pin Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Is it possible that some of these are feral, I have only ever seen one that looked like this, just sat and watched him feed and move about, lovely looking thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul in North Lincs. Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 thanks..................................they are superfit and well conditioned......and if you know your pigeons at all...they are line-bred from direct desendants of the renowned 'Busshaert Rapido'........ called....'Superman'.....whose racing record is truely outstanding...... The big belgium cock-bird at the bottom is 11 years old believe it or not...... :( . he's in the stud loft now and is still filling his eggs.................. Is it possible that some of these are feral, I have only ever seen one that looked like this, just sat and watched him feed and move about, lovely looking thing. Not ferals pin.........I hope not at £150 or more a bird!!!!!!!.........ferals will revert back to their original colours within about 4 or 5 or generations, unless they are selectivley bred to throw pure whites....... for weddings and funerals they have to be in tip-top condition.........

pin Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I worded that badly, clearly I wasn't suggesting these were feral birds! What I meant was "could one of those be out in the wild flying feral?" Which is probably stupid, given all it would need is one to escape.. I am sure this was just white feral I saw and not one of these £150 super-pigeons :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
