Found a breed.

I finally found a cool breed that I like. Its called a tiger swallow. Does anybody breed these and do they need special care? Thanks Evan.

WOW!
Hey, does anyone know, can any sort of breed be mated with another? Just curious...

Any pigeon breed can be crossed with another, but many people frown on this because it "ruins" the breed. If they are just pets it isn't a big deal, but it's best to keep purebreds pure, if for no other reason than if you need to give them up, it's easier to find homes for purebreds.

I'm looking for the wild type pigeon. Anybody know what breed this is?

Officially the are called Columbia livia - Rock Dove. They are commonly blue bars or blue check styles, but you will see many other colors, feathered feet, partial frills, rollers and tumblers, and homer traits among them.

Here is a pic of what I'm talking about. I can afford this bird but I think its very nice.

The bird in the pic is a racing homer. That color pattern is not a breed, just a color pattern. Most breeds can be bred into the blue bar pattern.

Hope that helps some, good luck.

Cool....
I don't really want to breed my birds, but would certainly like to get girlfriends for them some day. Thanks for those links. Really neat pics!
