Nope, in fact we had grizzled and mealys and they flew out all the time, I am sure the hawks seen them as other BOP as they were so big

This one would follow me around the garden and workshop, even when I was using a nail gun it did not flinch

Pigeons are colour blind, so colour means FA, its the blood that counts, so the way you are all talking, Reds. Red cheqs and mealies would never win anything  ;D ;D ;D

I agree with the second part but I don't agree that they are colour blind :-/

I've had a doo that went in the huff if you try to pair them with a certain colour Bob so am not buying the colour blind wan no chance mate Had a cock 3 or 4 yrs back paired to a dark hen and she went missing tae the hawk me thinks and the following year i tried to pair him to a blue hen (mind he was paired to the darky for 3 yrs) and he wouldnae look at the blue hen but i had another dark hen spare so through the 2 of them in a spare section and he went mental cooing awe oer the shop so maybe they dae see things mate :-/ :-/ ;) ;)

Sorry for misquoting by saying "pigeons are colour blind", perhaps misleading. The point I was trying to make is that birds can see ultraviolet and have at least four types of color sensitive cone cells in their eye make up. Humans have only three types of cone. Therefore birds do not perceive colour in the same way we humans do. The attractor regarding choosing a mate in birds is what they see in the ultraviolet spectrum which is invisible to the human eye. Hence what we may see as beautiful attractive colours do not appear the same to birds and in no way influence their choice of mate. (As in budgerigars, it is not the body colour that attracts a mate, but the cheek patch, which we see as purple, but they see as ultraviolet, likewise in pigeons, the iridescent colours we see on their necks is seen as ultraviolet to them and it is the pattern that is used in choosing a mate). The point I was making is colour does not attract or detract from a pigeons ability to perform better or worse because of it's colour.
