Top Perching Birds

[Guest CS]

Many have said that the birds that take the top row of perches in a loft are the dominant birds and therefore the assumption is made that they are the better racers.

 

Have any of you checked this? And do you think this "theory" hold any water?

 

[crazy pigeon boy]

i dont think it matters where a bird perches they all have the ability to race well with the right management

[Ronnie]

could be used for extra motivation i suppose.

[peterpau]

agree they are dominant but definately does not make them the best racers in my experience

 

Only means they are the dominant bird nothing else.

I FIND THAT MOST OF MY BEST  BIRD ARE ON THE BOTTOM PERCHES BUT 1 OF MY BEST COCK BIRDS LAST YEAR  DID NOT HAVE A PERCH ALL HE WOULD  SIT ON THE FLOOR. BUT HE  WOULD NOT LET ANY OTHER BIRDS ON THE FLOOR WITH HIM

It makes no difference with my birds,some of my birds do fight for the top perches.

Our best birds have mainly been the ones taking the bottom Widowhood boxes..

 

Normally more dominant because they take/guard the floor as well.
