THE PIGEON AS WE SEE IT...

Targi Kielce's Expo Halls will once again become a display for cages with winged beauties

The work of the judges who assess pedigree-pigeon race is very similar to the work of Polish Kennel Club representatives. Just like with dogs, they assess birds' silhouette, whether there are symptoms of illness or deformations, what is the shape of the bird's feathers.  The birds' body posture is also an important appraisal element. A male pouter that proudly presents and flexes its chest will catch the eye of the harshest judge.  The most beautiful pigeons are divided into breeds, and also into the 9 groups, and these are:

- Utility pigeons, e.g. Carneau

- Exhibition Tumblers, e.g. English Magpie

- Homer and Hen Pigeons e.g. the English Carrier

- Pouters and Croppers e.g.  the Norwich Cropper

- Colour pigeons e.g. the Czech Coloured

- Feather and Voice Pigeons, e.g. the Fantail

- Frills and Owls, e.g. Oriental Frill

- Tiplers

- Flying Tumblers and Highfliers e.g. Danzig Highflyer

You also have a chance to see all these amazing birds  - join us on 30 and 31 January 2016 for the National Pedigree Pigeon Exhibition and Small Livestock held in Targi Kielce.
