Pigeon Eye

[bluey]

Thanks for the comments, I got him to breed off he’s 9 years old and only ever been stock. His dam is Playgirl and he sire is a full brother to Toyboy and he is breed by Bert Hession. Thanks also for the comments on the photo’s it’s my first attempt.

If it has not bred any winners after 8 years at stock it is a racing eye.

eyesign = boll*cks...

 

read what Geoff Copper says about eyesign in this months Pictorial..

 

i couldnt have put it better, just a complete waste of time, it tells you nothin.

What a load of tosh. If it was as easy as that there would be no point to racing pigeons. Besides, the wealthy would have bought up all the good ones by now. If you want a theory to help you select your best pigeons, why not try the foot theory. The first feet to hit the landing board are a sign of your best pigeons. Value them, and cast a critical eye over the rest.

Thanks again for all your comments.

 

Like i said earlier i don't personally think that there is anything in it,  my view is an eye is for seeing! as long as they have two and work then that's good for me.

 

This is why i asked. There are people who do belive there is and i appresate and respect their views.

 

As for the cock bird and if it has not bread any winners at 8 years it's a racer you are right, but i am told he has bread lots of winners and hopfully i will find out myself with the ones i have bread off him this year.

Not sure what he said in the Pictorial but he knows something about eyesign  what ever it was, as he picked out my pigeon in a class of 90 birds and  placed it 1st,this pigeon as taken cards all over the country.

 

Geoff Cooper.. quoted from Pictorial.. no 474..

 

..'Many years ago Geoff spent seven years studying eyesign. He made detailed copies of the the eyes of his birds and paired them on the advice of eyesign experts. After seven years he had boxes full of detailed diagrams and eyesign information. After comparing the winning birds eyes over the period with the experts opinion, he came to the conclusion that it was nothing more than a fad, and of no use to him. On the downside, he had many good birds not bred from because they di not have the 'right' eye. He was glad he never culled any birds during this period due to them having 'poor' eyesign. He had many winners with 'poor' eyesign which went on to be the foundation birds of his present loft.'...

 

 

There you go one of Britains top distance men.. who has studied eyesign in depth... and says it's a lot of tosh..

Food for thought for the critics

 

All my stock pigeons were picked on eye sign, every pair bread winner, 8 pairs. Amounting to 11 firsts 9 seconds, 6 thirds, 4 fourths in 18 club inland races, birdage 450. + winning 6 firsts 2 seconds 2 thirds + four cards to 14th Fed. birdage 2.500

 

How did I do it?
