Incitful, thought provoking read into what it takes to be a consistent long distance racing pigeon fancier. Not heavy on statistics just interesting conversations with dedicated people on their methods for creating a bird that will fly long distances. The heroics of these amazing little creatures is far superior to their counterparts in horse and greyhound racing yet sadly they receive a fraction of the recognition and very little praise. A must read for anyone remotely interested in our feathered friends.
