Ah. I've had all of those except modenas. I ALMOST had some, but I took the Lahores and a pair of Nuns instead.

Pretty, pretty, pretty

All the Ice Pigeons I've seen have had bull eyes. I didnt think they were associated with the muffs.
Also, I see you have some indigo colored birds! Those are probably some of my favorites

I have about 8 Rollers, some from Turner bloodlines. And a pair of bronze Tipplers.

I have raised pigeons all my life. They are so much fun. I have about 60 rollers,15 parlor rollers and fifteen arabian trumpters. The trumpters are really unique with their different voice.And their special colors are just outstanding. I don't competion fly my rollers but do fly them so I know they are good performers. My favorit colors are the yellows and anything mottled.

I used to breed and show pigeons. I had several breeds but specialized in Ice pigeons. At one point I had a flock of about 80. I have none now but still look at them at the shows. I will have to say in all my years I have never seen a pink pigeon. Well I have seen a few dyed white fans. And I once had a pair of Birmingham rollers imported in from germany that had albino babies on a regular basis with the red checkers being dilluted to a pink cast. Anyways I would love to see some pics of pink pigeons if you dont mind shareing.

Haha, we dont have those here in the US. I would trade for some of those in a heart beat. I am trying to breed my flying pouters to have the largest hanging crops possible. Not an easy task. It seems there is a balance between crop size and wanting to fly.
