MeanCheek's Flock

[MeanCheek]

Wow, those colors! What kind of pigeon is this? (I really know noting about pigeons )

The breed is a Birmingham Roller (but not very good quality), and I think the color is Light Tortoiseshell or maybe dilute Tortoiseshell.
I can never understand pigeon colors or coturnix colors.
Her and her sister look so similar, I'll get pictures!

Arabian Trumpeter cockerel (sorry about the ugly chicken wire, I'm gradually replacing it)

A hawk just tried for the pigeons. Luckily it was a big Buteo, a Red-tailed I think, not small and maneuverable enough to get a them once they have seen it.
When the pigeons see a hawk, they fly twice as high as usual and go amazingly fast.

A couple of her sisters, but not the one from the same brood. Two different ones, the ugly faces are because of molting

Well, you're well beyond my understanding anyway! I didn't even know tortoiseshell was a color in pigeons! They're lovely!

Glad your pigeons were able to avoid the hawk, too! Buteo hawks generally aren't great at hunting prey on the wing like most Accipiter hawks are, so luckily the pigeons had the advantage in that case.

My least favorite current bird, and I think least favorite chook yet.

It rained all day yesterday. The Cochin roo was even uglier than usual

Today was a pretty fall day

The little Spitz are good. I think they are the healthiest chick's I've had other than from my birds.

This Spitz hen isn't the best color, but she has a nice, tight, pretty crest
