. Being quite costly, its fake or mixed substitute is quite common.Although it is considered a mild stimulant, it is so potent that one or two straws dissolved in 10 ml of water are sufficient to make a high flyer pigeon go into invisibility very fast; and increase its fly time considerably. It is usually soaked in water in minimal quantity, with or without powdered dry Ginger, or boiled in it for a few minutes and fed at 10 PM the night before releasing it the next morning. However, like all stimulants, it proves harmful if the bird lacks adequate food reserves and stamina to sustain the induced and increased flight.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
