I love this eye

[Devo1956]

In many cases when holding a bird. 10 different people would all choose wings, eye, body shape and tail.. I would say it is down to the individual of what we like,

I will give my views in full when I get a bit of time. But it is basically a bull eye, which is very common in birds with a lot of pied. Nearly all fantails have a bull eye. It is basically a lack of definition of colour and linked with the pied gene that is also a lack of pigmentation in the white flights.

To me this eye is on fire, but others may view it differently

Its an eye that does nothing for me

But having said that I'd never buy a bird based on its eye

2 things alone make a good pigeon - What's in its head and what's in its heart. You only find the answer to those by testing thoroughly and stop making excuses.

My advice to anyone would be look for as many winners in the pedigree of your pigeon as close as you can get them.

That way you're not trying to reinvent the wheel by asking them to perform well

It did point out how healthy i was Niel, and that is a major point in racing and breeding for a racing pigeon. There is a lot more to it, we cannot see what goes on inside of the bird, but the eye can tell us more.

Health yes
But the doctor couldn’t tell you if you could breed a Olympic athlete
Health is totally different to being told this bird will breed winners at 500 miles etc

Niel, there is a subject i would not like to talk about. In the study of the eyes, but it did take place, A very sad case for many.

I don’t understand your post Devo sorry

Mike i do agree you have to have a good pedigree, but also for a work mans price.

Bit different to bill carney that Devo

Like we always say, we will all have views on different subjects. What some people see, others may not. and that is where you can pick up a bargain. In the sport today, what i do hear is that it cost a lot to buy some good pigeons, yes i agree but if you dont look you dont get. Also some people dont agree that a pedigree is important, Well again that is their view. Just my view.

Nothing against a working man's price but none of the parents or G.Parents have raced

Then the buyer will put this to Stock - that's 3 generations untested on the road

Your chances are just diluted of getting a real good bird
