Pigeon breeders and ophthalmologists have different names and terms for the physiological structure of pigeon eyes. A bit like Chinese medicine and western medicine, but the magical effect has no theoretical basis, and scientific theory can't explain the magical effect. For example, I often see letters from some novice homing pigeons saying that old homing pigeons often say "pigeon eyes should be dry", but I don't know what kind of eyes are dry and why dry eyes are always good pigeons. Of course, this is an empirical talk, which is neither easy to master nor clear. Need to see more, look carefully, have a comparative vision, practice makes perfect, and success will come naturally.
2, when you want to appreciate the pigeon's eyes, don't use a magnifying glass, can be in the following order:
Look at the pigeon's eyes before it catches it. When you see it, it also finds that you are paying attention to it, so its eyes will tell you that this pigeon is timid, alert, kind, fierce, dull, smart and so on. So, which of these pigeons is better? This is what Gong Ai Wonton Poyao wants. Each has his own hobbies and needs. European countries put more short and medium courses, requiring you to enter the activity door as soon as you get home, so that you can catch him, ring the bell to report for duty and buy time. They like being kind and obedient. China, the United States and Australia all hold long-distance races, requiring racing pigeons to forage in the wild, spend the night, and avoid being caught by natural enemies and people. They like alert and fierce homing pigeons to catch their "goo goo" calls. But stagnant pigeons are not welcome.
3. When Chen Mukun, chairman of Thailand Pigeon Racing Association, was watching pigeons in Shanghai, I saw him paddling back and forth in front of pigeons one meter away to observe their reaction. Of course, he likes sensitive pigeons. If the pigeon's eyes don't follow, but are stupefied, it is not necessarily a good pigeon.
When you lead a pigeon, you should first pay attention to the location where the pigeon's eyes are born. Generally, the requirements are relatively high. However, the difference between the height of the eye landing position and the height of the eye landing position is very small, so it is not easy to distinguish the newly raised pigeons. Li Meiling asked pigeons to put their eyes above the beak line. In the practice of pigeon breeding, this kind of pigeon is rare, but most of them are parallel to the center line of the eye. Does the position of pigeon eyes affect the line of sight? Some people say that the eyes are low and the line of sight will be blocked by nasal tumors. Is that really the case? Ask pigeons to find the answer in their own practice.
4. Then, look at the eyelids. Eyelids are red, yellow, black, gray, white and other colors. Which color of eyelids will not affect flying and planting is just everyone's preference. I don't like red eyelids and yellow eyelids very much. I think black and gray are better, and white looks better. But this is not the standard of evaluation. Eyelids are thick and thin, and thin ones look better than thick ones. Thin white eyelids, tightly wrapped around the eyeball, are more pleasing. The statement that "thick eyelids will block the line of sight" cannot be established. I have seen many winning pigeons, many of which have thick eyelids.
5, look at the eyelids, then look at the eyeball, the bigger eyeball looks better than the smaller one. This is just "selling photos" to look good, and it does not affect flying and seed retention. The eyeball needs to be dry and the moisture is not up to standard. If there are tears in your eyes, your sight will be blurred and your sight distance will not be far away. Pigeon racing flies at a speed of about 80 kilometers per hour. There is no wind in nature, and it will also produce a wind speed of more than 6. If you fly against the wind, the wind speed is higher. It is unimaginable that a pair of tearful eyes will fly out of good grades.
The above parts can be seen in less than a minute, and now it takes some time to observe the pupil. The pupils of a good racing pigeon often contract and expand in the sun. The smaller the shrinkage, the better. The faster the frequency, the better. An experienced pigeon breeder can feel the frequency of pupil dilation by pressing the pigeon head with his thumb and forefinger. The pupil dilation is good, which shows that the pigeon is smart and sensitive, and it can also play a strong adaptability during the difficult journey.
Finally, it depends on its iris rainbow, which is often called bottom sand and surface sand. The bottom sand is required to be clear and bright, the peach blossom sand floor is as white as silver, and the chicken yellow sand is required to be golden and shiny. If the bottom sand is dark, it is not a good pigeon. The surface sand should be layered and three-dimensional. Sand is like a good pigeon hanging from the roof, but it is not qualified as flat as watercolor.
How to choose to appreciate the eyes of homing pigeons
(1) dry; Dry eyes and dry face, this is the mature performance of excellent homing pigeons. It shows that homing pigeons have clear vision, clear direction and are good at flying far away. On the contrary, the eye sand makes people feel watery, and the pigment on the surface sand is turbid and fuzzy, indicating that the pigeon's vision and orientation are unclear and it is difficult to bear the weight.
(2) old; The vigorous and old-fashioned eye sand is the embodiment of racing and good reproductive ability. Aging is the embodiment of internal strength, the result of hard work and tempering, and the symbol of strong flying quality. Only after a long and intensive flight training and the accumulation of several generations of Yuanxiang genes can we achieve this vigorous, sophisticated and pure state. This is the characteristic of long-distance and ultra-long-distance breeding pigeon strains, which is incomparable to the bright yellow, green, bright red and milky white eyes of some short-distance racing pigeons.
