Evaluating Racing Pigeons With Your Hands - The Lamberton's believe that there are important physical characteristics that are universal to many champion racing pigeons that consistently perform at the top of the race sheet.  This video targets these common characteristics, i.e., body, wing and tail feathering - flight feathers - backs - vents - keels - chests - buoyancy - etc. The Lamberton's believe that these physical traits should be continuously evaluated and appreciated by handling pigeons on a continuous basis; especially during the first two years of their lives.
