"FANCY" PIGEONS

As promised: With all this talk about pigeons, one of our readers fondly remembered her Australian Uncle taking part in "pigeon shows" in the early 2000's. 

While she could not find the years he was engaged in the hobby, she did come across a Flickr album from the 2008 ANPA NATIONAL PIGEON SHOW that pretty much encapsulated the birds shown at that time. Click on the link and enjoy:  ANPA National Pigeon Show 2008 (Qld) | Flickr
