Pigeon Racing: Secrets of Champions
Two years after completing his epic “Share the Blue Sky”, award-winning film producer Jim Jenner is back with a new film for pigeon racers.
Called “Secrets of Champions: The Foundation of Victory”, the new two hour movie is a departure from Jenner’s previous works, which have been general interest documentaries about pigeons and the people who enjoy caring for them throughout the world.
Winners come and go. But a handful of pigeon fanciers magically win for decades. How do these great trainers stay on top in the toughest competition in the world? Ronnie Williamson, Frank Tasker, Ad Schaerlaeckens, Geoff Kirkland and others share their secrets.
This film lets you hear what great trainers think you need to be a good manager. They tell you where and when to buy foundation stock. They share what they look for in breeders and the principles of balance and form. They talk about the vital element of motivation and the incredible secret of “The Throat”.
Using specialized micro-cameras, animated graphics and a highly entertaining documentary style, award-winning film-maker Jim Jenner shows you the inside story of the world’s greatest pigeon racers.

Pigeon Racing: Secrets of Champions II
“I can count myself as lucky for having stumbled across Jim Jenner’s wonderful pigeon documentaries that played no small part in inspiring me as I wrote “PIGEONS: The Fascinating Saga of the World’s Most Revered and Reviled Bird”. Jenner, as a former CBS newsman and lifelong pigeon fancier, brings a unique blend of professional skill, colorful writing, and encyclopedic knowledge to his passionate films on these birds. I’ve learned that within the pigeon world his movies are considered the gold standard. His generous help, and that of his many friends in the hobby, was a rich resource I drew upon many times. If you find my book enjoyable, I can guarantee you will be delighted with the many entertaining and informative stories Jenner has captured around the world about a most wondrous and gentle creature–the humble Rock Dove.” Andrew D. Blechman- Author “PIGEONS: The Fascinating Saga of the World’s Most Revered and Reviled Bird” –Andrew Blechman – Author “Pigeons”
