Very nice birds geordiejen
Ken

wow, those are really nice birds very wiered looking.

they are thief pigeons.origionally bred to catch ferals for the owner to eat.now we use them to catch each others pigeons.

birds look in excellent condition geordiejen,they look big birds, are they.....? im sure our member steve b will like them very much as they are the types of birds he keeps too.....

not my cup of tea either david the ones on my posts belong to my partner
i dont like high maintanace birds
lot of the pouters suffer with crop problems (sour crop mainly)
but like some one already said everyone to there own
cracking birds in great condtion all the same

they can be high maintainance if not checked regularly but you learn to know the signs if they are going down with sour crop.a capfull of cider vinegar to 2 litres of water usually keeps the crop sweet.

[img][/img]this is a hen i bred last year with hand rearing.very tame and when i go into the loft she jumps on my shoulders.
