The flying qualities of these pigeons are well passed on by inheritance if the breed is kept pure. The general principle of training is identical to the training of high-flying pigeons. During the training of fighting pigeons, there are specimens that, when performing a "fight", lose orientation in the air and, tumbling, fall on roofs, trees and the ground. As pigeon breeders say, "the pigeon gets hammered." As a result of falls, pigeons often get injured and die. To correct the violation of the flight style, pigeon breeders use the following measures: they cut the vanes of several tail feathers or pull them out; At 2-3 weeks, the pigeon is "put on pins", that is, the outermost flight feather is pierced with a small pin and the remaining primary flight feathers are pinned. From time to time, it is "stirred", scared. With a pin, it cannot fly and beats its wings above the ground. After removing the pin, the pigeon is placed on the hand and lightly, just a little, tossed. Click - and the pigeon is back on the hand. This needs to be done several times. However, it should be remembered that not every pigeon can be trained in this way. If it does not work, then after 2-3 weeks the training course is repeated. Young pigeons begin to beat differently. There are individuals with early and late fighting. The former begin to beat at the age of 2 months, and the latter - at 6-10 months, and sometimes at 2-3 years. At first, young pigeons fail to perform a somersault, they turn over on their tails – “ride on their tails” – and lose altitude. Later, they perform awkward somersaults, and after 1–2 months, the main elements of a fight are outlined. Many fans of fighting pigeons point out that the final flight style of young animals is established only the following year, after the chicks appear. Fighting pigeons show their best and most beautiful flight in pairs, when they have chicks and are preparing for the next egg laying. The heyday of flying and playing abilities occurs in female pigeons after a year, and in male pigeons – at the age of 2–3 years. When a large group is raised to flight, many pigeons stop playing. No more than 8–10 birds should be raised to flight: with this number, they play better and more often and show a beautiful flight. After the autumn-winter break, fighting pigeons restore their flying qualities after 1–2 weeks of daily rises. Trained fighting pigeons fly for 6 hours or more. #pigeon #pigeons #falco
