County Fair 2008

First with the pigeons, then perhaps the remaining poultry if it comes down to it.

 

Mind, I apologize for some of the cruddy shots, I had to settle for sticking the lens bit as near to /through/ the gaps in the cages, some of which were tiny... Ergo there might be some funny vinnetting for both light and dark around the photo edges.

 

Enjoy!

 

(I do have several more if you all want. :3)

Thanks, I rather like the two runts right above it.

Of the pair, the hen is the grizzle and the cock is the blue bar.

 

Once I figure it out, I'll upload a video of him dancing. It's amusing enough.

[gangster]

do you fly the runts out...

[Hamster Girl]

Unfortunately they are not mine, but their owner is my friend.

She does not fly them or any of her birds.. She has a flock of maybe forty birds, mostly Frillbacks and WoE's.

 

-Different shot of the Indian Fantail.

still nice looking birds

The two WoE's, the bar is the hen and the cheq is the cock.

Both are the parent's of my previous bird and th ethird is a Modena x American Show Racer.

Gorgeous head (-very-ASR looking, with a hint of Modena) when looked at directly.. Otherwise the bird looks like a Modena.

It's mother is the Red Grizzle. in my previoust post.

tell you what a good looking bird a good cross mmmmmmmmmm food for thought there i think...

[Hamster Girl]

Hehehe...

It was a bummer, there were nto nearly as many pigeons this year.. If I could take the time off I would go to the state fair and get some shots there - I know for sure they have like, half a barn dedicated to pigeons.

Unfortunately College will get in the way. D:

DO YOU KEEP MANY???

[Hamster Girl]

Currently I have three as I sold the Figurita at the fair.

What is left are..is..?:

Two solid white Homing Pigeons, and then a black teager Domestic Show Flight.

[gangster]

thats not a lot do the fly out??

[Hamster Girl]

Not as of yet, I am waiting for the Homers to nest before I begin letting them out..

I am worried they would go back to their previous home if I let them out before then.. So..

I am however planning on getting three more birds..

A Parlour Roller and a pair of Magpies.

 

Even then, though, I would be afraid to let them out with the number of hawks we have - what with being in the desert it isn't uncommon to spot up to three in one day.. Mostly Red-tailed but a few Peregrine falcons as well.

[gangster]

those parlor rollers are great 2 watch in action....

[Hamster Girl]

Indeed.

Well, I'm off.. Have to get ready for work and such.

Have a good day all!

[gangster]
