Pigeon Talk

They look like different breeds? What is Alice? She is very pretty.

Unless I misunderstood, she is a Port Tumbler.. @backyard pigeons , is that correct?

Ralph and Alice are sizing up the nest bowl.. Still have to finish putting the shelf and a divider for the nesting area and get the roosts installed, but dh has to work thru Tue night so it'll be Wed before we can finish it..
I hope this a good sign that they are settling in here..

yep! I think they are settling in.

yes, they are different breeds. Alice is a roller, and the other two are racing homers bred for show.

Oh good! I was hoping you would say that!

Well, I got her breed wrong..

I think you misunderstood! She is actually a Birmingham roller. But I'll be sure to let you know when I get a few extra ports!

Well I just got the call I've been waiting for....the stray I released on Saturday finally made it home some time today albeit a little late! He was grateful for me looking after her and letting her rest. He reckons there may be a chance she may stop over again as she knows where to get a quick bite to eat! I'm gonna start charging rent for these pidgies treating me like a B&B
I have also found a breeder for the archangels. Unfortunately he is in Bristol which is the other side of the country. I know England is small but I still don't fancy a 200 mile drive each way to pick them up! He wants £80 for a cock and a hen, these are show quality with all the vaccinations and paperwork. And it's only £40 to get them shipped to me! I couldn't drive it for that! He is going to hold them for me which is great.
We are going to the auction with the bunnies tomorrow so I'll get an idea of the exact space I've got to work with. I'm still trying to decide the best layout for it.

Racers are learning their surrounding for View attachment 1852776 a loft fly on saturday!

How old are these? You probably said but I must have missed it Are you just going to release them? I read some where about releasing you birds not born to your loft that if you get a bucket of warm water and hold them so there wings are apart and swill them back and forth for 16 times and let them on the landing board. They won't fly off as they are wet and will explore there surroundings more. You can also add borax to the water for a little mite treatment!
