Hi Rachel. I completely understand how you feel. They just don't have that peaceful personality that comes with morning doves. Your best bet would have been to...
Drowning is a HORRIBLE and CRUEL way to put down any animal. Buy a CO2 canister at a bike store (they are used to inflate tires) fill an air tight container...
Hello All. If anyone can forward this to a Racing Homer Group, it would be gratly appriciated. Found a Pigeon in pretty bad shape. I have it on Electrolites...

Hi hellen. I agree with you 100%. It is a shame they couldn't have a program to capture some and return them where they belong. I know that wouldn't sove the...
Hi Helen. Thank you so much for the information. Yes, they do make the best of pets. I had over 100 of them, but I have been away from the breed for about 19...

They were quite tame, and I could have made a grab for them (being a novice racing pigeon retriever since the age of 13) Correction- perhaps WE should take a...
