"Dogfighting and cockfighting are illegal – we must take the next step and end pigeon racing..." I think we have 'bigger fish to fry'.

Also, what are your thought on breeding breeds like Pouters/Croppers with especially large globes, Owls with short beaks, or fantails that hold their heads so far back? Is it ethical to breed for characteristics that make life more difficult for them?

Do you guys think racing is cruel? I didn't know it was so hated by some people.

What is the friendliest breed that is still active and likes to fly?

Why do they like pigeons so much? I've only seen one go after them when they were out once. It was when I only had about a dozen, they were all on the ground hunting pine nuts, and a Coopers quickly flew through, all the pigeons took off and flew the highest I've seen them go, circling around.

They draw in so many raptors, I rarely had hawks before I had pigeons. Even when the other birds are out, a hawk will try to break into the pigeons instead of taking the duck thats sitting there watching. This early spring a Goshawk tried. He was beautiful. Big red eyes, bright yellow shanks...

Sorry it's so dirty

I had a Birmingham Roller x Brunner Pouter squab hatch, I wonder what that will look like?

Wow, she's much prettier than my Brunner Pouters!

Oh, where from? :)

Does anyone have experience with shipped pigeons?

This is one of my favorite pairs and their new squab. Here is the cock and squab. Sorry the nest is dirty, you know how messy pigeons are.

I like keeping breeds pure too, and it's a good thing because if I didn't, I'd probably have two times the birds I have now. :D At least with pigeons once they're paired you have a good chance of getting pure squabs. Maybe I could put more pigeons with my pheasant...

So pretty! They look very regal :) If I didn't have so many Rollers, I'd get some of your Frills, more German Owls, and Indian Fantails.

They're such cute birds. Do they have feather feet or are they clean leg? They look a lot like Satinettes.

@WVduckchick you have Classic Frills right?

My first were Birmingham Rollers, they are friendly and very fun to watch roll.

And this is an Almond, right?

Is this a red checker?
