if i hadnt have googled the name id have put my wages on it being a dragon

whe i first started with pigeons the first pigeons we got where madenas, starnge looking birds with their heads leaning backwards, and a big chest..........

my young lad wanted norwich croppers,but one of the guys at our club advised him against croppers/poulters...says they arent for beginners,as they can suffer easily from sour crop,and need to be fed on their own all the time.
Modenas are great birds,i have 3 prs of them.

if i remember correctly our madinas were mainly reddy brown coloured, and were very quiet calm birds.......

am i right in thinking thats one in your avatar , hes beautiful

yes...it is a bronze tri gazzi modena,i prefare the gazzi to the schetti.
some of the colours you can get in them are stunning..over 150 to choose from...lol

hi b/lady, do you let your birds out to exercise or do you keep them inside.....? are they homed ?

lovely bird by the way

atm none of my birds are allowed out...had some illness brought in by the pr of nuns that i got,but hopefully birds on the up.
but prior to that i only had the fantails and muff rollers out,the modenas just get out into the avairy,to many hawks around here,and the modenas arent the most nimble of birds..lol
but maybe once they are back on par,i will let them out for a fly about.

lovely bird that one in your avatar frances and i hope the birds make a full recovery ....as for size how big are the modenas compaired to pigeons

the ones i have are closer in size to a chicken,than a racing pigeon..lmao
honestly...need to hands to hold them..lol

i wonder what you would get if you crossed one of these croppers with a modena, a strange looking bird i would emagine........

a cropper x modena

you will see plenty of brunner pigeons at blackpool this year maybe some for sale too.like most fancy breeds what you must do is get a stock from different people,that way you can make your own family and you will then know how inbred they are.ihave my horseman,norwich croppers from different people and only using 3 or 4 pairs to breed from.too much inbreeding will cause defects in the birds but hey all fancy pigeons are genetically defected anyway lol.

very strange looking birds the croppers..............

stranger looking pigeons than pouters.try trumpeters.

what about Stargard Shaker strange breed
bit like marmite if you ask me

but lot of breeds are like marmite
