  7. what would the members think would be a good and fair price for to have pigeon loft erected on a farm,with all services supplied.
  8. Description: This bird is very different from the pigeon we are used to seeing in towns and cities. The crowned pigeon is quite spectacular, being blue in colour and as tall as a turkey (74 cm). It has a large crest of feathers on its head that can be raised - hence its name. It is the largest of all living pigeons and is found in the wild only in New Guinea and some smaller offshore islands nearby.
  9. The Victopia Crowned pigeon is the largest pigeon it about the size of a chicken

  20. Pigeon Tips No 1. Make sure your loft is 100% vermin proof. There is nothing that will knock your birds off form quicker than a small mouse urinating or leaving droppings or drinking from the birds water fountain. No 2. Make sure that your corn bins are completely sealed for the above reasons. A mouse will get through the smallest of gaps in doors or vents. No 3. Don’t fall into the trap of treating all your birds with antibiotics on a regular basis simply because one bird doesn’t look quite right. Always isolate it and treat it on its own. No 4. Don’t be afraid of asking for advice from any good, consistent fancier. Most will be only too willing to offer the right advice no matter how long you have been flying pigeons. No 5. Be a good listener and ask more than one fancier for advice. No 6. Don’t be conned into buying everything that is advertised and sold as the best additive on the market. There are simply not enough days in the year to give your birds what is advertised. No 7. Training: Your birds should be flying freely around home before you start training. If your birds are not fit before the training season, no amount of driving them up and down the motorway is going to get them fit. Save your time, effort and petrol. No 8. Your time and efforts will be far more rewarding if you spend time cleaning your loft with a scraper and washing your drinkers (not just rinsing them in cold water). No 9. Pay attention to detail. If you have the time, sit and watch your pigeons – they will tell you when they are on form. No 10. Keep an up-to-date written record of the bird’s performances so you will know what to breed off in the future. It’s no good trying to keep it in your head – unless you have only two pigeons! As I have said before, don’t be afraid or embarrassed to ask questions. We all learn by asking questions. I’m still asking and listening.
