How should you choose a good Homing Pigeon

     There are many things that you need to have in mind before getting a homing pigeon. Let me list out those things very precisely.

     1. You need to search and find a good homing pigeon fancier. So that you may get a pigeon of a good line and quality...

     2. Don't give preference to the colors of the bird...

     6. Last but not the least, let me say something about the eye of the pigeons. There are many eye pigmentations in pigeons. There is nothing much to do with the pigmentation, but I would suggest you go with Golden orange color or Pearl eyed pigeon. Also, you should note that the pupil should be smaller. The smaller the pupil higher the performance in distance racing...
