The link i put up before wouldn't work but if you google modena pigeons you should come up with a fair bit of info  

[darkknight]

They can be very aggressive,can make a real mess of your hand if you go in the nests

[darkknight]

thanks for the info

Kings look similar but a lot larger than modenas, I don't think they are as aggressive :-/

They are still only pigeons though and there is a limit to how much damage they can do,they are just abit bigger and stronger and slightly more territorial than some other breeds

[darkknight]

i will have to try to find someone that sells them

my kings were a nightmare mate. took over the shed and wanted to fight everything.imo its best to keep just that breed together in the one shed.if you put them in with a smaller lighter breed they are terrible bullies.

 

very tame birds with the fancier though .

[darkknight]

just done a google search cant find any for sale i looked for kings too

glad to be of assistance

[Andkar Lofts]

definetely a gazzi modena ( poss, sulphur laced ) or ochre ..,

they are fine in a section just containing modenas ,have had them & reeked havoc

now history....some modena fanciers use single breeding pens for each pair ..( nice if got space )........

[darkknight]

thanks for info she only wants one or 2 as a pet really
