Second, we can see the pigeon's health and the peak state before the game from the pigeon's eyes. A healthy pigeon, its eyes must be bright, radiant, bright rather than dripping with water, with clear sand grains and more three-dimensional sense. Some weak pigeons often have stagnant eyes, lose their former brightness, and the sand is muddy and unclear. Monocular colds or pigeon pox are more obvious in the eyes, ranging from wet eyes, tears and blepharoptosis to swollen eyelids, or acne grains on the eyelids and fading of eye sand. Before the pigeon is caged, the owner always needs to see if it is at its peak. Then, the eyes are an important sign. The eyes are bright, dry and bright, the sand is bright red, the yellow is bright and golden, and the pigeon with red eyelids is redder than before. All these indicate that this pigeon is at its peak and the competition will have a good play.
From the color of eye sand, the thickness and arrangement density of sand particles, we can roughly judge what strain this feather pigeon is. Pigeon's eye sand, including surface sand and bottom sand, is hereditary, both explicit and recessive. As long as it is inbreeding, the same eye sand will appear when the 1th generation replaces the 2th generation. For example, Zhan Sen's pigeon has an "old white eye". Although it has been several decades, until today, white peach blossom and red eyelid are still his "registered trademarks". The eye sand of No.9 obtained by Hengde is deep chicken yellow. The eye sand of Shanghai "Li Bird" is similar to No.9, but "Li Bird" also has beautiful red bayberry peach blossoms. There are Yang Ateng's eye sand and Allevi's eye sand, all of which have their own characteristics. Pigeons will know it at a glance.
it is appropriate to pour the country into integrity ". Although the pigeon eye is very important to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of a homing pigeon, it must be comprehensively examined. For example, the pigeon < P > is descended from its parents, ancestors, peers and descendants. Then there is the pigeon's individual, body shape, feather, bones, muscles, waist, wings and eyes.
why admire the eyebrows alone? " If we simply judge the quality of a pigeon from its eyes, it is easy to make the mistake of generalizing. I have a lot of experience and lessons in this respect. For example, violet eyes in peach blossom sand and green eyes in chicken yellow sand, I also think they are rare good pigeons. I have a 9 × Allevi Shimoyudian male pigeon, which was given by my old friend Zhang Chaode. It has a pair of lovely blue-and-purple peach-blossom eyes, and it looks better as you get older. Wuxi pigeon lovers want to borrow it, so I can't bear to leave the shed. But its life is still like a guard of honor for people to appreciate, not a combat force, and its descendants are not outstanding.
For another example, the spotted pigeon is sometimes blown to the gods, and there is an advertisement claiming that "the offspring of the spotted pigeon are specially provided". I have a feather grey male, which was given by Ruan Jibao of Huangyan. In the pupil, there is a cluster of silver eye spots as big as rice grains. Most of the eye spots people see are a little or two points as big as a golden needle tip. It is extremely rare to see dozens of eye spots grouped together. Japan's "Pigeon-Eye Heroes" Daihei Takashi and Yamashi Hiroshi loved them very much, and took more than a dozen photos of the eye cluster and brought them back to Japan. After a while, Shanshi and Saburo came to ask for photos again and valued the pigeons in the eye cluster. To tell you the truth, none of my champion pigeons is a child with a cluster of eyes.
Undoubtedly, violets, green eyes and spotted eyes all have good pigeons and mediocre people. It is a pleasure and enjoyment for pigeon breeders to appreciate pigeon eyes. When a pigeon friend visits, it is an honor and satisfaction for the pigeon owner to see the glittering trophy, the violet pigeon eyes and the dotted eyes. If you look at a pigeon's eyes, you can know that it can fly the championship, or its children can fly the championship, believing in young people and laughing for those who know.
In p>1988, my pigeon friend Chen Changyuan and I planned a scientific experiment on pigeon eyes to find out the photosensitive cells from the rainbow to prove the effect of eye sand on pigeon homing. He is a doctor, and invited two famous chief pathologists, and spent two months doing physiological anatomy on pigeon eyes. No less than 1 homing pigeons were used, which were divided into two experimental groups. The pigeon eyes were frozen and sliced, and the fine structure of eye sand, eye marks and character circles were observed at 5-2 times magnification, and 36 color films were taken. Conclusion To our great disappointment, the eye sand is not a photoreceptor cell, but consists of nutrient blood vessels and pigment cells. The eye mark and character circle are two muscles, which are "out of bounds" with the genetic properties of pigeons. Of course, the development of these nutrient vessels and muscles has a direct effect on the function of pigeon eyes. This experiment is an important achievement in the scientific research of homing pigeons in China, but pigeon eye theorists ignore it, because according to them, "pigeon eye research is not limited by biology" and "Mendel's law is not suitable for pigeon eye research". In order to provide reference for pigeon lovers, eight photos of the selected power were published in "Chinese Pigeons", and Chen Yuanchang wrote a paper to discuss the process and conclusion of this experiment.
I think pigeon's eye should be studied, and the research should be guided by scientific theory, and a scientific conclusion can be drawn, such as "boldly thinking and carefully verifying". However, it is also necessary to "verify". However, some pigeon fanciers have written large pigeon-eye articles without scientific research. They only have "bold ideas" without "careful verification", which is often misleading. When young people see the article, they look for it and sit in the right place. As a result, they run down the wrong path hopefully. In the pigeon world, the 195s was the heyday of the research on pigeon's eyes. Later, Ro Fleming wrote a book "The Application of Pigeon's Eyes", and SoWoE published a book "The Secret of Pigeon's Eyes", etc. After seeing that the articles on pigeon's eyes in China were in the 198s, they were all verified by statistical methods, and soon they were left out in the cold. Scientific discovery is often ridiculed as a dream before it is successful. If you dare not even dream, there will be no scientific discovery. We should support pigeon eye research, but we should not trust the conclusion of subjective imagination.
