Not a Trumpeter as it has no nose frills, looks like a Capuchin but it has feathered feet.... humm I'm not up to date on all the breeds... but nice pigeon.

Looks like a Saint to me. Crest similar to a Capuchine with a foot muff.

But I'm not sure. Hm, no. On second look, the crest on yours looks more like a trumpeter or tumbler. There are TONS of tumblers. Maybe poke around and see if anyone is very familiar with them?

Lucky you, what a beautiful bird. I have one single solitary (rescue) pigeon living with my chickens. I keep wishing I could find him/her a friend. I feel sorry for him/her (think it's a her) all by herself.

Anybody want to place a pet pigeon into a home as a friend for Pige? She doesn't need a mate, just a friend.

eta: She doesn't fly well, her wing was broken in a CareFlight take off incident here at work. I took her home, wrapped her wing and caged her a while. She can fly some, but not well enough to leave. She is allowed to fly randomly here at home as I made a sort of trap for her in the chicken coop. I just think she would enjoy not being the only pigeon here. She's a surprisingly smart bird. If I tell her I think I see hawks, she puts herself back in the coop. She's cute.