(3) thick; Excellent long-distance racing pigeons should have thick, full and firm surface sand. The thickness of surface sand is the characteristic of long-distance pigeons. On the contrary, the surface sand is scarce, and bright homing pigeons are often explosive and good at short and medium distances.
(4) Reality; Densely arranged, piled up and condensed, it often presents a solid and heavy bottom sand, which is unique to long-distance racing pigeons and excellent long-distance breeding pigeons. Although the bright and thin bottom sand is also an excellent racing pigeon, it always appears in short-distance players.
(5) tight; Eyelid tightness is one of the characteristics of excellent racing pigeons, and it is also the embodiment of physical strength and energy. The structure of the eye sand is tight, and the eye mark and the inner line lock the pupil, which is another meaning of tightness. The arrangement structure of eye sand is centered on the pupil and arranged radially outward. Eyes that conform to this arrangement, whether inward opening or eye vision, must be speed homing pigeons with keen thinking, quick action and strong reaction ability.
(6) God; Carrier pigeons have bright eyes and bright eyes, which are not only a sign of health, but also a sign of strong racing mechanism and intelligence and agility. On the contrary, homing pigeons with dull eyes and stupefaction must be very dull and weak, and they are not qualified to fly and plant.
(7) oil; Oil hangs on the surface sand, and its sand surface seems to have been soaked in oil, deep but not dim, bright but not floating. Face sand is not the same as face sand with tears. The oil hanging on the surface sand has nothing to do with the depth of the eyes. In races at various distances, most of the eye sand of the winning pigeons has a good oil layer, which is the most remarkable and main feature of the winning pigeons. Pigeons with good oil layers can stand being released again and will not get lost easily.
(8) bright; The brightness of racing pigeon eye sand is reflected in three aspects: the surface sand is clear and bright, the bottom sand is as bright as a mirror, the eyes are like gold rings and silver rings to lock the pupils, or covered with gold powder or silver powder, which complement each other with the bottom sand and surface sand and are lifelike. The brightness of racing pigeons should be observed in backlight or shadow, so that bright light can be clearly reflected, that is, the eye sand with darker pigment will still shine like black pearls. When the shiny bottom sand penetrates into the surface sand in a large area, it forms a mixed sand surface, showing a strong three-dimensional sense, which is the standard of excellent pigeon breeding.
(9) live broadcast; Movable type is mainly reflected in the pupil. Excellent racing pigeons turn their eyes up, down, left and right, remain highly alert to their surroundings, and respond to any tiny alarm, including eagles and falcons flying high in the sky. This kind of pigeon is suitable for both competition and planting. Nystagmus is one of the characteristics of excellent homing pigeons, just like spinning. The tremor of the eyeball drives the eye sand to shake in a wide range, giving off a bright sense of light in the flashing jump, and the fast-jumping face sand reflects the agility and alertness of racing pigeons. But gentleness does not mean dullness, and impatience cannot be regarded as alertness. Only those who are bold and cautious can be good at foraging, overcome obstacles and return to China successfully. For homing pigeons in a long distance, movable type is not only reflected in the pupil, but also in the sophistication of personality and overall vitality.
(10) fresh; Excellent carrier pigeon eye sand is fresh but not bright, bright and calm, and the pigment should be deep but not turbid, bright but not bright. Pale and delicate, not conducive to wealth; Gray light indicates weakness and is difficult to stand out. This kind of bright-eyed and sandy pigeon often stands out, especially in rainy or foggy climate.
Pigeon eyes can be divided into three categories: yellow eyes, trachoma and bull eyes.
It is divided into the following categories:
1. Yunsha: Fundus sand has gray circles. At the bottom of the white clouds, the sand on the surface is red. (Good at flying on cloudy days)
2, silt: there is a cloud bottom around the pupil. The sand turned red. (Good at flying on cloudy days)
3. Cloud pink sand: Eye sand is between cloud sand and pink sand. (cloudy)
4, blue water peach blossom: eye sand purple. The fundus is blue. It's called blue water purple peach blossom sand. (strong light)
5. Earth red sand: Yellow sand and red sand are evenly matched. (cloudy)
6. Yellow sand with red background: Yellow sand is the main bottom sand. The surface sand is mainly red sand, with half yellow and half red. Equal pairing combination. (strong light)
7. Yellow-bottomed red sand: mainly yellow-bottomed sand. The surface sand is reddish. (strong light)
8. Red sand: Red sand is the main component of bacteria in bottom sand and surface sand. (strong light)
9, purple sand: the whole eye sand is purple, several high-profile eye sand. (Gao Xiang)
10, red coarse sand: the sand bottom is slightly yellow, and the surface sand leaks out of the whole red film. (tropical)
1 1. Oil eye sand: There is a green thin blue circle around the pupil, and the face sand is purple and dark gray. (at night)
12. Black eye sand: Bottom sand and surface sand are composed of yellow-green tones, belonging to yellow-green slightly black sand type. (white. Black)
13. Sauce sand: Bottom sand and top sand are brown sand molds composed of three colors: yellow, red and black. The bottom sand is golden and shiny, the surface sand is dark brown, the pupil line is black, and all colors are harmonious, belonging to the "all-weather" sand type (white background and dark night).
