Rare pigeon thread !!!

I think all of us rare pigeon fanciers should show off our rare birds.



I will start it off.This is one of my rare pigeons.

Wyan, is that an ice pigeon? Nice birds everyone!

Punk-a-doodle that is an ice pigeon I breed and show them. My grandfather raised mostley rare breed pigeons and when he died me and my cousin kept the tradition going. We raise ice pigeons, starlings, saxon whitetails, danish suabians and a few other rare breeds. Nice birds everyone.

That is so neat! What a great tradition and memory to keep alive, and some truly stunning breeds to work with.

I don't have any, and can't have any until we move, but a breed I'm absolutely in love with is the Old German Cropper. Not my photo, or my bird (but oh how I wish it was!):

Here is one of my FrillBacks.

Nice frillback. I used to have a few pairs I miss having them.

How are frill-backs as far as ease of care and raisiing their own squabs?
