Pigeons Visiting Nursing Home Boutwells Pearl Khufu more

 

"CHICKENS, PIGEONS, and DOVES, OH MY"... at many nursing homes, Minnesota and Wisconsin ~:<)

Many hundreds of times now, with a variety of birds.(Video, click on pic).

STARRING - - Pearl Jacobin, Khufu Egyptian Swift, Simon Modena, Mr. King Show King, Shmoo Silky Chicken, Mini and Spot Dove, Quail, Nursing home residents and Staff, and my 101yo Mother (Other birds, dog and cat not in film clip).

-

- Pearl Jacobin has been held by nearly 1,000 residents, and has never flown or pooped on anyone (she can do both ~:<) . . . She will jump on anyone's arm and they can pet her.

- - It's a good feeling to see how excited the residents get when holding the birds, HUGE smiles. They LOVE the birds. Many have never held a bird.

Many more times to go ~:<)

$100 to $350.00 for a Pigeon at a show I went to this weekend. Jacobin Pigeons, but other breeds are less expensive. Breeders from all over the USA were at this specialty show = Fantails, Modena (like my Simon) and Jacobins.
I ALMOST came home with a Jacobin... fell in love with several, they are so gentle and so very beautiful, but too delicate to live in my Aviary with the others.
These guys take it very serious. One fellow from S Dakota (a heart surgeon) has a Pigeon loft 40' by 80' with many hundreds of Jacobin Pigeons. I only have 3.

Keep in mind that these have been caged for 3 days so are a bit messy.  

The Fantails are rather odd and I don't care for them.
The Modena (Like Simon) are very husky stocky birds with an attitude, but have very beautiful feather patterns.
The Jacobins have a beautiful arrangement of feathers that form a large Puff around the sides of the head. They don't fly too well, but can.

Fantail judging

Fantail - Yes that's how they normally look. How do they fly?
