This vintage volume contains a comprehensive guide to thoroughbred racing pigeons, with information on their natural history, breeding, selection, types, and more. Containing a wealth of interesting and practical information, this timeless handbook will be of considerable utility to the modern fancier, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Racing", "The Breathing System", "The Digestive Organs", "The Bird's Eye", "The Homing Faculty", "Bird Flight", "Marey's Experiments", "Genetics", "Breeding", "Apropos Origins", "Pure Strains", and "Your Questions Answered". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.
