If it's ok then, I'll post a message from time to time about breeding a new kind of pigeon called a Release Duv. This message is about breeding for small...
Ron, The Valencian is a beautiful little bird. I know of several people working on a project like you've described. I believe they'll make good progress and...
Rena, When you say "downing the use of homers", are you using homer and racing pigeon interchangeably? Because Release Duvs are homers. I haven't used the...
Dale, I've queued up a message about homing that I'll post someday. I believe there are at least two kinds of tests we can do to objectively measure homing...
Hi Charlie, Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. I haven't taken many pictures of my birds. Most of my focus has been on the circling trait. In...
Charlie, Tameness is a good subject. In earlier years, I truly enjoyed hand feeding and taming the birds as you described, although you're clearly a better...
Greg, That's a good point. I can imagine a bird so docile, it isn't eager to fly off. My birds give me reason to believe that tameness and "eagerness to fly"...
What a fantastic milestone. I don't think it's possible to overstate how important it is. But it's ironic too, because it puts such an exclamation point on...
I have a population of F1s that make me wonder if there is a "Small" gene on the sex chromosome. No doubt there are multiple genes that effect size. In some...
Wynn, I sure hope someone can answer your question, I didn't even understand the language. I would be interesed in the answer though. Jeannette ... From:...
I suggest maybe contact Dr W.J.Miller professor at Iowa State. Now retired. He has done over 35b years of research with ringneck doves and worked allot with...

I don't think this message made it through the first time, so I'm trying again... ... From: Wynn Smith Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 7:42 AM Subject: Breeding...
Mike, Thanks for the nice complement. I want to comment on the "purity" issue. First of all, I agree with you and the other members of your club who say a...
Paul, Thanks for the comments. It's truly a big challenge to breed for so many goals. Each new outcross pollutes a refined strain. The solution is to...
Pat, I enjoy exchanging messages with people about genetics. But I'm realizing my other hope is to increase the number of people using good breeding...
Johan, Wow. You ask a lot of good questions. I'm not any kind of expert on racing pigeons, but the basics of genetics apply to any kind of breeding, so I'll...
Hi Wynn, arent the tamer birds more likely to not want to take off when a release door is opened? I have seen some baskets opened and the birds just stand...
Hi Rena, "Tameness" is one of the breeding messages that I started to write several months ago. I'll finish it up someday. But I haven't really thought...
I noticed in my Modenas trying to coop train them for shows that with the
same attention and training there are some birds like a brother and sister
that will...
From time to time, I'll post an article about breeding a new kind of pigeon called a Release Duv. This article is about breeding for homing skills. So what...
Has anyone heard of this band. AAA 1614 we have a bird reported to 911PigeonAlert that has been found and no one can identify this band. We would like to get...
Exactly, stupid isnt it! Roller Bands are outrageous to track down to
unless its a NBRC bird. I was told the Roller guys dont like anyone to know
where they...
Dear Friends, I've got two things here you'll like. On the opening day of High School Football, I showed up with a crate of white pigeons to release on the ...
I absolutely loved it Wynn!!! OK, now you not only have to help me with my pigeons, but with using the digital video camera, as well. Adobe Premiere Elements...
My Release Duvs made the news last night. Earlier I told you about the release at the first football game this year. Last night the news cameras were there...
