Pigeon Raising Information

Pigeon raising is a traditional hobby. There are manuals and pedigrees, and each pigeon has its own name. It doesn't sound like a very promising business, but it is.

The main way people make money at pigeon keeping is by selling their birds as pets. But that's not the only way. There are also a few people who breed pigeons for racing, and there are other people who do both.

Someone might decide to start doing both. That would be a pretty brave move, but maybe it would pay off. Maybe there is some kind of pigeon-breeding market that could support many more buyers than sellers:

Are they really so different? After all, the main difference between buying a pet and buying racehorses is that the person you buy a racehorse from has no idea what you will use it for; you tell them. But if you buy a pet pigeon from someone who has bred it himself, he knows how you will use it; he knows how fast you will fly with it and how long it will live; he even knows what color coat you prefer. He may even know what food you feed your bird or what type of cage you keep it in, because he's kept one just like yours before.I

The most obvious way to raise pigeons is by feeding them, and the most effective way to raise pigeons is by giving them a good life. But there must be other ways. How can you build a better life for your birds?
