Pigeon Talk

[biophiliac]

you are welcome! It was a very nice show.

you are welcome!

just give them a year or two when those ceres grow bigger! idk, I just like a breed, that has some fancy to it, but can still fly well. German beauty homers aren't one of those!

I'm attracted to the Figuritas.

I'm attracted to the Figuritas.

Yeah, i was close to getting some. But one thing, SPACE! Do you want contact info? they are decent loft flyers I've heard...

I hope you enjoyed being at the show!! I appreciate all the photos. I’m slowly learning that there’s some really nice looking pigeon breeds out there I had no idea about

Alright, this may take awhile... I’m posting breeds. I got most breeds, but missed a few

Why they are so ugly they are almost cute!
I LOVE the looks of so many of these breeds.. It seems I have started a “this is a nice looking pigeon breed” mental list at the end of all this

@backyard pigeons Figuritas are decent loft flyers they kinda chill out but the few times mine slipped out whith my homers they kept up fine my hen died to a rat in the night while incubating, not a hawk incident for once

Ok kinda unrelated to current topic but what size cages do you guys use for breeders/house birds? Wallace has a 3wx3lx6t cage in our tv room and a 2wx4lx2t cage in my room personally I think the 2x4 could be a good breeder cage as Wallace seems to prefer it over his tall cage as well but is that really enough space? What do you guys use for breeding fancies?

@ChickenTenderKesha if you find one let Me know ehat you get it for! I used 2 for my loft, 1 initially and then tje 2nd for replacement parts after a 60ft tree fell directly on top... They were around 250 initially but as of this year all ive seen are 350 and up in my area !

Looks like you had a good day @backyard pigeons! The show was well attended. You took some really nice pictures and did well to remember all the breeds! I like your t shirt! Is your NPA the same as the one in UK? We have our national show at the beginning of December not far from me.

I don't have any house birds but the nest boxes in the loft are about 12"x12"x18".
