    131. Building the Future of Pigeon Racing with Youth 4-H Programs with Mike Netzky

    How do you introduce a new generation to pigeon racing? In this episode of the All About Pigeons podcast, Phillip Fry sits down with Mike Netzky to talk about how he built a youth pigeon racing program through 4-H in northern Michigan. What started as a childhood fascination with pigeons eventually turned into a club with more than fifty young participants learning how to care for, train, and race homing pigeons. Mike explains how he launched the program from scratch, how loaner lofts and starter birds help families get involved, and why making the hobby accessible to kids and parents is the key to growing the sport. He also shares stories about youth races, traveling pigeon lofts, county fairs, and creative ways the club raises money while teaching people about messenger pigeons. This conversation is packed with practical ideas for anyone interested in introducing youth to pigeons, starting a club, or promoting the hobby in their community. https://americanracingpigeonunion.blogspot.com/2018/04/more-than-just-birds.html https://petoskeyarea.com/events/4-h-flying-clovers-homing-pigeons/ https://data.charlevoixlibrary.org/event/rain-location-flying-clovers-4-h-club-12311 www.pigeonpod.com #AllAboutPigeons#PigeonRacing#HomingPigeons#PigeonHobby#4H#YouthInAgriculture#PigeonFanciers#BirdKeeping#PigeonPodcast#RacingPigeons#PigeonCommunity

    130. The Damascene Pigeon: History, Color, and Standards with Cadin Jaessing

    In this episode of All About Pigeons, Phillip sits down with Master Breeder and exhibitor Cadin Jaessing to take a deep dive into the Damascene pigeon. We talk about what drew Cadin to the breed, the possible origins of the Damascene name, and how these birds evolved from flying flocks overseas into a refined show breed. Cadin breaks down accepted colors and patterns, common faults, and how the Damascene is judged in the showroom, along with practical loft management, breeding, molt changes, and health routines. We also discuss his work to help build a national club and what it will take to grow the breed in the United States. https://www.rarebreedspigeonclub.com/index.html https://www.facebook.com/cadin.jaessing www.pigeonpod.com #AllAboutPigeons #DamascenePigeon #Damascene #FancyPigeons #PigeonPodcast #PigeonBreeding #PigeonShow #NPA #RareBreedsClub #Aviculture #PigeonStandards #PigeonLoft #BirdBreeding #PigeonCommunity

    129. Racing Pigeon Club Revival with Janet Dame

    Racing pigeon clubs across the U.S. are shrinking, but they don’t have to disappear. In this episode, Phillip talks with Janet Dame of the Columbus Racing Pigeon Club (Columbus, Georgia) about what’s driving the decline (aging membership, cost, public misconceptions, tech distractions, HOAs) and what can actually help bring clubs back. We also dig into practical, sometimes controversial topics: why “routine antibiotics” can backfire, why quarantine matters (especially for one loft race birds), and how factors like solar activity / KP index can impact training toss losses. Janet shares real world outreach ideas that work: schools, libraries, local news, and simple ways any member can help educate the public and attract new racers.

    128. A New Pigeon Magazine is Coming: Meet Emily Isom of "The COO"

    A new pigeon magazine is on the way, and it is being created by fanciers for fanciers. In this episode of the All About Pigeons podcast, I sit down with Emily Isom, the creator of The Coo Magazine, a new print publication focused on reconnecting the pigeon community, preserving knowledge, and making the hobby more visible to people outside the traditional pigeon world. Emily shares her lifelong background with pigeons, what inspired her to bring a magazine back to the hobby, and how The Coo aims to bridge the gap between long-time breeders and complete beginners. We talk about what readers can expect inside the magazine, including articles on breeds, genetics, loft stories, specialty clubs, and personal experiences from fanciers around the world. Emily also explains why she chose to focus on a collectible print format, how subscriptions and advertising will work, and how fanciers can submit articles or get their lofts featured. If you miss the classic pigeon journals or want to support a fresh, community driven way of promoting the hobby, this episode is for you.
