Hi everyone! This is my very first post and I'm new to the whole pigeon racing sport and unfortunate for me, never really knew such a thing existed until recently! BUT, I am starting to become very interested very quickly and have been doing my research all over the internet and have been reading info on a few other forums.
I'm actually attempting to write a paper for my english class on the sport of pigeon racing, so for you beginner pigeon racers or those of you who are experts and have been doing this for years, if you have just a few minutes to spare, would you mind answering some questions for be below? I'd REALLY appreciate it and any info you can give me would be great!!
Thanks so much!!
What are some of the first things a beginner pigeon racer needs to know?
Where or from whom did you learn some of your first/basic pigeon racing skills from?
Where did you find the most useful information [when you were beginning]? (ie internet websites, forums, other expects, pigeon clubs, experience, books)
Do you currently subscribe to any pigeon magazines, ezines, or newsletters?
Are pigeon racing books outdated, or is the information in there still useful for today's methods?
Are there certain training/breeding/racing methods that are most popular? / Used most by pigeon elites?
If you were beginning pigeon racing all over again, what important information/techniques/methods do you wish you knew now that you didn't know back then?
Do you feel that there is sufficient information on the internet alone that would make it easy for pigeon newcomers to start racing?
Where (either online or in print) do you go to find your most trusted information? Is this a place that you frequently come back to?
Is this where you go if you have questions or dilemmas? Do you always find the answers there that you're looking for?
If there was one thing you wanted to know more about with pigeon training/or racing, what would it be?
