Ye I know. Didn't think there were so many different types of pigeons until I took them up again holy moly Only ever came across racers, fantails, archangels, and a couple of types of tumblers. My mate and his dad had the Horseman doos and used to fly them in Edinburgh so I'd come across them but was never attracted to them but was impressed with what these guys did with them and at least they were flying and entertaining. He used to have to take them into the house overnight cause they would get stolen or killed by some scumbags :grrrr!: Personally for me I prefer the flying birds, the ones that have their freedom in the sky but I do also appreciate the guys who breed for show but think some breeds are way out of hand and should have been culled in the beginning. Big long necks, frog legs, bald necks, feet with flight feathers on them (turn upside down when wings are tired and flap feet) :Very Funny: faces like they've been well kicked in, back to front feathers, rollers rolling about the lawn, come on they got wings for Fx sakes :not happy: not for me but suppose they must give pleasure to some. How are those white rollers coming on bye the way, there’s more to them than meets the eye Duncan, eh! Cheers.
