He introduced a dozen homing pigeons from abroad, and after more than a month's sea transportation, the homing pigeons arrived in Li Meiling's hands intact. After his breeding, his homing pigeons defeated the situation that foreigners dominated the world of Shanghai homing pigeons. After that, a strain of pigeon, Li Bird, was bred, which is characterized by short neck, short legs, dark color, rust color on the inside or outside of wings, strong endurance, high speed, good orientation, genetic stability, good flight in bad weather and long-distance and ultra-long-distance flight.