Eye selection of breeding pigeons: the key to breeding. The five circles have distinct layers, and there are ladder-shaped layers between them.
The pupil in the first circle is round, with flexible contraction and orderly retraction, and has a sense of rhythm under strong light.
The second circle, a circle with a light black, light blue or rusty red circle around the pupil, is called the conformity circle. There are smooth surface shape, chain bead shape, internal tooth shape and external tooth shape. Conformity circle is commonly known as internal buckle. Not all pigeons have a herd circle, but pigeons that behave well and stably are obviously a herd circle. Pigeons should choose those pigeons with obvious conformity. The shape of the herd is not important, but mating with different shapes should be considered when choosing breeding pigeons.
The correlation circle of the third circle, commonly known as the eye mark, should have the same step feeling as the coincidence circle, but on the correlation circle, you can see that the speed line (radial) is like the sun's light, and the distance line (circle) is wrapped around the correlation circle. The existence of these two lines can predict the speed and flight distance of this pigeon.
The iris of the Fourth Hospital (commonly known as eye sand) also needs a sense of step. Coarse sand is like cracked river mud, which has a strong three-dimensional effect. There is a feeling that the pigeon's eyes are covered with black gas, which is of high value. There are also yellow lines and golden stones. When the monument appears in the iris, (such as white) it is best to choose 12- 15 according to experience.
The fifth circle of sand sealing is also layered with iris, black, but strong and good.
Han Songtao's Basic Knowledge of Carrier Pigeons
Let's talk about what eyes are first. Eye vision is also called "conforming to a circle". Transliterated as "Arsha". The circle outside the pupil is slightly lighter than the pupil. Most people can see clearly in strong light. Eye marks are structurally divided into horizontal eye marks, vertical eye marks, semicircular eye marks, full round eye marks, wide round eye marks, sawtooth eye marks and incomplete eye marks. Violet eyes, etc According to the shape and color of the eyes, it can be judged whether the homing pigeon is a racing pigeon or a breeding pigeon, or a mixture of the two. As for blind homing pigeons, although they can compete, they should not be planted.
The horizontal eye is located below the periphery of the pupil. This is one of the most common eye marks. The length and width are different, and the width, depth and black are the best. If the part around the pupil is less than 25%, it means that this pigeon is a poor pigeon, which is not suitable for competition or seed retention.
The vertical eye mark is located above the pupil periphery, on the dotted line from the pupil center to the beak. It must be wide and black, it must have a tough appearance, and it must not feel broken. If the above conditions are met, then this pigeon is suitable for breeding. If the part around the pupil is less than 25%, its value as a breeding pigeon will be reduced accordingly.
Gu Ming wants to know that semicircular eye marks surround most of the circle, usually accounting for about 75% of the students, including vertical eye marks. It is superior to the vertical and horizontal eye marks, and its offspring are likely to cultivate excellent carrier pigeons with wide round eye marks.
Needless to say, everyone knows that a full round eye is around the whole pupil. Only those who look rich but have no width are top grades. It is better than vertical and horizontal eye recording, but not as good as wide circle eye recording.
Incomplete eye movements almost surround the whole pupil, but there is no full circumference. There is a bulge (notch) below the pupil periphery. This is a rare eye mark. If it is a pigeon with this eye mark, it is suitable for long-distance running competition, so it can also be said to be the standard of excellent long-distance running pigeons.
The wide round eye mark also surrounds the whole pupil, which is the same as "full circle"; The difference is that the eyes are wide and black, and the tone is calm and clear. Wide and round eye lines are the characteristics of ideal breeding pigeons. Many champion pigeons have this special vision.
Sawtooth eyes are wide, tightly around the pupil, and have a stable black color. The outer edge is like a screw, and the closer to the rainbow, the thinner the grain. Such eye marks are rare. Any pigeon with this vision is not only an excellent racing pigeon, but also a breeding pigeon that produces long-distance racing pigeons, especially when it appears on the mother pigeon, so it is called "breeding pigeon eye".
Yellow eyes are yellow on the basis of pupils around horizontal eyes. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to confuse yellow eyes with official eyes, but if you look carefully, you will find a yellow circle around the pupil, which is moderate in width, but obviously different from the yellow background in Ayabeni. This is also a rare eye. Better than horizontal eye vision and fixed eye vision, but worse than green eye vision. Pigeons with this vision are not only excellent long-distance racing pigeons, but also excellent breeding pigeons.
Green eyes are a circle of green around the pupil, and green is dark green, not emerald green or grass green. The green circle must be wide enough and the color should be deep and stable. This is the rarest kind of eye mark. Pigeons with green eyes are excellent breeding pigeons. Pigeons with green eyes gradually turn yellow with age.
Violet eyes present a violet circle around the pupil. The width should be enough, and the color should be dark and stable. It often appears in peach blossom eye sand. It is also an excellent breeding pigeon, just like green eyes.
