Is it better to send older youngsters or squeakers to Sun City?
This is probably the most asked question. I asked the exact same question to the Sun City Director Zandy Meyer. Zandy told me they have not been able to find a correlation with age and results. Zandy told me if they receive 30% older youngsters, they find 30% of the pigeons in the prizes in the final race will be the sent over older youngsters. If 25% are sent over as sqeakers, 25% in the prizes of the final race will be those sent as squeakers. If 20% were loft flown or trained, the final prizes will have the exact same percentage of these pigeons. Zandy said if he knew a secret he would tell the world so many more pigeons could compete in the final race. What I do know is the greatest two pigeons ever to race in Sun City were ‘Color of Water’ which I sent over as a squeaker in June and ‘Birdy’ which was born on April 11th.
