New Loft

[Melsloft]

Hi, my name is Mel , I'm 38 years old and after an absense in teh sport of 15 years I'm back with a small 3'X5' garden loft breeding 4 pairs this year. Because of where I live I couldn't build anything larger. I'll post some pics soon I also have a website for those who are interested. I bought only what I thought was the best and I'm breeding from now and sending young out to the big races, as well as selling a few later on. In addition I do pigeon portraits, all my pics on my website were taken by me as well as my pigeon portraits also sketched out by me hope you all like it!!! www.melsloft.com

here is an early pic of the loft, after this pic was taken I redid the perches to V's as they are much easier to clean and keeps the feet clean as well, also added a front aviary.. I'll post some of the most recent with nest boxes... sooon

Real neat drawings, I might just ask for one of those for father's day. I may be calling you for rates.

Great site . . .great drawings . . . are the eyes duplicate of the real birds eye . . .? Or a replica.

here is again pics of one of my pairs I'm breeding from to send to special races... all taken by me.... if you look at my website I can also add different backgrounds gradiants, sunsets, clouds, you name it.. since my pair is "Lighting Bolt" and Thunder Bolt" I added a backdrop of a lighting/thunder storm

[abisai]

That is truly magnificant . . . I love tunderbolt's eye.

[Melsloft]

Yes ThunderBolt has a great eye!! she has breed 2 winners and many other top birds, she also comes from a family of winners and breeders, perfect match to Lighting bolt who has more of a flyers eyeFYI Thuinder Bolt has two firsts one from the Cajun race and the other the Mardi gra race....

What an interesting and beautiful picture. You're quite an artist. Thanks for sharing that painting with us (or is it pen & ink?).
