Each month, the Arizona Pigeon Club would like to focus on one particular breed of pigeon. It is our hope, by providing this feature, that we can improve the quality of our birds and also that we can generate new interest in our hobby. This focus will act as a periodic measuring stick for our birds. Pigeon Show competition is a big part of our hobby. Those of us who want our birds to be the very "best of the best" will continually refer to the standards of our breeds, and will breed our birds to improve their quality. Let's raise the bar of excellence!

This month's focus will be on the Modena. Actually, in preparation for the 6th District Meet of the National Modena Club that will be hosted by the Arizona Pigeon Club, we will be focusing on the Modena for a couple of months. The Modena is one of our hobby's most popular breeds. They are bred in a wide variety of colors. Check out the Modena Standard.
