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.
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
