breeding small birds

[frank1]

is there any thing you can do to breed smaller birds

buy smaller birds in then they'll get smaller over time dont put 2 big pigeons together, i like medium sized birds but my birds vary the bigger pigeons tend to be sprinters and getting to a medium to small size the further they go

hi oldyellow would you put a big pigeon with a really small one or medium sized one

thanks frank

i tend to pair on size yes big to small , some are more front ended others more rear ended and not as nicely tapered , others are long cast some can seem cobby so pairings the later would result in better shaped birds , then theres the eyesign believers dark eyes to light eyes  opps forgot most dont like same eyed pairings but i have paired mother to son with same eyes and won with them , if you use this template your birds start to look like one another breeding a nicer type of bird . When pairing pigeons i tend to pair birds that will compliment each other.
