i have paired my birds up using this theory this year, as i am only starting up again i only had info on some birds and strangely the birds that people had said had won 1st prizes or bred 1st prize winners have all got very good throats. only time will tell if its true

Was sceptical about this until My Friend Paul (Ulsterlofts) , urged Me to check the throats of My best Breeders / Racers & they ALL carried the top marked throats !

So do all those with a good throat make good racers. I think I may know the answer.

Well let us into your secret.

 

No secret. At the back of the throat, there is a curtain arrangement, that ends at the bottom with a jagged edge.  Basically, the arrangement, in a good throat, is a straight vertical line, without any imperfections.  You have to ensure the throat is checked when the bird is not subject to any stress or this will give a false impression

Surely if it has what they call a good throat it only means its healthy just like a bright clear eye, think thats all it is a theory, its whatever suits.

It's not only a healthy throat, but one that, during flight, can efficiently channel the intake of oxygen to the lungs.  That's just my guess!

a good curtain acts the same as an oasis for a camel it gives the bird extra moisture for a drink but if the throat is not open the curtain wont do its job     any curtain missing the birds had canker and leaves a weakness at longer events   8)  8)

As I said healthy no canker to distort it, obviously the healthier a bird is the better chance it has but if the bird is no good a healthy throat won't help it, it will still be destined for the bin.

good healthy pigeons win races simple :) ;)it has worked for me and many other fanciers up to classic level :P but the bird must be a good one from the start of its life :)

so if its a good birds theres no need to check the throat then,so winner to winner should breed winners ie with good throats,sounds simple to me but in reality ? the basket is the only decider,keep the ones that win get rid of those that dont,and some bloody good management.

another thing to look for in the throat well i do this anyway i got told this years ago

when you open the beak the tongue as to sit flat on the bottom beak if it lifts up

it cant breath right when in flying mode , and the slit in its top beak as to be open

whats your thoughts on this ???

seem to find this on over weight pigeons,if there flying out and well there tounge will lie flat,over fed birds will lift there tounge due to being over weight and finding it hard to breath,
