| Eye sign in pigeons is always controversial. I studied it for years, eventually realised that race winners or good performers USUALLY breed similar offspring. Like be-gets like, greatest percentage of the time. I had eye sign gurus here years ago looking at the birds. Performance of the birds looked at were not stated previous to their assessment. The results regarding ability to race or breed, were varied. The birds I have now have varying eyes, but being more or less related some eyes are more common than others. But each to their own ideas. |

George the eye is similar in colour but for me is more a racing eye and needs more depth JMO I Know Nothing |

| Im a bit confused is that eye the bird the 9yo was paired to or is it the youngster from it, ?? because it have almost an identical eye, so I wouldn't have paired that eye to it. But if its the youngster from it then it has taken the eye from the cock as they are the same as. |

| Here is the best eye I own, its from my V.D.B cock and I can asure you that the picture doesn't do this pigeon any justice at all under the glass in sunlight his I has everything, If I were judging eye sign he would be the winner.
Now his father was a crack pigeon multiple first winner, I was given the pigeon and hes very old, but after about 20 nests last year 1 full egg and hes the image of this cock with a great eye, so I will see this year if he breeds winners. |

| If this pigeon was young I would have a loft full of these, I would just keep breeding fro it but the previous owner didn't bred anything off him.. David any camera with a macro setting from zero the secret is not to go too close but to zoom in after the picture is taken then it looks better. |
