UK pigeon owners

[CCUK]

Do they have crests?
These are some pics of one of my Serbian Highflyers (I have 8 Serbian Highflyers in total). Also don’t mind the homer in the second picture.

In all honesty I'm not sure. There must be 50-60 pigeons flying about. All sorts of colours. There is some really nice brown ones. You have some nice birds there. Do you know what the really dark grey almost black ones could be?

Just realised if they are young birds it will take them a while to get a normal sized crest. I got a young Serbian highflyer and it doesn’t have as big of a crest as the adults.

Also I have a bird which is a dark grey colour but it’s a cross. Also it has a bit of brown on its wings. I’ll see if I have a picture.

I don't have any pictures but they are really dark grey almost black. Could they be Serbian high flyers?

Unless they look remotely different from the normal homer could you just be seeing Tcheck coloration(may not be correct term either lol I'm new also)? Or what I like to call feral color since 70% of my cities flock looks like this whith a few bars, and checkers along whith some stray flying flight mixed in lol.
Quite solidly blackish gray say hi to FJ my #1 boy

Oh! FJ ... nice to see you again.

It does sound like a T check in blue(the typical grey which is really black vs red or brown. haha). Usually the color or pattern is not a factor in determining if its a homer, high flyer or roller as most breeds of pigeons can throw all colors and patterns.

Ok so super unrelated lol, but today I experimented and recycled some old crates to turn into nifty outside nest boxes for the birds to chill out and hide in the aviary, plus trying to convince FJ & Coffee to move out of their cat bed... I think they like them
