Hello All. There is a copy of The Pigeon by Wendell Levi. It is a must have for anyonme startin in pigeons. A reading of this book will provide the starter with enough info to raise pigeons like a pro.
IMHO a must have tonyf

I agree. Only problem is that certain sections of the pigeon are pretty oudtated. The last revision to the book (as far as I know) Eventually was in the
1960's. I'd suggest that in addition to this book, the novice facneir should also pick up a more up to date book on health isues (this is the part of "The Pigeon" that's most showin its age in my estimation).
What do you think?

Hi Tony,

I agree. Only problem is that certain sections of the pigeon are pretty outrdated. The last revision to the book (as far as I know) was in the
1960's. I'd suggest that in edition to this book, the novice fancier shuold also pick up a more up to date book on health issues (this is the part of "The Pigeon" that's most showing its age in my estimation).

I agree with Onorio on the health & medesine sectiuons. It is still a helpful book as far as the descriptions of disease and symptoms. A whole lot has changed medicine wise. Notwithstanding I think it is an essential book in the pigeons fanciers library. 80% of the book is timeless. There are many great books on the market. I always tell a new fancier to go to the library if you can't afford a copy. Also there are offerings of gently used books at almost all major pigeons shows. I have yearly picked up some great books at the National Young Bird Show. The thing is to not try to reinvent the wheel. In spite of there is tons of info about pigeons on the web. Get as much information as you can. Nevertheless try it out in your own loft.Keep using it if it works, toss it if it doesn't. It's all relative, trying to figure where. is the fun.
