This eye is more racing eye for me middle distance, but as a breeder you would need something with plenty of depth with plenty of breeding signs |

| Got to say Martyn the last three eye you placed on the site are top quality, the first 2 were a bit hitty missy
Are last three from the same family of birds that are closely related ?? |

| I personally look at both eyes, and they can be very different but equall in class but not always in colour...I can assure you that genetically a pigeon takes 25% of each parent and the remaining 50% will be unique to every pigeon, that's why a nest pair can be so different.
Don your right mate the first 3 I think are poor and the next 3 very good eyes not the same family . |

| had a mate that had a pigeon he called it the cluster cock it bred winner after winner heres on http://www.tmakowecki.com/UltBeye.shtmllets not forget its a theory the bird still has to have a brain and staminer good strong back and muscles and the will to get home without these it can have 3 eyes but wont make a world beater |

| not a clue about eyesiign george to be honest but wouldnt knock it how ever them in the know and say weahter a bird will be a racer or a breeder should if its all teue know the short cut to buying champion pigeons
heres an instance for you this year we put 7 pigeons in an eyes sign class for young birds all of which had won prizes and fed cards yet not one won a card in the eyesign class of which 64 was in the class now either all ours have weak eyes me or my mate no nothing about eyes or it wasnt the type the judge wasnt looking for the only thing we came away with was the facted they came off proven breeders and won
so in my eyes ile stick to 90%of the rest of the bird rather than the eyes |

| I know the minute I handle a bird if I will keep it I don't look at the eye what I want to know is more on the breeding eye I also think the eye only comes into play at 500 + mls |

| RAINBOW The eye you posted is a very good picture and you done a great job better than some I mine..lol
That bird has a very good eye what I call a true pearl, that bird I my opinion would have made a very good racer at any distance, but it has an excellent breeding trait so would have expected you to have had some very good pigeons from it. |

| so what about a comment on the bird with the cluster martyn its a proven multi winner yet you didnt know what it ment so how do you evaluate the birds so many different theories on eyesign and who reads them
how come many winners dont have what the judges call a good eye |

| I wanted to post this eye picture to show something in eye sign which is my little secret there are 2 secrets but this eye only has 1 but its a good one. This eye is from a brilliant racer and there is something about the eye other than the usual, like , colour, Iris, Eye sign and so on.
The secret is something you wont see that often if ever when you start photographing your birds eyes, A VERY SMALL PUPIL. So not the eye sign at all although this bird has a great eye anyway but the pupil is tiny compared to the rest of the eye and I associate it with a crack flyer.
