Shows

I think you are all living in a dream world. I'd the bird is good enough to win then it will. Pen position will not make a bird any better. The judge will pick out the right bird no matter what pen it's in. If you show at a proper show then you can't change the pen positions. For instance Blackpool. Paperwork is filled in before you get there and you can't shuffle birds around. The huge will sort them out

totally agree with this post,if you have a competent judge who knows his stuff,best will always be best.

i was wondering how the racing pigeon show guys could switch pigeons around,usually you get a schedule out and a week before the show you get your pen numbers.the pens are set out as pigeon breed and sex of the bird,then colour then bar or chequer.

I have been to a few shows and observed fanciers move a certain colour of bird to another pen they have been allocated, because someone has put a bird of the same colour next to theirs, ie, a blue next to another blue. or a red next to another red. So do the assume that judges may compare colours when so close to each other?http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

 

also some do not like to be allocated either the first pen or the last penhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

 

Any views on this?http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Can i ask a wee question, if showing racers does it matter if the last flight is not fully up ?

Been wanting to show a few but all my best racers are not fully up yet.

cheers

Well personally from me I would rather put a bird forward that was coming up on its last flight if its was a better type and condition than the other birds that was up. Type should be first. So when people are looking at them in the cage then they can see what we should be looking for.

of course pen posisions important esp for through the wires if the pens are stacked 2 high ould u put ur best bird on the bottom tier here its in the shadows? pen 1 is a dodgy pen aswell lol

Any decent dooman will not bother whether the last flight is up or not. Its total bullsh!t from guys that know fk all Colin, a real judge can lift a bird from a pen and before he has his second hand on it he will know if its what hes looking for. As for pen position, it is an advantage when thru wires.
