No, rightly or wrongly that would be classed as sheer luck. I've picked a bird out of more than 70 not knowing anything about it and it then went on to breed winners for me, I used the look, shape and feel of the bird and nothing to do with the eye, there's more evidence that this is a better way to select a bird but that's just my opinion and many others.  All down to opinion not evidence.  

 

Well I must be a very lucky person them as 99% of my stock birds have bred winners and the only thing I go on is the eye,it works for me and thats all  i,m worried about.

dont want to get into a argument about the value of eye sign but afriend of mine a few years ago was sent to hospital by his doctor to see a specialist that specialist was a iridologist who pin pointed where my friends problem was so the surgon could operate the human eye can depict many things such as inteligence why not in our birds is this what the eye sign man sees of course many more things have to be in place to make a champion but they may be telling  us to put two eys of inteligence together and you have half a chance they would own up not to know everything but do we know enough to completley knock thier theories

theres a lot of fanciers who only reckon they know what there looking for in eye sign,thats why so many people go wrong with it,i use it always have,i started looking at it at 13 yrs old,the old eye sign books were a load of nonsence and crap,ive picked top breeders out in a few lofts and also picked birds out that will only breed rubbish,but many other factors come into it aswell,being a good stock man helps a lot and a good judge of pigeons,i use it always will,it works for me and ime happy with it,everybody has the rights to decide themselves thats what makes keeping pigeons interesting,we shudnt pull people down who believe in it and also the same with people who dont believe in it,everyone to there own.My best ever breeders had eyes like diamonds,never failed breeding winners.keep smiling lads,all the best.

there is a bloke  called  Brian may,  who is a expert on  pigeons eyes, and the  eyes of psychopathic  killers,  and  i think ??)  jargre he would have no problem grading yours :o he is from Bolton   ;D ;D look him up   :X >:(

You on about the Brian May who worked in Rampton Hospital?  All he'd tell from my eyes pal is that I wait patiently for what goes around to come around.  ;)   8)  He's from Rotherham by the way.   :D

 

JB Stainforth, the theory of iridology has been dismissed by scientists as worthless.

What scientists,there far worse than pigeon fanciers,its nigh on impossible to get two to agree on anything,there are literally hundreds ofDoctors and Opticians,who can and do pick up on illnesses which show sympthoms in the eyes first

Your not me pal and never will be, I'm a lot bigger and better looking you and I NEVER make the same mistake twice.  ;)    

 

Merlin, we wouldn't be where we are today without scientists, I do get what your saying but the American Medical Association saying its a load of tosh is good enough for me.  Let's just agree to disagree on this one.   :)

I am not convinced by the whole eye thing.  there was a top American eye man that visited a very good loft in South Africa when i was growing up.  i am not going to name any names here as the man has since passed away.  he went through the entire loft and his conclusion was that only three birds were worth keeping!  Strange thing was that one of the three that were worth keeping was a stray, and the other two were bought in at a yb sale!  

All of the lads combine and fed winners and their parents were condemed as rubbish and not worth keeping.  it is when i heard this that i decided to let the basket decide what is worth keeping and what isnt.

 

Mhy does it always have to be an American ???

I can not believe that in the year 2009 this is still being talked about, i would have thought pigeon people would be grown out of this by now.The best advice i have ever given young pigeon fanciers is not to pay any attention to this THEORY

I have been interested in it for years, but don't profess to be an expert in the field. But I have conducted a few experiments with peoples pigeons, where I have asked them to hold their pigeons so I am not influenced by any other factors of the bird, and I have looked at the eye and picked out their good breeders and racers more often than not.
