In this breed-specific episode of the All About Pigeons Podcast, we explore the remarkable Seraphim pigeon with special guest David Coster.

David shares the fascinating origin of the breed, developed by artist and breeder Anne (Anya) Ellis, and explains the unique genetics that cause Seraphim pigeons to molt from patterned juvenile colors into stunning pure white adults. We dive into the history, genetics, structure, and selective breeding that shaped this rare modern breed.

This episode also covers breeding challenges, raising young, common faults, show standards, and why Seraphim are best suited for experienced pigeon fanciers. If you’re interested in rare breeds, pigeon genetics, or the artistry behind selective breeding, this is a must-listen.

In this episode, we’re joined by Tim Farr, a longtime racing pigeon fancier and the author of a thought-provoking article published in the Racing Pigeon Digest on hand scanning in one loft races. Tim brings decades of experience, from racing as a junior in Southern California to competing in Washington State. He offers a grounded, no-nonsense perspective on where one loft racing is headed and what standards should matter most.

We dive deep into:

• What hand scanning really means and why it matters

• Key differences between local club racing vs. one loft races

• How chip failures, lack of handling, and mass loading can impact results

• The importance of fairness, transparency, and humane bird management

• Critical questions breeders should ask before sending birds to a one loft race

• Molt management, intake windows, training practices, and race integrity

• How clubs can grow membership using social media and grassroots promotion

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone currently sending birds, or considering sending birds, to one loft races. Tim’s insights challenge assumptions, raise awareness, and encourage higher standards across the sport.

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just getting started, this episode will help you make more informed decisions and advocate for better racing practices.

In this episode of All About Pigeons, we sit down with Dan Galarza, the judge of the 2025 World Cup, to talk all things Birmingham Rollers, international competition, and what it’s really like judging pigeons on a global stage.

Dan shares firsthand stories from his two-and-a-half-month journey judging World Cup finalists across the United States, Europe, Africa, and Australia, including Bulgaria, Romania, England, Ireland, Serbia, South Africa, and Australia. We dive into how judging works under tight travel schedules, how weather can make or break a fly, and what judges look for when birds are performing under pressure.

We also discuss:

• Which countries had the largest World Cup participation

• Differences in loft styles overseas vs. the U.S. (including English-style lofts)

• Bloodlines and families seen around the world

• What set the 2025 World Cup-winning fly in South Africa apart

• How wind, terrain, and viewing angles affect scoring

If you’re interested in competitive flying, judging, or the global Birmingham Roller community, this episode offers rare insight straight from the judge himself.
