Pigeon Talk

Here at the show, all finished cooping in. I'm not the only one with pigeons, there are four others aside from mine, but they don't seem to have a color listed and the breed section just says 'flight'. Does anyone know of a breed of pigeons named Flight?

From vids I've seen, this type of flyer is very popular in Brooklyn, NY.
Part of the sport is having your kit/flock recruit some of the other guy's birds and bring them back to your loft. The Thief Pouters do the same but one-on-one, not in a kit.

Good luck in the show @Pyxis ! Do they judge all pigeons breeds together?

Yep, no classes in pigeons that I know of. Well, at a real show they might do fancies, tumblers, homers, etc separate first, but not at this one.

Yep. That's what I thought. I had never seen them before though, they are such pretty birds!


Good luck @Pyxis !!! Thanks for giving us an update!

Thanks for sharing! They are pretty - I think pearl eyes are cool.. The bottom one looks fat - maybe just poor posture...

It won't show well... You need the upright posture for performing show birds. Like this can you guess which one is closer to show quality?
