The variety of the pigeon known as the Owl is of early origin and may have been brought to Europe from India or China. It is a small, short-faced bird with higharched head, brilliant eyes, and a stubby beak that looks like a barnyard Owl. The Owl is frill necked with wide chest but with rather limited wing formation. The wing butts of the Owl blend into the feathers of the crop, in contrast to the Carrier, Horseman, and Dragoon. The Owl pigeon is very alert and quick of perception, and no doubt contributed to the keen intelligence of the modern Homer.
Ancestral characteristics of modern Homing Pigeons can be recoginized by carefully observing the face, shape, character and habits of the bird and it can thus be classified in its strongest ancestral origin. The successful selection of mates are those which will breed young further into the blend of the original variieties and the unsuccessful selection of birds for mates are those which breed out in any one direction toward any one ancestor.
As an example of the above we might take birds of distinct Owl characteristics that are short fast fliers but not good on long distances. By breeding them with birds of Carrier and Cumulet characteristics the off-spring may be assumed to be better balanced blend than either
There are, of course, exceptions to the rule , and in some instances several generations of breeding are necessary to obtain marked results. However, the scientific breeder working along the above lines with tenacity and perserverance will steadily improve his accomplishments and ultimately become a breeder of champions.

Hello there, My name is Mike and live in Az, I had racing pigeons when I was young and now Im not young haha 61, Semi retired and determined to move to a place where I can fly birds again, want to get my grandkids involved. Anyway as a kid I flew some Sions and really enjoyed your website. When Im ready would love to get a few Sions again and see how they do. Any advice for an old newbie? lol
Hey Donnie, Saw your Birds on Ipigeon and must say, those are some Beautiful Heitzmans. They are very true to what I called the real thing. Beautiful Hansennes as well. Take Care, Chuck
Hi
I have placed the pigeon recieved from you recently in a priority express shipment back to you in same box recieved. Bird was beautiful and healthy but we realized it’s nature is such that it needs to fly and be a racing pigeon. We can’t offer that life to it and realize it was a mistake to try this based on our situation
Bird has had not been outside and has been confined indoors in isolation since recieved.
Please give it the home it deserves.
Appreciate the care you took getting it to us!!!
Need some color on my team. Had some sion couple years ago when i had a partner who sick and could not care for his own birds. He liked sions so i bought some from you on pigeonauction.com. We alot of fun his sions against my team .He has since past on. His family called me and thanked me for letting fly with me he really looked forward race day. HE WON EVERY WEEK
