I'm a new owner of 3 pairs of gorgeous Old German Owl (OGO) pigeons. Not a newbie to pigeons, but it has been about 20 years since I've had them.

I purchased them from a breeder in IL, from Eggbid.com, although I'd been pointed in his direction before the auction (thanks Daryl!). They come from some very good show lines, and I'm hopeful they will produce well for me.

Take a look: OGO pigeons

I'm also incubating 2 eggs that were laid in transit. I'm hoping to be able to foster them (rather than hand feeding) but time will tell on that one!

I also raise Ringneck and Diamond doves, so some of you may recognize me (Hi Terry and Kathy!) from the yahoo group "Doves-Pigeons". Daryl... we need to talk Figuritas!

Hi Greg,

Welcome to Pigeons.com. Those are some gorgeous birds you got there! Best of luck with them and best wishes for a successful outcome with the eggs.

I'm sure some of your friends will be along to welcome you as well.

I am breeding Homing pigeons. To date I have had rollers, high flyers and homers. My homers are my favorite. I still have one roller which has turned into the loft pet. I let him out to fly now and so far I have not seen the cool roll, but at any rate he gets exercise. As for my homers I have just completed breeding a young bird team. I have also been playing a bit with breeding colors. I know colors dont make a better racer, but they sure make me smile when I see all the color in my loft.

Oh, Greg,
I hope you're as happy with your Owls as I am with my Figuritas. I got 3 pairs from the same person you got the Owls from.
Greg, just e-mail me at peekabo@megalink.net and we'll discuss Valencian Figuritas, rather than tie up space here. This offer is open to any one who wants to know about my birds, so feel free to e-mail.

Greetings, I love Indian Fantails Because they have lot going on. The fanned tail, crest on the head and the feathered feet. Also the colors and markings. I like saddles and solids in yellow or red and white. Next, I am fond of West of England Tumblers. I enjoy the baldheads which kind of look like bald eagles. Lastly, I am into rollers for color and the show in the sky.

I raise rare colored racing homers that i show, my birds have won me several first places at shows, been showing for about 4 or 5 years now. Use to raise modenas and amereican fantails, gonna get back into the modenas.

[re lee]

Modenashave really became much larger birds in the past 25 years. what colors will you raise in the modenas

[halfwatt]

I seem to like the solids the best, yellows are very nice, but a little too hard to find.

First and foremost, my birds are RACING PIGEONS, the colors are, what they are. Mainly, red velvet, red check, silver, and very dark check. With all the colors of the rainbow, you have HOMING PIGEONS, not racers.

Just didn't want there to be confusion on the difference. No way in heck, a person can have that many colors, and a "family" of RACERS. It is a genetic impossibility. I like "pretty" homers myself, especially if they have a demonstrated ability to win races. But, let's not confuse "pretty" homers, with hard core "RACERS".

All the ones i have now are barless blue's, its the second rarest color you can get, use to have barless brown, but they wouldnt raise me any, go figure
