124. Judging the 2025 World Cup Fly with Dan Galarza

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.
