63 – Purebred PIGEON
the day it was a 14-hour flight. No one can beat that with high
numbers of flown birds. He changed a tradition that has been
damaging Iranian Highflying Pigeons as endurance flyers and
competitions. He showed everyone if we make this decisione
and put our backs into it, it is easy to fly birds for long hours.
Even though he used mixes of Iranian High Flyers with some
other breeds, he brought it to light that, IHF also can fly for
long hours. It is not a show bird like Show Tipplers or perfor-
mance bird like Turkish Tacklas or Birmingham Rollers.
He believes if fanciers change the way they compete, they
will gain long sweet hours.•
