But I have held many classy pigeons which didn’t have it. A measure of class or no class is unfortunately not the circle of adaptation then, as such a miniscule indicator of quality or no quality would have been much to easy. True or not?
What many fanciers don’t always notice is the Vermeyen-ring. This ring forms the partition between the colourul outter iris and the rest of the eye which is white in colour. Although it is only a delicate ring, I consider the Vermeyen-ring as an important measure of the form of the pigeon. The colour changes intensity quite a bit, from dark black/brown to light grey or something else. I suspect that as the form rises the Vermeyen-ring becomes a deeper colour. It therefore is a matter of printing the normal condition of each pigeon in your mind, and if something changes it can be a sign that the pigeon is getting in form or losing form. A matter of winning or losing, from racing or staying home. Try it.
Up to now we have looked straight at the iris in each eye separately. That’s what you see most, that’s right. Yet you also have to look at an eye from a different angle, namely from the end of the beak. I like it best when I can see as much of both eyes as possible. This total view gives me a definite impression of the intelligence of a pigeon. Pigeons which don’t have that won’t easily be used by me for breeding. Look and compare it yourself and in the end you will agree with me that this type of pigeon is usually the best.
The 3 birds arrived this morning in Aurora, Colorado safe and sound. Thanks. We'll do business again!!

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
