Must-Know Before Investing in Pigeon Racing: 5 Deadly Mistakes Beginners Make and How to Avoid Them

Entering the world of pigeon racing, many beginners dream of making a fortune. The Taiwanese pigeon racing market, with its annual business volume exceeding 70 billion New Taiwan Dollars, is indeed tempting, but behind the potential high returns lie equally high risks. Every year, countless novices suffer significant losses by falling into the same traps.

Mistake 1: Blindly Believing in Famous Bloodlines and Expensive Champion Pigeons

Many newcomers believe that buying champion pigeons or offspring from famous families guarantees future victories. This is a costly myth. There's an old saying in the pigeon world: "A good pigeon doesn't necessarily come from a famous family, and a famous family doesn't only produce good pigeons."

Avoidance Guide: Instead of chasing fame, first research "local suitability." Taiwan's unique offshore multi-stage racing system places extremely high demands on a pigeon's navigation ability, physical recovery speed, and weather resistance. Beginners are advised to deeply understand the characteristics of local races and seek bloodlines with stable performance in similar systems.
