The need for speed

No, Devo, there was a short lived thing a few years ago where you could tell a top pigeon while it was in the nest.
You could, according to this "Champion of the sport" tell if a baby was a potential superstar.
The secret was, they were superior if they had..... .... white claws!

I must have a loft full then as most of mine have white claws

I've got a few too. And the colour of their toe nails is no indication of their worth at all.

Darn it I was going to get them on PIPA

In my experience there's only 2 things that make a good pigeon

1. What's in its head
2. What's in its heart

You only find out when testing them in racing - ideally in the strongest competition you can find.

Isn't that the truth.
How often is the best pigeon in the shed one that you took not much notice of at first. Not the best looking or best bred, but it turns out to be the one with the best motor.
