Guest cloudview Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 have heard of them but i doubt you will ever get any of them your going back over a century ago and i think the spelling was bonaime
Guest peter.j Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 wasnt bon ami a famous winner of the dicken medal for being shot up and getting back and saving a load of troops might be an individual bird rather than a strain, i may be wrong but the name sounds familiar

Brian Smith Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 This was a strain of birds raced in the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries,just looked at a 1907 Homing pigeon annual there is an advert of T.H. Burton he is selling birds bred down off Orchardsons old Bonami blood including an own son and daughter of the the famous 28 and 27 Bonami pair.Hope this helps that is how it spelled in this book.
