Pakistani High flyer Pigeon’s wing structures and it’s attributes Part-2

By -


It took little time to come up with some good pictures for better understanding of ideal Pakistani high flyer pigeon's wing structure.

As I already discussed in my last article that due to the extensive cross breeding. We come across with many varieties of Pakistani high flyer pigeons. There is not a particular shape of wing that can be categorized as best among all. You must know few basic things to pick best Pakistani high flyer pigeon.

For giving you some good idea, I have prepared two samples for you guys to understand high flyer body silhouette in comparison to low flyers.

If you see silhouette of low flyer pigeon you can easily compare this with falcon. As they are compact and has proportionally long wing. Body structure slim as compare to high flyer pigeons of Pakistan.

Whereas if you see body silhouette of Pakistani high flyer. You can easily see that their wing and body structure are proportionally bigger and broader. Therefore, their tendency of flying at lower altitude is less then low flyers. Their body takes more lift due to broader structure.

Low flyer with thinner structure get less lift but gives it tendency to fight against heavy wind, therefore they can fly low altitude.

So it was all about structure and its impact on the flying style of Pakistani high flying pigeon. Now what are the indicators of good flyer. Let us understand it like this, if an airplane has holes in its wing. Do you think that airplane can fly in this condition? Similarly, if a wing of flying pigeon has gaps in its flying feathers. It creates air pockets between the gapes. It gives extra burden on the wing and in the result less flying time with high energy wastage.

So the wing of high flyer pigeon should be compact, feathers arrangement should be without any gap. 

Second most important thing is the curve at the wing joint or under arm. If you open pigeon's wing and see it from front you will see a deep curve between under arm and starting area of primaries. This curve should be deep to get maximum lift.

Bigger primaries mean, (8,9 & 10) should be curved inside. It gives maximum help to pass air flow with less friction. If outer primaries go outside the wing, It gives more area to bounce with coming high pressure of air and in the result it creates more friction. That increase energy consumption and in result pigeon get tired earlier.

High flying pigeons are famous due to to their endurance flying and homing capabilities. This particular class of flying pigeons can be found across the world. They may have difference of colors, structures but these all breeds can fly in deep sky that human eye cannot see them. These pigeons spend maximum time of their flight in deep sky and can attain 1500 meters of height. At this altitude it is near to impossible to see them with naked eyes. There are top 5 famous high flying breeds. There can be many others but these 5 are on top. Skycutter Pigeon. These birds are also called orliks. This amazing breed of high flying pigeons developed Ukraine many years back. these pigeons have ability to fly straight from their loft and can go over 1500 meters of height. These birds never fly in rounds and just stay in one position while complete flying time. They are medium to large birds with big wing span and long tail. They have extra flexible elbow which gives them flexibility to m...

Pigeon's Breeding techniques is the most demanding and important topic of pigeon's fancy. People from all over the world try to find out the best techniques to produce great flying pigeons. Remember, it is not impossible to produce pigeon with great flying and homing abilities. All you need to have experience, bird’s understanding and your own desirable requirements. In this topic, I will discuss Highflying pigeon's breeds, pairing, structure, diet, breeding season, cage and breeding accommodation .  In my last topics, I have already discussed regarding different highflying breeds and their differences. In this post I will more be more focused on the difference of structure and their impacts on flying pattern. It is ironic that definition of breed is different in sub-continent and totally opposite in western or developed countries. People in subcontinent name the breed after their color but not their body structure. Therefore it is very difficult to standardize one breed...

Different Flying Patterns of Flying Pigeons

                          After deep research and discussing with different experts I still feel that explaining different flying patterns of flying pigeons is a very difficult task. There is only one reason I found that the pigeon flying pattern derived from the pigeon’s structure and structure is directly connected to the gene of the pigeon. If we look in the past we will see that humans are keeping and breeding pigeons from long time and this breeding is not restricted to particular standards. This gives freedom to breeders and they sometimes breed different genes. It results as no standard flying pattern of pigeons. For example there are numerous patterns of rollers, tumblers and even high flyers.  First I will try to explain, what are the factors that are calculated to categories a flying pattern of pigeons? The most important factor of defining a flying pattern is the max altitude of flying pigeon. It means...
