Hi, I'm new -- what a great pigeon site this is!Hi everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself as RoundAbout, which is the name of my favorite pigeon. She is a Birmingham Roller living with 14 others, all named as pets. She is mated to TopsyTurvy, and they are now taking care of their second batch of squeakers, RoughnTumble and SteelDust. I have a chair in the coop, so I can enjoy the interactions of the pigeons in the coop. Our coop measures about 10 by 10 feet and is broken into two sections, one for the breeders and one for the flyers. Each nice morning I let out the flyers to have their joyous flight in the bright blue sky. These pigeons are technically my husband's, but he is sick and can't care for them, so they have become my pets.
Just went out yesterday and found another new baby in RolyPoly and UpsyDaisy's nest, and my husband thought of its name -- PeanutButterBrickle! Last edited by RoundAbout; 25th April 2005 at 07:31 AM.

Upcd, most of our pigeons are red check or ash red, but five are blue check. I'm waiting to see what ZigZag who is red and TwirlAway who is blue will produce colorwise. Click on the atttachment to see SkyRoller, one of the prettiest.

SkyRoller is magnificent!
I myself have a special liking for ash-red pigeons, and this one is a beauty! If ZigZag (ash-red) breeds with TwirlAway (Blue, wildtype) you will end up with Ash-Red Littlens, as Ash-Red in a dominant Gene to Blue, there are oh so many other variables in a pigeons genetic makeup that make every new pidgie unique, and it's lots of fun to predict what littlens will come from a specific pair.
