There are a lot of dietary supplements. As a result pigeon fanciers are lost ! We therefore listed a few for you and immediately tell you what their merit is:

The moult is the period that all the pigeons start changing their feathers, which starts in August and ends mid-November. To participate in the competitions it is therefore very important that our pigeons have as complete a feather suit as possible. Because of this, the pigeon fanciers want to do everything to postpone this as long as possible.

The racing season is in full activity and every fanatic pigeon fancier wants to manage his pigeons with the best possible care. Only in this way we create the most optimal conditions to achieve top performance. Nothing will be left to chance and let us be honest about this, only this is the only good attitude and the key to success.

Motivation of pigeons is for pigeon fanciers the conversation material that is a never ending story. Some claim that the form and quality are important and others think of their tricks. As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Shape, quality and homesickness are important. The motivation has only one goal and that is to make the pigeons as attached as possible to their loft. Hoping to get your pigeons home as soon as possible.

Since the pigeon sport exists, there are hundreds of books written by people who had or have "knowledge" of pigeons, there are numerous films, DVDs and websites on the market from which a lot of knowledge can be obtained. Yet I often find that the pigeon sport is complex. An error is made quickly, but often I do not realize what mistake I make and I am in despair. Then it is very nice if someone points out those mistakes and gives you advice on how to do better. I am a starting pigeon fancier with a few problems. I have a part of youngsters who often stay on the roof after flying, do not want to drink in the training basket or do not fly home immediately from a training exercise race. What am I doing wrong? In the meantime we are at the end of April and the first races for the youngsters are coming closer . I go to my mentor for advice.

When top pigeon fanciers make pronouncements in today's pigeon sport as if motivation is the most important link that leads to top performances in pigeons, it would be a missed opportunity not to report on this. Pigeons are intrinsically placed to defend their territory. Both cocks and hens. So here are opportunities for motivation, the vector for success, to bring out the best of the pigeon.

What is currently possible ? Compared to, among other things, food-producing animals such as cattle, where in fact no calves are born any more without knowing all of its full genetic qualities and capacities on beforehand, there is still a long way to go around genetics in pigeons. The fact that this is of course a smaller market than beef or milk and the typical competitive attitude of pigeon fanciers and perhaps also pigeon veterinarians, which complicate the sharing of data or financing of large-scale research plays its role here. Veterinarians who think they have found something or collect data keep this secret hoping that one day they will be able to do something with it.
