	Dove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pigeons and doves are stout-bodied birds with short necks and short slender bills with a fleshy cere.
		Unlike most other birds, (but see flamingo), the doves and pigeons produce "crop milk", which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop.

	The Observer \| Sport \| Don't fancy yours much
		In this extended period before the first pigeon arrived back at the communal loft (the shed-like building that was the finishing line), each owner could still indulge in the dream that the winner's cheque of $200,000 was winging its way towards them.
		Aside from this obsession with sheds, there are aspects of pigeon racing that, from a spectator's perspective, ill-fit a conventional understanding of sport.
		Pigeon fanciers, of course, are inclined to disagree.

		Brown, 54, has been racing pigeons since he was a child and even had a pigeon coop in his back yard while he was attending medical school to become a podiatrist.
		Pigeons are tough birds, and he enjoys handling and feeding them, said Conley, as he hand-fed a baby pigeon in a box alongside him.
		Pigeons will always come back to where they were born and have the ability to "home" from hundreds of miles away.

	National Pigeon & Pest Control (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The advent of oilseed rape has provided the pigeon with a nearly year-round supply of food to which they seem to have become addicted, making it impossible for the shooter to decoy them over this particular crop for almost 10 months of the year.
		Pigeon may also be shot from woods when they are coming in to roost, usually in the month of February.
		Likewise, even if the shooter has gained permission to shoot over, say, one or two farms, the pigeon shooting clubs and organisations are very much worth supporting as they usually offer the shooter more opportunity to follow the pigeon about.

	The Piedmont Racing Pigeon Combine
		Written originally in the magazine Pigeon Sport (UK), and later reprinted in the Racing Pigeon Digest (USA), a very intriguing, well-presented article on the breast muscles of pigeons by Alan Wheeldon of Britain advanced his views on the differences between the flight muscles of sprint and distance birds.
		Pigeons have only two types of fibres in the major breast muscles, and according to Dr George, with whom I discussed this subject, this arrangement does not change with training as it does in humans.
		As we have seen, in pigeons, the two types of fibres in the major breast muscles are both extremely fast (fast-twitch), but the white fibres have a much faster contraction velocity than the red fibres.

		I got involved in that for the sport of the thing, but, there again, the Type A personality took off on me. I bought a farm down in Texas, hired my brother, who was very good with dogs, to go down and run it.

		Michel was born in 1935 as the youngest child of eight, into a real "pigeon family." Something would have had to go seriously wrong for Michel not to get infected with the "pigeon virus," because both his father Richard and his brothers were good fanciers.
		Michel didn't get the opportunity to be in the pigeon lofts a lot, because as a little guy he went to a special school where he had to stay the whole week and week-ends.
		The pigeon sport is a tough sport, and pigeons who are born in the loft of Michel Van Lint may not assume they will have an easy life.

	Junk Science in the Racing Pigeon Sport
		First off, he claimed that racing pigeons rarely use the white fiber muscles and these white fibers are the ones that might benefit from creatine usage.
		He stated that the breast muscles of racing pigeons are red fiber and use fat not glucose for energy.
		So, if 10% of the fibers of the breast muscle of a pigeon are white fibers and each white fiber fills at least 300% the area of a red fiber than the breast muscle of a racing pigeon is about 25% white muscle and 75% red muscle by volume.
