All About Pigeons

In this episode of All About Pigeons, we explore squabbing, the centuries old practice of raising pigeons for meat. Learn what a squab is, which pigeon breeds have traditionally been raised for food, how breeding pairs and young birds are managed, and why squab was once a common part of American agriculture and fine dining.
We also discuss the history, purpose, and modern reality of utility pigeons while taking an honest and educational look at a part of pigeon keeping that is rarely discussed today.

What separates a group of Birmingham Rollers from a true championship team? In this episode, Rick Mee returns to the show to break down the advanced principles behind breeding, training, feeding, and managing competition rollers. We discuss why teamwork matters more than individual performers, how family breeding influences kit performance, the role of feed and conditioning before competition, and why flying your birds too often can actually hurt their performance. Whether you're just getting started or chasing a World Cup qualification, this episode is packed with practical insights from one of the most respected voices in the roller hobby.
