Origin: Introduced to the United States by Sam Shadeed, of Jacksonville, North Carolina, in 1954 from Damascus, Syria. Its Syrian name Gergati is an Egyptian name, raising the inference that the breed was imported from Egypt to Syria.
Description: A flying breed in Syria. The Syrian Swift has the same general apperance of the Egyptian except that the Syrian Swift is somewhat smaller and tighter of feather.
Size: Average weight: Cocks 18 ounces Hens 17.5 ounces
Ornaments: It is plain-headed and clean-legged. It has no ornaments.
Colors: Black, blue, red, red checkered, dun and indigo.
Comments: The breed is now being raised by a few breeders in the United States.
Seven steps must follows for Pigeon growing:
The requirements for pigeon breeding are simple, but they must be followed to be successful. There should be no relaxing or neglect at any time, for it is much easier to prevent trouble than to eliminate disease, parasites or vermin once these have occurred. A dry house with the inside protected from rain or snow.
1. Separate houses for mated pairs and odd birds.
2. A flypen, if the breed requires one that dries out easily.
3. A suitable feed ration protected from contamination.
4. A suitable mineral ration protected from contamination.
5. Water suitable for human consumption protected from contamination.
6. Suitable nesting materials.
If any one of the seven is neglected, trouble of some sort will eventually occur.
