Yep, fancy breeds are bred for showing. Some are okay fliers, but most are just to be kept in. They make great pets though!

Also, Silkiechick, I remember you from Pigeon-Talk!

When I saw the pictures I was like "OHHHH It's the one with Topaz and the other rock-ish named birds!" then I saw the captions

I love them. I was talking to hubby last night about possibly getting some pigeons. My grandfather had homing and fantail pigeons, and I reeeaaaaallllyyy want some.

You should!

They're a lot of fun.

I would need to find someone local with them. I think I would prefer one of the 2 breeds my gp had. I remember watching them fly around the property. I have a brooder in the coop I could keep them in for the month or so to get the adjusted to "home".

I've got a buddy I found 2 pairs for. I'd never seen them before untill they got here. They are pretty. He actually has babies from them also and just got them this spring...

my other pair finally laid second set of eggs. first ones were duds i'm

these ones r fertile and make it if so will be their first babies. the parents r recessive reds i believe is what color they r called. i haven't candled yet i'm affraid too so i will wait a few more days before i check so i know they should show for definate or not.

I have had my fantails for a year now and they will come toward me because they think or know I have food and I stand and talk too them but if I reach in the coop they go crazy. How do I get them tame enough so that I can hold them and pet them. Is there a certain way that I need too try and catch and hold them so as not too mess up their wings or tail feathers?
