peter pandy Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 July 2010 I bred a late bred from a Blue Cock X Dark Cheq Hen Aarden's which colour I had never seen before and as such stuck out like a sore thumb amongst my Blues, Cheqs, Dark Cheqs as it was almost Pink. The part time gardener who new nothing about pigeons always remarked on it as we sat outside in the garden having lunch or afternoon tea, It took to the sky like any other pigeon and trained around the loft with the others. Mary my good lady of 45 years decided she wanted to retire back to Scotia to be near the family again so in September 2010 we moved back up from Hatfield 20 miles North of London. All the birds were basketed and brought up to a spare shed my brother had and there they remained for 5 months in captivity. I had new lofts built with the Stock in one and the rest which were all Yearlings installed in the racing loft in late February keeping them in till late April before trying to re-home them into their new surroundings. Half of them 15 in total immediately took off in a Southerly direction along with the pink one. Last I will see of that says I to the Mrs however over the next few days birds were returning yet I still had about 10 missing. As an afterthought I phoned the gardener to enquire if any had returned to their original home as they were not at my brothers shed and low and behold he informed me the Pink one had been sitting on the cottage roof the day before along with a couple of others. To say I was astounded would be to put it mildly as their was 350 miles betweem the lofts and the only time she had been in a basket was transporting her up here. Another fortnight went by when my brother phoned to say she was back and trying to get into his shed where I duly trapped her and ensconced her into my stock loft. I phoned the gardener and asked when he had last seen the Pink one and he replied yesterday so she had done a single up from 350 miles again. Makes you wonder does it not and by the way she is not Pink as when at Blackpool I noticed one similar in the Masserella pens and they had it down as a Mossaic mind you she is still a Pink Lady to me.
