Why do you want to trim their feathers... I presume because you want to try to breed them right?

Simply give them a 'hair' cut. You only need to trim the feathers short on their hoods (so they can see clearly to feed their babies). Also its good to trim the feather short around their bottoms... so they can breed more easily without long fluffy feathers getting in the way, so to speak.

The end look of the feather trimming should result in your birds looking like the Old Dutch Capuchin Pigeons......you can start a new job as a pigeon hair dresser.

Haha thanks

Well they have made their nest and have bred... cant wait to see how this first trial comes out.

Most let jacs breed n lay but give eggs to foster homers or rollers. Once you mess with their feathers they never seem to grow back as well.
