Opinion on King Pigeons

[Quacking Pigeon]

So I’ve been thinking about getting some more king pigeons. I know they are a friendly skittish breed, but do they have health problems. My original female pigeon is a red king, but she isn’t as large as the standard breed and can fly exceptionally well with her small wings, although she prefers running.

I never had any King pigeons, but my understanding, is that most peeps that raise them, intend to eat them. I am pretty sure your intentions are different.
Get a pair and see how you like them. Around my area, it seems that White is the most common/popular King Pigeons that I seen for sale.
I would not be too worried way in advance about their possible health concerns. You are not forking over a suitcase of cash and wanted to make sure your investment will live.
Like with all living things, there is no guarantee.
With people,,,,,,,, only guarantee is dying,,,,,,, and paying taxes.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, as always,,,

I had King pigeons they can fly well enough to avoid most predators and I had good luck with them. I never served them at my table they were pets. To be honest I prefer racing or homing pigeons.

I just want to keep them as pets like all my pigeons. The ones that are around for sale are: whites, blue checkered, recessive red and a few other colours. As always I will always go look at the pics and make sure the birds are in good condition and none have pox or any other illness.

I think they make very handsome pets!
