Pigeon Adventures

[EEforMe]

Here is the best pic I have of one of the two brown pigeons and one white one I see sometimes

In total there are:
One white pigeon
Two brown pigeons
Two black and white patchy pigeons
One white pigeon with a white tail
The quantities of them are only what I’ve seen together, there might be more of each color but idk

Cool!
The brown one looks like a red t-check. I believe the white and partly white ones are pied and/or grizzled.

My rescued fantail mix. I wonder why her former owner didn’t put a leg band on her.

That’s a pied blue t-check.

That’s a pied blue t-check.

Ok, thanks! You know so much about pigeons!

Oh yeah, I tried to make it a picture of a chicken but the profile picture kept covering up the face. XD

Not quite how Neet Neet does it

ah XD

when you’re around at least LMAO /j

Been recently eyeing my neighbors roof pigeons they’ve been there for a couple years, just straight chilling and soaking in the rays alhdkahsjs.

I live in a suburban neighborhood and they like making their nests underneath the solar panels except for my house.

Since seeing Roo’s pigeons I really want to see ones similar to theirs but the ones we’ve got are just the typical grey ones then again I can’t differentiate what specific grey ones are out there because they all look the same to me.

Most of the pigeons I see are the typical gray ones (I’ve only actually saw a red one once and that was years ago). XD That pied one I posted is one of the two heavily pieds I've seen, most of the other pied pigeons around here have just a few white feathers.
In big cities, though, there’s so much genetic variation, which means you get all kinds of colors and traits in the ferals.

Also, I will gladly teach you how to differentiate specific gray ones. Here are the three most common patterns:

Blue bar

Blue check/checker (this is what my fantail mix and Rubber Band are)

Blue t-check

Here are some of the less common colors (more common in domestic pigeons than ferals):

Pied, which can vary from a single white feather to completely white (this one is a pied blue check).

Bronzing, which shows up as brown coloring on a gray/blue pigeon (this is a pied blue t-check with bronzing).

(Pied) blue barless- lacks a dark gray bar on the wings.

An (ash) red bar (not my picture). There are also red checks, red t-checks, brown bars, brown checks, and brown t-checks.

Brown bar (not my picture).

Spread, something that is basically the color of the tail band spread across the entire pigeon. There are brown spreads, blue spreads, and (ash) red spreads.
Blue spread (black without gray):

Ash red spread (you can also see little Neet in this picture):

Neet Neet is a grizzled recessive red. Recessive red makes a pigeon completely red and grizzling adds the white feathers (grizzling is more like speckles while pied is more like patches).

The same feral from a couple posts ago, who is a pied blue t-check with bronzing.
