We were discussing getting the feeding right, and I thought I would mention what I have found in the last week. Because the young birds were a bit 'on the tooth', I added a bit of maize and peas to the mix, and increased the amount a little. This seemed to satisfy them, but the last week they seem t...

Re: few pairs and the eyes

I never get sick of pictures of peoples pigeons and lofts.
The eyes, I don't know much about, other than mine all seem to one on each side of their heads, but the pigeons are looking very well, George.
Lovely pair of Blues.
