Pigeon Racing Selection Mistakes You Might Be Making

Here are a few common missteps in pigeon selection:

  • Thinking an average bird is a good one—especially if it came from a top breeder.
  • Keeping unproductive breeders just because they have a strong pedigree.
  • Holding onto race birds that haven’t performed by their second year.
  • Failing to wean young birds early and missing key selection opportunities.
  • Today’s top-performing birds are younger than ever. In most races, it’s yearlings or two-year-olds leading the pack. Long-distance races might be an exception, but generally, if a bird isn’t performing by two years old, it’s not likely to suddenly turn into a winner.
