The foot rings don't say anything, look at the pigeons.

1. The bones of the youngsters are also very important.

Bones are the basis of the pigeon, the skeleton is the part of all the sports of the pigeon, and the basis for the production of sports muscles, only a strong, soft and strong bone structure can provide a suitable pillar for the different parts of the muscles.

A young pigeon should feel stiff and firm in the hand. The keel should be long, thick, and curved. One end of the pubic bone is slightly upturned, the pubic bone should be short, thick and strong, and closed tightly, and the upper arm bone is thick and hard, and the fan is strong, which can increase the frequency of fan flutter.

2. Muscles. The large pectoral muscles appear plump and strong, with a sense of firmness and self-determination. After training and racing, the fat disappears, the pectoralis muscles change from soft to elastic, and when the pigeon is held in the hand, the wings develop a soft and elastic feeling.

3. Feathers. The feathers are required to have good downness, smooth feathers, bright color, thin feathers like silk, closely arranged into flat and thin elastic feathers, close to the whole body, and have a feeling of slipping off in the hand.

How to identify the advantages and disadvantages of this pigeon. We can identify it by several aspects such as foot rings, temperament, body shape, eyes, etc.

The foot ring is put on the pigeon's leg, it is the symbol of the carrier pigeon, with the origin, country, year, and number. Pigeons with foot rings, not equal to excellent carrier pigeons, no rings can also participate in the race or stay as breeding pigeons, where there are various rings and circles on the pigeon legs, are the marks made by the pigeon owner, for reference only.

Temperament refers to the exposed performance of inner quality, which can be expressed through standing, gaze, action and other aspects. Any good carrier pigeon should have a heroic posture, bright eyes, quick movements, a pair of strong wings and a strong body.

Body shape and nose shape (including size, fluffing, wrinkles) should be symmetrical and fastened; Head shape (including round, flat-topped, duck-shaped, etc.) has a broad forehead, a full back of the head, a straight and short neck, a thin and shiny neck feathers, a broad front chest, a flat back and a tail bundle, a long and curved keel, and a seamless closure of the pubic bone, and a short distance between the two is preferred. The shape of the nose, the shape of the head, and the shape of the body give people infinite charm. The feathers cling to the muscles, and the muscles are tightly bound to the skeleton, which is solid and compact.

Feathers, muscles, and skeletons must be fused into one).

The eyelids are high and thick, the eyes are bright and transparent, and it is better to blink well. I have carefully observed the excellent racing pigeons, and found that they have many characteristics in common, an excellent carrier pigeon should have a pair of bright eyes, some are bright and bright in the bottom sand, some are thin in gravel color, and some are fine and heavy in the bottom sand, and the surface sand is thick and uniform; Some of the bottom sand is thick and solid, and the surface sand is rough and black. The pupils must be oval like ink, constricted and unconstricted by sunlight, the edges of the pupils are wavy, and the periphery of the eyes is saw-like.

You can distinguish the quality of carrier pigeons from several aspects such as bloodline, skeleton, feathers, and eyesight.

Pedigree pigeon its bloodline must have inherited the ability of the previous generation or even several generations, including its ability to fly, perseverance and it has a certain "characteristic" in flying, and the pigeon with good pedigree is also intellectually excellent, and is generally rarely injured.

As for the skeleton in all aspects of the skeleton: an excellent pigeon's ability to fly is directly affected by its bones, the more important is the neck bone, which is the central hub that supports the pigeon's body, followed by the keel, and it should present a slightly sleek arc, so that people feel very comfortable to catch the arc, rather than the protrusion of the chest, the feeling of high protrusion, so that is the difference between an excellent and inferior pigeon.

The eyes of a healthy and normal pigeon are usually the same as the difference in the speed of the contraction of the pupils of the eyes, the pupils are of moderate size under normal light, their pupils should be dilated when the light is dim, their pupils should be reduced when the light is bright, and the brilliance of their pupils must be particularly bright in normal times.

The feathers of a pigeon are not only beautiful and ugly in appearance, it also has another purpose, it can help the pigeon maintain its body temperature and keep all parts dry, and a pigeon's feathers are smooth and will not get wet in the rain during the flight, thus increasing its flight speed. So the feathers of a good carrier pigeon must be smooth and bright.

The most important part of a good racing pigeon is the wings, so the quality of the wings can be said to be one of the most important factors to distinguish the quality of a carrier pigeon. When a pigeon has the main feather, it should be clearly layered from the side, like a blind, such a carrier pigeon is considered a good carrier pigeon.
