Welcome ggoss1 from down under

Yes, welcome! Your birds look beautiful and your setup is amazing! I, too, am new to pigeon-raising and still need to work on my own setup, so I am very impressed with what you have built. The breeding pens look excellent! Do you have some sort of trap for when you fly them?

 

[spirit wings]

You can't beat a loft with a duck pen built on the side of it! what a nice set up you have. good luck with the frills ,I have a white pair myself and really enjoy them. keeps us updated and love your loft.

Hello and Welcome to pigeon Talk,

I really like your loft, one question.....do you have an aviary for the pigeons on the other side of the loft???

 

[g0ldenb0y55]

Welcome to PT! Nice setup you got there and nice birds!

 

[ggoss1]

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments. I do not have an aviary attached because these are my breeding stock. When I have babies I am going to fly them once a day. Also, If you look at the door you will see the landing board and one way doors. The entire enclosure is made of redwood and cost around $2500 to make.

I have a question:

The picture of the one pigeon close up has something special going on with the feathers on his head. I like it alot. Is this a special type of pigeon or just a variation?

Hi Neighbor

Hi GEORGE, Welcome to the group,I live in OCEANSIDE and look forward to meeting you. I raise ITALIAN OWLS, AMERICAN SHOW RACERS,SADDLE HOMERS, and RACING HOMERS. I belong to the METRO PIGEON CLUB in SAN DIEGO this is an all breeds club and we meet the first Saturday of every month our next meeting is 4 APRIL 12noon to 4pm.I do not raise Frillbacks but maybe someone in the clubs does. Your loft looks good I assume that the ducks are housed along side the pigeons and not with them. I forgot I also am a member of the AMERICAN SHOW RACER CLUB in Riverside and we meet the second Saturday of the month thats this weekend. GEORGE

Thanks everyone. I am definitely going to attend the San Diego Metro club meeting. Thank for the invite. I am excited.

and yes...the ducks are a completely seperate entity from the pigeons. they only share a common wall. And the pigeon coop is on a concrete slab!

Welcome, what a great looking loft. Glad to have you.

Hi George! Very nice to meet you and welcome to Pigeon-Talk! I rescue both ducks and pigeons (and many others), so I got a HUGE smile out of seeing both your pigeons and your ducks. You have a lovely setup for them. I'm up in Lake Forest in South Orange County.

I used to work in Lake forest. That's awesome. My wife rescues rabbits. Thanks for the compliments.

Small world, indeed! Any chance your wife would like about 10 more rabbits? I seem to end up with them too from my rounds at the local parks and ponds where I go to look after the ducks. It's so very sad that so many bunnies get dumped like they do.
