| anyone know if certain types of eye are more suitable for certain distance racing......for example is a pearl eye more suitable for shorter races than long distance races, or is a yellow eye more suitable for middle distance races etc etc.......
or does it depend on the family of birds which type race certain distances best...
whats yer thoughts ? |

whats yer thoughts ? David I KNOW NOTHING but I will do my best to help out. this is my interpretation I would say Pearl/Violet eye are more suited for short / middle distance racing Yellow eyes are more suited for distance racing Remember going to a show and Bill Carney was there giving advise on eyesign and he said Yellow/Orange eyes were more suited to 300+ miles But there is always the odd one which would be different |

Have a look at this
the 6th eye looks similar to chuda`s winner, same thick black circle........ Knew Rob good bloke he liked his tattoos Rob was big friends with Eddie Wright of Old Fountain Head Lofts, but you can breed pigeons with a large first circle you take a look at any eyesign show all the winners have that same marking But I KNOW NOTHING |

| jack barkel once said you can breed the type of eye you want, by pairing certain eyes together, I asked him if while doing this you also altered the physique , shape and also the wing of the bird, he said you do....but concentrating solely on the eye could create a body shape which would be all wrong.
food for thought I suppose. |

| Colour doesn't matter, it's just in the family, ive seen all coloured eyes in sprint, middle distant and long distant eyes. |
