FOR THE NEWCOMER IN PIGEON RACING

Cudy · Dec 7, 2019 ·

Here at TOP PIGEON we believe that Pigeon Caring & Keeping involves providing for all their basic needs and keeping them safe.
Maybe we can learn from each other and get the pigeon racing sport to grow in South Africa by learning what the champions are doing.
It’s not a pleasant experience on race day to be the odd one out… when every pigeon fancier in your neighborhood is receiving an early-returning pigeon in the winning pack but yours is nowhere to be seen.
If horse racing is famously the sport of kings, then flying pigeons is the more prosaic dominion of solid citizens with a loft in the yard.
“Not every man can breed for racing horse but even an “oomie” on pension can put a few birds in a loft,” – “It’s the poor man’s horse racing.”

The TOP PIGEON MANAGEMENT  delight ourselves in building warm relationships with racing pigeon fans that have a passion for pigeon racing and love the history of it. Let us Listen and learn from the Champions worldwide how they Care & Keep the needs of their pigeons.
