Pearl Eyes.

lanarkshire lad · December 28, 2015

I always thought that two pearl eyed pigeons mated together only bred pearl eyes is this true?

I believe pearl to be recessive so they can breed yellow eyes as well with pearl appearing somewhere down the line.

However, I could be wrong

I bred yellow/brown eyes from two pearls this year but I was thinking that the hen might have been a bit promiscuous lol but I could be wrong.

It is entirely possible to do this. My source of information is Brian May.

Yes it was I have seen it on eBay at one point in time advertised by someone from Southampton. I felt that may have been Tony Cowan as he was involved in making the video originally. The copy I had came from Brian and I believe Sammy on here also had one.

The video also featured Derek Smith Twice an UNC winner.

I got one from Brian aswell

Did u also get the little booklet that came with the dvd ??

"Derek smith" the video featured a lot of his great cattryese and kempineers. His good hen mystique had 3 races as a young bird then won 1st combine in her first race as yearling 24,500 birds. Derek had some fantastic performances in the unc.

The DVD is great I think as its not all just about eyes, it's got feather quality , heads and throats I would say it's 1 to watch.

Yes I have the book as well and I have also discussed these subjects with Brian on a number of occasions. He is very knowledgable and the opportunity to discuss pigeons with him on a personal basis was an honour. He even retained the literature for pigeons he bought in the 60s.

Brian was fully up to speed on throat theory before it became fashionable.

Unfortunately my DVD no longer plays it was a copy made by Brian.

Yes Derek had many performances. My impression is that he and Brian bought the stock birds between them.

Derek also owned some pigeons from Howard Hainsworth including Lolita and Oyster which were later the foundation of the Brian Denny pigeons.
