Hi good day,today im going to talk about my hobby and that is pigeon racing.
We call ourselves as pigeon fancier.The picture above is called a pigeon loft.It is where i house my pigeons to keep them safe and well maintained.The name of my loft is zechzion loft which is named after my son.Here in my loft is where all the hard work begins,because this plase is where i breed my pigeons,feed them,give water,vitamins and all essentials to keep my pigeons healthy and happy.
In the next picture is my breeding pair.
This is my breeding pair pigeons.Breeding pigeons begins from sellecting the best pair from a winning line of racing pigeons,meaning is that you shoud find a best male and a best female pigeon to breed.To get a good offspring you should pair them im the cage so that they can breed and have egg.Only two eggs can be produced per breeding cycle.The eggs are being brooded by the male and female pigeons in the span of 18 days and after that the eggs will hatch and new sky warriors will emerge.
Next pic is alert!
In this picture you can see baby pigeons with there mother.In the next few days the pair will take care of this youngs and feed them with pigeon milk.It is a liquid produced by pigeons that is converted from the feeds to milk in their crop.This milk is super pack with all essential nutrients to make thier baby grow so fast that in the span uf one month they will grow near to an adult size pigeons.In all feathered animal pigeons has the fastest growth rate of all.
This pic is a one month old pigeon which is already fully grown and can already eat on thier own.They already have complete feathers and can survive on thier own.We put rings on thier feet to serve as identification on each pigeons marked with numbers om it to keep records.In this stage of thier life they are now trained to become sky warriors or racing pigeons.Here in this stage they will be tamed and learned how to fly and enter the loft when it is feeding time.So that in the time of the race they can enter the loft quickly to be timed in.
Here are my pigeons being fed with the best feeds available in the market.
So thats all folks
See you in my next blog.
Thank you.
