Loft Survey This term refers to the distance between the race station or liberation point or starting point and the loft or home. The survey enables the pigeon flier to note of the distance flown as based on the time consumed by the bird to fly and then convert it into speed or yards per minute. There are now special commercial companies that a flier can contact to furnish this kind of service. They belong to the same family with the doves, which are also deemed to symbolize peace. Majority of the species are found in the eco-zones of Australasia and Indo-Malaya. Pigeons Characterized The pigeons are endowed with stout bodies, short necks, fleshy cere, and slender bills. These birds make their nests with debris and sticks that are often perched on top of the trees, on buildings, or on the ground depending on their kind of habitat. Young ones can fly at a distance of 300-350 miles while yearlings can fly up to 500 miles. These progenies are able to benefit from the genes of their parents whose long flights have helped them develop their intelligence as long distance flyers. The ability to stay in flight for long hours has provided them opportunities in developing their decision-making skills in times of fatigue.
