    Pigeons

    Someone had some white doves for sale round here for £8 each, but i heard that doves homing instinct wasn't great and aren't as hardy as pigeons. They are now sold. I've heard that king pigeons and runts and such are the best for meat but no one around here raises them for meat although lots of...
