3 New, 1 Old


Hi folks,

Took some new pictures the other day of my pigeons, 45 in total but only a few came out well or were worth saving & sharing. The 3 pictures of my youngsters are new but the one of their parents is old, from 2003. It happens to be my favourite picture of the two of them I've never been able to catch them in such a natural and loving pose together since.

Brad,

Ricky is quite a looker and those gorgious eyes...WOW

Lucy is also quite stunning, they both seem to favor the mom in their coloring, but Lucy has more the face of her dad (the black one, is that right?)

I like the new avatar, too!

Thanks Treesa

Yep, Eggbert is the all black male and you're right they get their grizzle from their mom and they both have it. Funny how they inherited certain traits from each parent though In some ways, Ricky is the exact opposite of his mom in colouring. She white with dark grizzling and he's black with white grizzling

Henny has actually become more grizzled over the years as well. In that picture and years ago, she was only grizzled on her head, neck and chest. Now she's developing patches of dark feathers on her back and shoulders.

Very nice birds, it's nice to see how they change over time. I always loved kings.

Beautiful pictures, as usual, Brad.

Being able to see their faces, close up, it appears to me that both youngsters take after their father, with a stern expression around the eyes. Very majestic looking. Thanks for sharing.

Just to clarify, Brad's birds are big, beautiful, giant runts. Kings are generally a bit smaller and station with their tail up, rather than down like the runts.

They are just gorgeous, Brad! I never noticed the intensity of their eyes before .. quite amazing! When you get "the look", I suspect you pay attention <LOL>!

Brad, they really are quite beautiful, and I like the way you have the ramp up to the mirror for their viewing pleasure .
