What do you think about meat pigeons and stuffed pigeons? What is the difference between a meat pige

Key points for identifying meat pigeons and racing pigeons:

1. Short wings and long tail

Only when the wings are relatively short, the pigeon can stir the wings quickly and not easily fatigue when flying, and pull the wings open, with enough clearance at the tip to facilitate the exhaust; The long tail here does not refer to the tail alone, but actually refers to the shape and length of the back. If you look at the pigeons that have returned from a long distance, it is not difficult to see that they are all short-tailed.

2. Large throat

When the pigeon flies, its wings stir for about 420 minutes, and each time it stirs, it breathes once. (The breath of a pigeon in flight is replaced by the flapping of its wings), and only a pigeon with a large throat is able to inhale as much oxygen as possible.

3. Shrug your shoulders and kick your legs

Hold the pigeon in your hand, some pigeons always have a feeling of not being able to grasp, that is, the shoulders are always shrugging (and there is also a feeling of pressing down) and the legs are always kicking, I don't know if you pay attention, often this kind of pigeon is a short and fast pigeon, like some middle distance pigeons.

4.High keel

It is also a characteristic of the speed pigeons in general.

5.The wings are soft and the shoulders are thick and powerful

The so-called softness means that when you open the pigeon's wings, the pigeon will naturally bring its wings to it, and the wings will not be pulled up very tightly. The shoulders are thick and powerful, that is, the shoulders should be thick but not bulging, and when the wings are opened, you will feel that the pigeon has the strength to flap its wings downward.

6. Pectoral muscles

In general, the most obvious feature of fast pigeons is that the chest muscles are full, explosive, and they will feel a little triangular when they are grabbed.

The criteria for the selection of pigeons are well-developed and powerful bones, tight, firm and shiny feathers, and strong and elastic skin. The wings are wide, the eyes are brightly colored, and more importantly, the pedigree is excellent. The shorter middle distance sprint pigeon and the extreme long distance endurance pigeon have their own characteristics.
