Pigeon Talk

Lol, it's a good thing I did get them then They're pretty. The female has some white, but that's pretty typical, and apparently the secret to a good green sheen is that the females have occasional white feathers. If you want to show them, you just pluck the feathers the day of the show.

Duh.. you already said you did. Im sorry.. my brain is tired...
Any pics of the newbies yet?

Not yet. We beat the big storm back, but just barely. It had already started coming down when we got home. So for right now they are stuck in a crate in the garage, lol.

So ADORABLE!! I wish my kids were so enthusiastic about my pigeons. Nice video, they have a fantastic loft, alot of hard work has gone into it.

I love how he shows off 'the stools where they sit' ! Those perches are nice.

I'm back from the show! Which was also a pigeon show, actually, which I did not know going there, lol. Not a lot of pigeons for sale, though.

As promised, pictures Click them if you want to see bigger.

First the pigeons, this being a pigeon thread.

There was a frillback, which made me happy.

Ah wow! I'm glad we don't have any shows too near me or I'd be completely overrun! I have no will power! Cant wait to see some pics!

@Pyxis thanks for sharing the show pics! Beautiful birds.

I’d love to go to a pigeon-only show, but I think I would also have limited restraint.

I happened across one of my little mug/candle warmers and I wondered if anyone has ever tried them for pigeon waterers in the winter? I probably wouldn’t use them for chickens (and definitely not for ducks!) but since pigeons are a little more neat drinkers, I think these could work. I tried it with a test plastic bowl, which I froze water in first, and it kept the water fluid, and didn’t melt the bowl. Attached to a thermo-cube plug-in, I think it might work fine.
Anyone see an issue with it?
