Pigeon Or Fancier

[Guest redrog]

just wonderin lads how much is result down to bird and how much down to fancier. would top loft win with averge bird and would average loft win with top bird?

[Guest geordiejen]

for me it must be the fancier 100%.a bird aint gonna do well if the fancier doesnt put the effort in.

[geordie1234]

For me fancier

 

Good doos can get themselves in order every 2 3 4 or 5 years and get a brilliant result a gd doo man gets his same good doos doing it every season imo

50/50 simple as that not one can perform with out the other.

[gulkie]

If they took 2 hours they probs were flying around your loft ranging, they normally range that far out anyway!

Short and middle distance 60% fancier distance 80% pigeon .

spot on IMO

[Guest Owen]

I think it is 100% Fancier. He has to provide the right sort of loft to promote health, train the birds to be effective, get the feed right, and choose which races he wants to target. And last but definately not least select the birds likely to win in the competition available.

[Walter swanston]

Fancier every time.No question

[Guest bigda]

it has also been noted that the pigeon was there to win the race but the fancier wasn't

[lenton1163]

i think 110% pigeon 110% fancier

bit like a race horse danny

you can have the best trainer in the world

but if the horse doesnt have it, it wont win

 

imagine steptoes horse and shergar in a race

give shergar to a novice trainer and steptoes horse to a top trainer

shergar would still win no contest

[Guest redrog]

it is interesting lads how some split it others go bird others fancier. i hopin i just good enough to do the birds justice an i dont make too many clangers.

[Guest lambrechts31]

This is a great question, and the replies are interesting, but in my oppinion its 50/50 if you,v got a good pigeon you need a good fancier to bring out the best in it jmo for what its worth........ :emoticon-0138-thinking:

[Tony C]

Hundreds of thousands of £'s are spent on pigeons every year but you still see the same names at the top! take from this what you will.

[demolition man]

 

Good pigeons will come to the front who ever racing them, getting them the consistency is due to the fancier , a good loft and regularity around the birds play a big part also.Most successful fanciers these days are able to tend there birds 24/7 or have a partner jmo.

Could,nt agree with you more don't care how good the fancier is he/she will never make a poor pigeon a good one

[DJWa]

Could,nt agree with u less I don't care how good the fancier is he/she will never make a poor pigeon a good one

 

thats exactly what ive written

[gulkie]

Sorry mate misread

[Guest H@wkBait]

all the fancier its the fancier sets the birds up under his management good fanciers will win with birds others cant win with

[William Reid]

For me pigeon fancier all day long .

[Guest geordiejen]

ok lets put this one into the pot.

good pigeon fancier who has purchased lets say average racing pigeons!!!

a fancier who has bought top notch birds but doesnt spend much time training his birds,doesnt regularly feed or clean the loft.

who would own the best racing pigeons in 5 years time?

[dwh]

A GOOD BIRD WILL ALWAYS BE A GOOD BIRD THEY WIN DESPITE THE FANCIER'S FAILINGS

BUT A GOOD FANCIER MAKES A GOOD BIRD A CHAMPION

1 CAN'T EXCEL WITHOUT THE OTHER

[billt]

You have good fanciers and poor fanciers but it will always be good birds that win
