  • Spreading the good

    People have this idea that potions are these pests and “rats of the sky” but this podcast spreads the word that pigeons are actually great animals and is a great listen for anyone that likes birds or is into animal husbandry. Even if you do t own pigeons it still a great listen.

  • They’re finding their wings

    First year was a little rocky with audio quality and music, but the interviews are getting increasingly better and the content is even more dialed in. As a new pigeon enthusiast that binged year one, I’m really enjoying the direction it’s going in. Get Rosemary Moscow on here!

  • Keep it up guys!

    Love that you open up so many aspects of the hobby! Racing, rollers, shows, utility, etc.

    I find real value here in this relatively unique hobby.

    One thing I would love to see going forward is discontinuing the intro music as soon as the you’re done with the intro. It’s so difficult to hear and distracts from the speakers- including yourselves. Especially when listening in the car or in a busy setting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

154. Pigeon Nutrition Explained: Feeding for Racing, Breeding & Performance | Cody Holden
Q: What is the biggest feeding mistake you see in racing pigeons today?
Overreliance on peas and a European-style mentality about long-distance fuel; instead, nutrition should be tailored to the bird's specific job, using energy sources that match the race distance and training needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
154. Pigeon Nutrition Explained: Feeding for Racing, Breeding & Performance | Cody Holden
Q: Has Cody always been involved with racing pigeons, or did he come to it from a different background?
Cody explains his Northeast origin in trapping and training birds for various uses, then transitioning into racing pigeons and eventually partnering with Pure Grain due to his nutrition expertise.
147. Building a Championship Roller Team with Rick Mee
Q: What are the practical signs you look for in breeding to maximize synchronized breaks?
Look for birds that tend to go to the front of the group and break in unison, prefer full siblings or close relatives in the same litter, and ensure the birds' sizes and feed needs align to maintain a uniform performance under race-day conditions.
147. Building a Championship Roller Team with Rick Mee
Q: So when you talk about a kit versus a team, how do you approach turning a group into a cohesive unit?
It starts with selecting birds that show a tendency to break together and then breeding for tighter kinship so they perform as a unit, not just as individuals; timing and consistency through feeding, rest, and practice build the team dynamics.
146. Racing Pigeons Compilation Vol. 2 | 4-H, Hand Scanning, Long Distance Racing, Loft Design & Club Operations
Q: What are the biggest challenges for your club and the sport overall?
Membership size is identified as the main obstacle, affecting the ability to sustain longer, more expensive races and maintain robust schedules; growth is linked to outreach and diversification of events.
