What is the biggest difference between giant runt and Victoria Crown pigeons ( beside the size) I would like all the information I can get on both breeds. Size, lofts, price. feedings, etc.

The space requirements and cost of a pair of Victoria Crowned pigeons is pretty prohibitive for most fanciers. We're talking about $1500-2000 per bird and a 10x20 foot aviary for one pair.

I don't know the going rate for giant runts, but I can assure you it isn't anywhere near that of the Victoria Crowned pigeons.

My favorite is the Nicobar Pigeon.

I photographed one of them once, but I don't know what happened to the photo.
Great bird!
