In every fancier`s eyes pigeons are the most wonderful creatures to share our lives with, we can look for hours at them and still feel like there is more to see on them .We look at each one of them patientely,the way they behave, we learn about their characters, some are shy ,some are overteritorial, while others will come and sit on our shoulder and study us with no fear whatsoever. We all have our little story that we can not forget in the way we have embraced this sport, how it all begun, how we willingly let these unique creatures to conquer our hearts only to never let go after. I remember myslef many years ago stearing at this blue bar pigeon that one of my friendsreceived from an old fancier ,it was one of the most beautiful thing i have ever seen, i was absolutely mesmerised by the way it looked and i said to myself "i got to have this bird".From the moment that bird looked in to my eyes i realized what it means to be complete, no other pets i used to have could fill that need of mine. I can see myself studying the bird on all sides while my friend started to tell me stories about how these birds can return from great distances and carry messages .Do not worry, my friend said I am gonna give the bird to you.
It was a divine moment ,when i saw its shiny aluminium ring I thought it was a messanger from god himself...man i was so hooked up, i even believed it was born with that ring. Looking back over the years at that moment in time
i realized that i was always met to be around racing pigeons ,it was just a matter of when will that happen ,the call of that bird was there for me and i am really glad it happened at an early age in my life. After a few days i have paid a visit to the old fancier and the first advice he gave me was ... i will never forget it ,
"Keep the bird healthy no mater what ".
For people that do not have this call, this weakness ,this love , this great need in their lives it is easy to say: What`s the big deal about these pigeons? for me, for us all i believe, it is simply of being who we are, it is that special thing that makes us smile from early hours of each day, it is a place where we find ourselves at peace like
no where else, it is that thing that keep us going when we are old ,it is that thing that makes us stronger when we think we have reached our limits, it is a refuge when there is nowhere to hide ,it is us expressing ourselves, it is us being ourselves ,that is how i feel about these pigeons and i am realy glad that i have the opportunity of sharing my experince with all of you my fellow fanciers friends .
