Once You Get Some Pictures And Post Of The Birds They May Beable To Tell You Want Breed they Are. Plus think We All love the Whats that Breed Game. There Are Some People On Here That Are Really Good At It.
So How Did Getting The Last 17 go. Hope All Went Well And There Now Home With You. Yes I Think A Book With Pictures Of Breeds Will Work Better. When I Was looking For Pictures Of Diffrent Breeds I Had To Know The News Of The Breed And then Look. then You Find Breeders That Have Birds For Sell. Other Then Those Sites. There Wasn't Just One Page With the All the diffrent breeds If You should Have Any Luck please post it On Here.
Have A Great Day,
Jennifer

I will get photos in today. We had to build a cage to hold some of the birds we in order to get the other 17. We have built it and have emptied 2 small cages. Tonight we will gather the last of the birds and continue to dismantle their loft. Check in later this evening for the pictures I have get to work....Thanks again

Well, there you are...George knows 'em all! As for worrying about keeping them in a loft indefinitely, try not to. Many of us have former racers/homers who aren't let out to fly. I would suggest building a loft as big as possible for them just in case. You may want to build one and then after they're settled (and you've had a chance to breathe), build another one so there's plenty of room (maybe one for the smaller and younger birds). Of course, that's if you are able to do so and have the room and such. You mentioned some darker doves... doves aren't usually kept with pigeons as the pigeons will often bully them around. Doves are pretty easy to tell apart from pijies as they don't strut and coo as pigeons do, but bow up and down or "laugh". They will be much smaller in size, too. If you do have some doves you might want to set up a different enclosure for them. Just trying to give you some ideas, not scare you with a lot of work! Hope all goes well and thank you for going to all this trouble and work for these lucky birds. I know you'll love them.
