The difference between meat pigeon and domestic pigeon

Pigeons: Pigeons can be divided into carrier pigeons, meat pigeons and ornamental pigeons according to their uses. Among them, homing pigeons have strong flying ability and homing ability, while meat pigeons are big, have strong reproductive ability and produce more meat. Ornamental pigeons have different wings or unique flying ability.

Pigeons: Pigeons are for eating. They are bloated, with thick necks and wide backs, wide chests, poor flying ability and delicious meat. They can be divided into short-sized pigeons and long-sized pigeons.

First of all, domestic pigeons

1. Domestic pigeons can be subdivided into carrier pigeons, meat pigeons and ornamental pigeons according to their uses, which belong to the inclusive relationship.

2. Carrier pigeons have strong homing ability, and the flight speed can reach 70kn/h, which can be used to transmit information.

3. Pigeons are large and bloated, weighing about 0.8- 1.5kg, with strong reproductive ability and delicious meat.

4. Ornamental pigeons have different wings or unique flying power. Famous ornamental pigeons include ball-breasted pigeons (the throat and chest can be expanded into a ball shape), fan-tailed pigeons (the tail is vertically expanded into a fan shape) and head-butted pigeons (which can somersault in the air).

Second, meat pigeons.

1. Meat pigeons refer to pigeons specially raised for food.

2. The flying ability of meat pigeons is far less than that of homing pigeons, and they are bloated, with thick neck and wide back, muscular chest, high meat yield and good meat quality, and their weight can reach about 0.8-0.9kg, even exceeding 1kg.

Pigeons can be divided into small ones and large ones. The short type is about 1 times the chest width (for example, American King Pigeon and Mundan Pigeon), and the long type is about 1-2 times the chest width (for example, lovers pigeon and Shi Qi pigeon).
