Ping's Pigeons

      So what's a filler? Yung wala lang, di mo ginagamit, nakakulong lang. I never considered them na gamitin to breed my future warriors. Both of these breeders were bred during pandemic. At that time sobrang tinamad ako mag race. Ni hindi ko tinuruan sa labas kinulong ko lang sila. Pero once in a while sinisilip ko yung sobrang tagal na nakakulong lang kasi naaawa ako never pa naka ranas ma breed.  For no apparent reason, napag pares ko sila. This year lang ako nag start mag bakuna ng kalapati. Last year madalas pako mamatayan ng pichon. I would breed a lot pero only the strongest survive. At that time na nag hatch sila me available pako ring. Yung mga inuulit kasi namamatayan nga ako. Who would have known (me) na they would produce such a strong sky warrior.  Sa kulay kasi nila parang na ju-judge ko agad wala to.

      I raced BFRC 2023 238300 (wala pa syang name) last year as a young bird in BFRC, together with her sister. I noticed back then na maganda lipad nya. In fact isa sya sa binabantayan ko sa race. Kaya lang nung 2nd to the last lap na cutoff na sya. Usually I stopped racing my pigeons pag na cut off na kasi I concentrate on my lives. Saka ayoko nung ang uuwi sakin sa race yung cutoffs. No no no no. Nung nag start ang GWRPA I raced her again, her sister live hanggang na cut off sa last lap, while she again, na cut off 2nd to the last lap ulit. After ng disappointing race nya kinulong ko na lang sya kasama ng mga breeders. Nung malapait na mag start ang summer race I decided to race her again.       Again ewan ko bakit sa kanya ako nakatutok lagi. If you will see my tiktok uploads, puro sya naka feature dun. Inaabutan ko kasi lagi pag landing nya. Tapos lahat ng category na pwede ko sya isali sinasali ko sya. 2nd to the last lap which was Badoc, Ilocos Norte, medyo kinabahan ako kasi 1

  Pigeon Diseases Canker (Trichomoniasis) Cause : The most common pigeon disease found. It is usually transmitted through drinking water and through parents feeding there young. Symptoms : Infected birds show a reduction in activity, ruffled feathers, loss of weight, increased water intake, and diarrhea. Cheesy yellowish deposits can often be observed in the mouth or throat. In advanced stages a stringy mucous and putrid odor can be detected in the mouth. Young birds are most susceptible to Canker. Prevention  - Control stress with half dosage of Improver and AntiFungal, this will control the stress to 0 in the birds. Maintain regular feed and withering schedules Sanitize waterers regularly Isolate and observe any newly acquired birds for several weeks Administer an anti-canker drug or Improver on a regular basis throughout the year. Veterinary recommendations vary from once every three months to once a month. This will depend upon incidence and susceptibility in your own flock. Coccid

     My very first pigeon ever was a white pigeon given to me by my aunt. That's why it became my favorite color. Ang dami ng dumaan saking pure white na pangarera, palit ako ng palit kasi either namamatay o fly away mga nagiging anak. Until finally I realized mukang kontra pelo ako sa puti. Di talaga lumalagpas ng three months edad ng pure white magkakasakit o kaya mawawala. Sa tagal ko nag race wala pa ko nalilipad na puti, kahit training lang. Last year sa gigil ko I bought 3 pairs of pure white racing pigeons, pag eto kako wala pa nakalusot wala na talaga. Luckily nakabuhay ako isa (yep she's the one on the picture). I kept waiting for it to get sick or pag uwi ko ng office wala na sya baka fly away na. But she's still here. Excited ako sobra kasi siningsingan ko sya ng summer. Makakaranas na ko ng mag race ng pure white. Yun nga lang, di sya nagkasakit o nag fly away pero yung race mismo yung nawala. Di ba ang galing. White curse continues.....kelan mawawala ang sumpa!

     More than a month bago mag start yung training ng GWRPA nanakawan ako. I was hospitalize kasi sobrang sakit ng left side of my tummy which turned out I have gall stones. I was given a high dose of pain reliever that night and I felt OK kinabukasan na ng hapon. It turns out while I was in pain naiwan ko pala loft ko na bukas. Pag silip ko ng hapon halos nalimas ibon ko sa flyer ko. Naospital na ko nanakawan pa, double whammy.      Akala ko di ko na makikita ulit yung mga nanakaw na kalapati. After a month isa isa nakakabalik yung mga nawala. Mukang tinuturuan sila kasi maiikli yung pakpak nung bumalik. Ang dudungis nila, hawak yata araw araw. I kept wishing my white bar na young bird sa GWRPA sana makabalik. Tuwing umuuwi ako sa office sinisilip ko agad loft kung nakabalik na sya. Ayun nga isang araw nakita ko na lang nakabalik na nga sya, mukang pulubi, payat, maikli pakpak. Sabi ko me one month pa bago mag start derby pwede pa maka recover.      Nung mga unang hagis la

     I wasn't planning on joining this year medyo hectic ang schedule. Mas gusto ko sana magpahinga na lang sa bahay. It was gonna be held on Saturday, e Sunday me awarding ako dadaluhan sa Province din. But on the day of the show I decided what the heck, makasali na nga din. Nung umaga lang ako pumili ng ilalaban, Ayoko maglaban ng nanalo na sa show, gusto ko iba naman. I chose the Opal Bar first. Father nya yung nanalo last year Best in show din sa Off Color Category. Iniisip ko na kung makukuha din ba nya yung title. Kino-compare ko kasi sila mas gwapo pa din kasi yung tatay. Sa Barless naman I was choosing beteen the cock and the hen, I decided on the cock na lang. One more, gusto ko tatlo, yung young bird ko sa BFRC this year. Pero nagaalangan ako kasi loading ng gabi baka ma stress.      So to cut the long story short. My Opal Bar  won 1st Place Opal Bar Category and Best in Breed Off Color Racing Pigeon. Sobrang nakaka proud kasi na duplicate nya yung ginawa ng tatay
