The right maintenance of pigeons is the basic for success.

The argument for "Silberpfeil" is logical.

What is required from a racing-pigeon during the racing season we would like to record here once more.

Starting with the training races the pigeons cover distances between 60 and 500 miles or even more.  The necessary energy for this amount of work is received out of the carbohydrate, fat and protein resource of the pigeon.  It is possible that in long distance race the pigeon loses up to 20% of its body weight.  As comparison a car weighing 1200kg would need 240 litres of gas in the tank for one weekend.  It's a pity that it is not possible to refill a racing pigeon's tank.  For a human it would be completely impossible to achieve this task.  That would mean: An athlete weighing 100kg loosing 20 kg in competition, and recover the lost weight until the next weekend.

For a pigeon this un-human task is possible to do, but to achieve this it needs our help.  Especially for rebuilding the proteins, because the proteins are the most important part of the muscles and so they are compared with the engine of  car.
