Pigeon King International


This is just to see the dammage PKI has done around the world here in london there was a fellow selling pigeons to people for $300.00 a pair and the people would buy alot of these birds as well as sign a contract stating that he would buy the offspring off of you and give them to starving kids around the world so many people bought into his buisness but little did they know he was selling the offspring he bought off of you for $50.00 to another person for $300.00 again so he was making alot of money and then went bankrupt also fluding the market with pigeons here in ingersoll you can buy a cage of rollers (6-9 birds) for 2-5 dollars so you see how bad it's got... now i was wondering how bad is it around the world? are the markets fluded in other places as well? if so how bad?

Think you'll find that the 'international' bit refers to just Canada and the US. I'm not aware of any scam like this (involving pigeons) anywhere else.

There's been quite a few posts on here about PKI, and the effects of Galbraith's scheme on people and pigeons.

I have read the articles, about PKI, and i am sorry, any one that really knew pigeons, would have seen it for the Ponsie scheme it was.
I guess the moral to that sad tale is, do not buy into a Smooh farm unless you Know Smoohs. Dave

yea for sure see i am in it just for fun because there is nothing to do in the small town i live in and most teen's turn to drugs and violince and i'm not like that so i picked up this hobby to sorta be different you know what i meen... well i got these birds for free and spent money to build a coop then feed for me is 15 dollars every two weeks for 2 years it add's up to be alot you know then when i have offspring that i can not show or raise(due to lack off space) finding suitable homes for the birdsthen lowering the cost off them from ($60.00 a pair a year ago) to $10.00 a pair now this is becomming a very expensive hobbie for me... but i love it alot and i dont see me ever getting out of them there to much fun they give you the enjoyment of bringing a new life into the world and watching it grow them make new life.. it's enjoyable to me...
