I figured that is what was making them look like that－they appeared more elderly than the others when I first saw them. How long do pigeons usually live?

Your birds are beautiful! I'm curious, though, why do some of the pigeons have puffy nares?

Since fancy pigeons are more vulnerable to hawk attacks, do people who own them keep them in the loft and do not let them fly free?

Satinettes are cute! Are they a good beginner breed?

I actually do live in the United States, though I'm not telling where I live any further than that. Red-shouldered hawks and Mississippi kites are the most populous aerial threat I have seen nearby my house, especially because there is a Mississippi kite nest in one of my trees. Not a very safe...

Thank you, I find color varieties an interesting thing to study, even if I am not good at understanding genetics. Also, I had forgotten there were other breeds besides the Ice that had feathered feet!

These are two of the individuals among a feral flock that I feed occasionally. Does the first pigeon having feathered feet mean that he/she has an Ice pigeon ancestor? And what color is the second pigeon pictured, grizzle or pied? Sorry for all of the questions, but I am still learning!

Your pigeon is very cute! While we're on the hawk topic, I also am hesitant about ever raising pigeons because we have many hawks and kites that live close by, and would attack the pigeons any chance they could. Fortunately they haven't ever gotten the chickens, but have tried. How do you keep...

Thank you for all of your information, this thread is helping me a lot to learn about pigeons! I would love to get some next year, but I tell myself I need to do a ton of research before purchasing any new animal. Plus, I don't have enough to room to house pigeons anywhere. Speaking of Homing...

Those grizzled pigeons are beautiful! I have never understood genetics, but I am trying to get better at it.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I have to ask, where do all of you get your pigeons from? I have searched pigeon hatcheries and similar places, but I haven't found any source that look good.

Thank you for the videos! I know what frizzled is, since chickens can have that as well! There are so many beautiful color varieties in birds, that is one reason I love them so much.

I haven't heard of a grizzly color in pigeons, what is that? Actually, I have to admit I haven't heard of a lot of pigeon color varieties at all.

Thank you for explaining that, I wasn't aware you meant Giant Runts as a breed! That's an odd name. 🤣

I love those colors, what breed are they?

Nice! I like Homing pigeons, they are simple but I find them unique because of their homing ability. What do you use your Homing pigeons for?

They are so cute! What breed are they?

Congratulations! Pigeon squabs look so funny!

This picture doesn't show her tail fanned out, but it is the latest one I could find.

I have never heard of Fantail Bantams before!
