Looking for show pigeons:)

[ket806]

Hello!!

Ok I am a newbie to the pigeons! I currently do not own any but would like to get some to show!! I hear the pigeon world is very friendly!!
I would love to get these breeds:
Capuchine
Frillback
Fantail
Jacobin
Swallow
Lahore
Russian tumbler
Hungarian giant

Pretty much I want the "fancy/exotic" looking birds!! I just want a few to start with, but my questions are.....
How do I get started?
What does it entail?
How do I get show quality birds?
Are live birds/started birds shipped?when/where are shows and how do I enter?

I am in the panhandle of Texas and I'm very excited to start

There are some great breeders in Texas , I'd suggest you decide on a breed or two and then contact local breeders. You will find that most are very helpful if they find you to be serious about the hobby. The national show is in Oklahoma this year, you should go to the nap site and check it out

The main ones I am interested in starting out with are frillback, jacobin, and fantail!! How do I find breeders in my area?

That may not be too far from me I would love to come!!! Do you have a direct link for the details to the show?

I found a pair of trumpeters, a pair of fantails, and got a few west of Englands.

I am still looking for jacobins, frillback, and more fantails!!

Sorry for the confusion I am the same person lol! I had to make a new account I couldn't figure out how to log into my old one!!!
