In the early pigeon racing circles, shed clearance has always been regarded as "washing hands in a golden basin", or some foreign cooperative pigeon lofts have to conduct property division for unavoidable reasons before conducting shed clearance auctions.
With the rising market price of racing pigeons and , in recent years, European shed clearances have become more like going public for cash. Generally, the time for them to clear out sheds usually occurs when the pigeon loft performance is at its peak, and they probably understand this. The principle of "when the sun is at midpoint, there will be wilting, and when the moon is waxing, there will be eclipse".
It is very difficult to maintain the performance at the peak. Taking advantage of the situation when the performance is the best and the media hype is the hottest, you can not only reap the most abundant fruits of victory, but also give yourself a long vacation, and at the same time, you can also make the loft better. Take some time off to recuperate, and when you want to start again, you will be a hero on the field.
Compared with the age limit of other competitive sports, the advantage of pigeon racing is that it relies less on physical strength and more on experience. There are many examples of
being sold out at the peak of its performance in Europe. For example, after Posiva won the overall championship of 120,000 pigeons in the 600km national race in Laman, the Netherlands, in 2005, Joe Stone hypothesized that he "had an eye problem." , it was a forced auction. "
And the latter returned to the competition after a few years of clearing out the pigeons, and his results were naturally as good as before. I don't know those who thought that Thone would withdraw from the pigeon world and participate in the clearing for the purpose of collecting. What will the buyers at the auction think?
In pigeon racing, we often focus on the pedigree of famous pigeons or champion pigeons. In fact, the most valuable thing is the experienced pigeon owner behind the famous pigeons. Many later famous pigeons come from Some obscure pigeon lofts.
For example, Dutch racing pigeon geek Ludo Klassen, who has been out of the loft for some years, did not follow the general routine in starting and breeding pigeons. Most of the original pigeon team came from the local pigeon market, and the famous white pigeon Yedi was the last generation. White falling pigeons .
Similarly, there are also such strange people in our country. The late racing pigeon master Liu Suisheng in Guangzhou, nicknamed "Maomao" here, relied on the Tianluo pigeons selected from a hundred on ocean freighters for many years to breed three-way pigeons and win many prizes. Top three times. It is said that "Maomao" stays in the pigeon shed for more than ten hours every day just to observe the pigeons' habits.
After looking at those pigeon lofts that were able to return to the top in a short period of time after clearing the loft, as well as the two owners who do not follow the routine, do you still think that the pigeons are more important than the pigeon owners?
Although the financial conditions and investment of these pigeon owners are different, what they have in common is that they all have a good feeling for good pigeons and are pigeon owners who are good at training.
Even though I often advise everyone to start with good breeds, I have also tried to entrust a local pigeon shop to hang up four young pigeons based on their appearance without knowing the pedigree. After they were one month old, they were transferred to professional coaches for training. In the second year, they were actually In the 5-city league, I was lucky enough to win a prize of 29th overall.
I dare not say that the pigeons in front of me are all from well-known families. It is not to show how good I feel about the pigeons, but to secretly lament that the coachâs training skills are really good, especially in the current short and medium pigeons. Under the distance racing system, training skills and training experience are even more important. This is why I feel it is necessary to compile my experiences over the years into the "Hidden Dragon Racing Pigeon Manual".
I remember that Taiwanese pigeon critic Liao Yongci wrote in his "Pigeon Eye Exploration Volume 3" that "Many pigeon fanciers called to ask, which are the most popular pigeon families in Taiwan today?".
I sincerely replied to the other party based on my experience as a real participant, "Based on my personal participation in Beixian Xinhai branch competitions, the rankings obtained in each spring and autumn, or the surveys conducted by fellow pigeon fanciers who have won tens of millions of K. Any prize-winning pigeons can be said to be all-inclusive. They are produced on the island, produced in Asia, and produced in Europe. The so-called popular pigeons can only be seen in advertisements in magazines. "
