Summary:Specialty literature is presenting few data about the estimation of the phenotypic correlations at voyager pigeon. The present study is aiming to present a classic and simple method, accessible to any pigeon ameliorator. The method was used to estimate the phenotypic correlation between the length of the stern and the arrival time in an 18 individuals GROSSE-FOND pigeon stock Jan Aarden breed for a distance of 976 Km. The analyze demonstrate that at the effective studied there is a positive correlation between the two studied characters, the correlation value is was 0,885, reason for which we recommend that the breeders of Jan Aarden stock from this breed should take into the consideration the correlation when performing selection in order to obtain a greater selection effect.
