So what is "Eye Sign" it is
"the visual indication of the mental capabilities that a pigeon
possesses" whether or not they can use their mental capacities to the
utmost potential one can never know, because it is the part that one can never
see - the guts and determination which drive a pigeon on to become great. But
eye sign can help us select birds to achieve this end. I myself have done
extensive investigations into the fact that birds with good eyes do better than
birds with the lack of it One can never assume a pigeon who has a very good eye
pattern will be a world beater, but given the fact that most pigeons with a
good eye pattern have greater capacities for intelligence than one with poorer
patterns, then the one with the better patterns will succeed. In pigeons this
will be true only if the bird possesses all the other attributes such as
physique heart, feather and the guts and determination to win. The slides were
taken by the late Miller McAllister of Northern Ireland, part of a four year
study we were doing into eye patterns, as flying into Ireland must be the
hardest route one can fly into the British Isles. |
