Guest newcomer Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I have read an article where the writer described a bird as having a false pearl eye, but did not explain any further, how can you tell the difference between this an the real artical.

Roland Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Was talking to an 'Eye Specialist - human, when I had a check up regards my eyes. Of course I ased him his views Was suprised when he stated that besides being the 'Miror of the soul / health, many chinese eye specialist can tell a lot more regards the eye. Temprement, linage and much more. He wouldn't comment regards what some believe regards our 'Eyesign' theories, except to say 'He wouldn't rule it out'. But was skeptical as to ability and powess.

Guest Owen Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Eyesign! it is still a waste of time and a load of old crap. Nothing has changed. Why not use the foot theory to select your birds. The first feet that hit the landing board are owned by the best racers. The best racers are the most likely to produce more best racers.

Guest Owen Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sorry dwh I did get carried away a bit there. Perhaps I would be better sticking to my genetics rubbish and letting the eyesign delusionists get on with their flights of fancy. What do you think?

Guest Owen Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 dhw, and you worked all this out from looking into the pigeons eye? Just think how much more you could learn if you looked up it's bum. I must make sure I keep my shades on when you are about. And I will definately not bend down.

Craig05 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I know absolutly nothing about the eye sign theory but i would really think twice before knocking it!!! i think Jack Barkels birds results speak for themselves both in the UK and in SA. Wouldnt mind comparing his results based on eye sign to the results of all those knocking it. just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Owen Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Craig05, like a lot of other people I got interested in eyesign years ago. I still have the original book on it. It was writtten by SWE Bishop. I spoke to human eye specialists and studied the eyes of winners and loosers. Crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig05 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Owen, i cant coment too much on eyesign, because like i said earlier, i know very little about it. What i do know is that Jack Barkel has walked into top fanciers lofts in SA and out of a loft of 50 or 60 birds, has picked out the combine and fed winners just based on eyesign?? Then also picked out the breeders of these winners in the stock loft. Luck i would say if he hadnt done it on more than one occasion including the loft of a very good friend of mine. i just dont understand how people are knocking a theory that has worked very very well for him.....

clayton moore Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I want to believe i reilly do, but those who trumpet eyesign know as littl as those who deride it.A famous eyesign man who has and continues to sell loads of eyesign dvds, couldnt recognise a bird had an infectious cattaract.It was blind.Another famed eyesign therist was found out looking at the ring while handling a test pigeon.I can catagorically state some chickens have better eyesign than some of the pictures on these threads.I have nothing against anyone however i till someone is able to say this in an eye causes that or that in an eye means the bird will be able to do XYZ.I will regard it as an unproven theory.

thepigeonkey Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Very interesting thread. I checked out Jack Barkels website, some good reading. He produced the first extreme dilute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterboswell59 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 i studied eye sign for years its a nonsence its nice to look at but apart from health you can tell nothing about raceing or breding abilty from it its just a fact that some families of birds have nice eyes and some do not its a family trait the only way to find out if a bird is a good racer is the basket and the only way to find a good breeding pair is breed lots of yb off them and race them eye sign men who win out of turn are few and far beetween and they win because they have good pigeons not because there pigeons have a good eye nothing more nothing less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
