Gay Pied

[cokacola]

What exactly are the defining characteristics of a "Gay Pied" as opposed to a normal pied? I know that gay pieds tend to have a lot of white.

 

Cheers!

Ok, so Gay Pieds are the ones with lots of white, cool.

 

I'v seen the expert village videos before  ;D

[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

Think you would call a bird a gay pied if more than 50% white thats how i have always done it.

Very nice, I do like Gay pieds  

[Guest karl adams]

gay pieds do look nice but do they make good racers

[cokacola]

I guess it depends, some do, some don't probably. I know a man in my club's best ever bird was a Gay Pied hen.

 

On the other hand, some people advise that they are easy targets for hawks.

Cannot see why colour would make any difference to a birds winning capabilities :-/
