???zitterhals???

[BAMABIRDS]

I have had my hands on all sorts of pigeons throughout the years but never any of these until today. I was lucky enough to buy four pair. Does anyone know the rarity of these little fellows, not much information about them on the web. Anyone know value?? Like I said pretty much any other pigeon I would know, but these are the first I've ever seen here in Alabama.

Zitterhalls are pretty rare I think. I've never seen any in person. Mookees seem to be the more popular zitter necked breed in the US.

I had never seen any before either. That's why I bought them. I gave $100 for the four pair. The woman I got them from didn't have a clue what they were. She had bought them to re sell.
