COLOMBICULTURA
It is an ecological sport involving “rasa” and “pica” pigeons, admired and rated for their beauty, flight and persistence in courting the female skill.
In our region the practice of Pica sports pigeon breeding consists of training males to use their seduction and intelligence skills to attract a female called “suelta" (loose) which is identified by a white feather in the tail, that is, a struggle of the males for the possession of a female.
To get a quality chick lots of trials and breed crosses between different families must be made, ensuring good food hygiene and thereby preventing disease, in order to achieve the best physical and athletic condition.
The pigeon training begins at 3 months of life, with the appearance of the first signs of maturity; the young specimen gets encaged with a “suelta" female with a white feather in the tail that will end up representing a sex symbol for the male. It is advisable to release the pigeon with the female for a few days, set them free temporarily.
Afterwards, the pigeon will be enclosed along with other males and a female in order to learn to fight for it.
