Dont know where you could find any, sorry. But, I do know that I regretted ever getting them. The parlor rollers are the most inbred pathetic pigeons ever. I am glad I got them, as if I didn't I would still be wanting to try the breed. it was a good day when I got them, a better day when I sold...

Good job trying. I'm sorry it didn't work out. @cavemanrich gave you solid advice.

It sure is. That's why I didn't write this article until I raised pigeons for over three years, been in contact with numerous pigeon fanciers, and proudly am a member of the National Pigeon Association, American Racing Pigeon Union, and the Portuguese Tumbler Club of America. I cannot speak on...

Where are you located? I would simply sell it. The owner obviously doesn't care a bit about it, which is understandable if the birds is a flying breed.

I may have started the conversation with the owner of this: https://nashville.craigslist.org/grd/d/franklin-large-pigeon-coop-animal-kennel/7304984681.html Would never pay 5k for it, but he will end up having to pay someone to haul it away before too long. I may just swoop in at the right time...

I like it! Any guess on gender? Will you breed it to your other feral if it's the opposite sex? Remind me, did you sell your NN's?

Interesting thread. Ill be honest, I haven't read much at all. But, want to know, how did the birds do in the winter? Did you add any heat? Thanks.

I highly doubt it. Young feral pigeons are surprisingly tame despite not having human intervention for generations in many cases. They have to be bold and curious to make it in the city. Btw, great job for capturing him. People often discredit ferals and all their potential as a pet\hobby...

Interesting. My best guess is two hens laid those eggs, while the male who is sitting on eggs with a different hen fertilized. Pigeons aren't as faithful as people make them out to be. Keep us updated, hopefully all 4 babies survive. That's a lot of feeding for 2 birds.

I also have gotten started with some Portuguese Tumblers. They are a show breed. A tiny little bird. About 2\3 the size of my homers, which are small homers. I have shown them. I won 2nd place out of 130 birds in January. I owe it all to this little guy on the far left:

Remind me, what chicken breeds do you have? I got started with chickens last spring, and may be interested in some bantams later summer. we may be able to work some trade out. Racing homers for bantams, or something similar.

Hello! Anyone need any pigeons? I am selling a colorful bunch of birds. These aren't my best blood. They are not for racing, but would be great for pets or tosses under 100 miles. Asking $10 each. https://nashville.craigslist.org/grd/d/columbia-homing-pigeons/7312019012.html

Glad to see you enjoying them @nchls school ! How many do you have now? Do you fly them, or no?

How exciting! You won't regret it. As far as housing, do what you like. Just remember, lots of ventilation, keep it dry, and build it bigger than you might think. Pigeons are addicting. As far as pigeon hatcheries, the only hatchery that sells pigeons is Strombergs, but they are way over...

Like, how can they "hide" in a roller coop? :lol:

Woah now! That is my opinion that Jerry Higgins is up there with them. And to say that because its from them is a good bird is silly. The best breeders still breed bad birds. Don't feel like you need to return it to the owner. You can try, but my guess is they don't want it like...

Jerry higgens is a big time pigeon guy. Up there with James Turner in my opinion. Pretty bird, but definitely not 30 years old!

I am going to ask a stupid question... It is 91, not 19? If so, the fancier banded a bird with an old band. In roller competions, the birds age is irrelevant so there is no accountability as far as correct band year to correct age of birds. If it were a homer, who had a racing career, a correct...

Do you have a photo? Where are you located? The best thing to do is capture the pigeon, at night, with a trap, by hand, with a net, in a garage, etc. And then write down its band info. If the band has AU ARPU 49016 2017 the ARPU stand for American racing pigeon union. This is the website you...

Hey there. I hope you get them flying, but ill be honest... I have never had success getting non-homing pigeon breeds to fly. So i cant help you much, other than keep them healthy, and feed them lightly.
