Yes on all counts.



Proven to be true.

Thanks my friend, except I should have cited Adam Archer not Alan. Haha

@backyard pigeons ,,,, Do you suspect I have a criminal mind even though there is no monetary gain in it for me

No, I don't think you have a criminal mind. I think you have a crafty one. Your post prove it time and time again. But, you do seem to know about a lot of ways to cheat.

My way of thinking... If it was a USA bird, and for some reason decided to fly to Australia, despite the fact that it made an impressive flight, that's a pretty darn bad homing pigeon to have gone THAT far out of the way on a flight... Bad racing pigeons have been killed for less...

It wasn't even a homing pigeon though. So IF its a USA bird, it caught a ride on a ship or someone brought it over. But it isn't a lost racer despite what the news says.

I understand them killing it. I dont like it, but they are invasive and it could bring new strains of diseases to Australian birds. But I was just amazed at how clueless the media is about this. Haha

Yeah, I don't understand the outrage though. Either it didn't do something impressive and it's just another "sky rat" as most people think of them, or it did something so impressively stupid that it probably should be killed before it contributes to the gene pool.

What outrage? News media isnt outraged, and neither are fanciers from what i can tell.

I've seen quite a bit of outrage on FB about it. But you're right, people that know what they are looking at aren't overly bothered

My ash red pigeons hatched their eggs but shockingly I got a blue bar which I was told is a female. Now I see some brown coloring in her bars

Is she still considered a blue bar or ash red
