WOW those are fantastic looking birds,,, do these types fly free ??  where do you get them and at what cost??

 

 

The Pfungstadts, Memelers, and Portuguese, fly out but not often as there are lots of hawks where I live, and I use them for showing, We brought the flying breeds back from Germany a few years ago

hi steph,

nice looking birds.

i do like the Holle Cropper !!

i have been told that some of the cropper/pouter breeds are very messy feeders and pump a lot of water into the youngerns and therefore feeders are often used.  

is this the case with the holle or do they rear their own without mess????

Do you use a blue background for photo editing?

 

Not really its just to seperate the pens so the birds dont see each other while there in the pens they seem to quieten down quicker and respond better and its a nice background for pics ;D

Thats a Holle Cropper still being pen trained to stand properly :)

 

Steph,have you tried rounding the corners of the show pen out with cardboard to stop them standing in the corners?

And Great for photo editing as well :)

 

a good background can make a bird look better

Definately, blue is one of the most popular backgrounds for highlighting and the easiest for editing. Windows clouds being the most famous I would think :)

Is this something you do to your own pens, or is it a common colour used at shows?
