changing colourdo pigeons change colour???maybe a daft question,,,caramel log is brown and white,last year she was more red but over past few months her wings are now nearly totally white and the rest of her body is still a brick red colour with some flecks of white,is this cos shes quite young(i dont know her exact age,but shes mature)do feather colours and patterns change over time???? thanks

Most pigeons do change a bit in color as they grow up. For some it's just a slightly different shade of color, and for the others, like the grizzles, can change drastically. From what you described, it sounds a lot like tiger grizzle.
Here's one of my tiger grizzles as a baby http://picasaweb.google.com/MaryOfEx...52732778093282 A couple months older http://picasaweb.google.com/MaryOfEx...90149479354034 And again after moulting http://picasaweb.google.com/MaryOfEx...73976067138034 You can see how he changed. If I still had him, there's a chance he could have gotten even more white on his wings.
