well, i decided to get rid of all of my rare egytpian swifts, and exotic valencian figuritas... i also have a male brown lahore that's paired up with a male black nun...




let me find pics on photobuckets...


here is the female egyptian swift laying on eggs... i have a pair and two of their kids... they are bronze in color... they look gorgeous in the sun, have a strong copper/gold pearl on their feathers...



male egyptian swift...


them together...



brown lahore and black nun in the background...



the brown lahore sitting on chicken eggs... LOL...


here is a picture of the male valencian figuritas... not my picture, but the male is that color and everything...


i have a video of them on youtube, hold on...

i don't know if i want to get rid of the breeding pair of figuritas... i really like him, he's hilarious and they are incredible parents...



as far as pricing...

lahore 10...
black nun 10...
lahore and black nun 15...

young egyptian swifts 15...
egyptian swift breeding pair 40...
all 4 egyptian swifts 60...

young valencian figuritas 10...
valencian figuritas breeding pair 30...
all for 5 valencian figuritas 50...





and, yeah i know... they're pigeons...

here's some info on the valencian figuritas... http://www.whiteracers.20m.com/photo_14.html

they are exotic show pigeons... very fancy, small and great pets... i have one that is very attached to me... if i don't get rid of him, i'll put a cage for him in my room and keep him... they will get bonded to a person...

they are rare in california still... great flyers if you're into that... great parents too...



i'm putting them up on here before i put them on pigeon talk, byc and finally craigslist... also, i'm giving you guys a deal... if you're down to take all of them, i'll hook you up... pigeons are a great hobby, they don't make noise, don't eat much, don't need a lot of room, no electricity LOL, and don't make a huge mess like other birds...

i'm putting them on other forums in a couple of days... don't want to put them on craigslist or take them to the petshop/feedstores... give them a good home dag-nammit...

OMG ke bonitas!!!!! Good luck with the sale gumbi,
it was nice seeing you today! :)
OMGHILIZ!!!... welcome to my thread... LOL...

good seeing you too... ♥♥♥♥

Did u say 2 males...?
yes... pigeons bond... they will bond with whatever is available... so if you have a pigeon in you room and sleep near them, they will bond with you and treat you like their mate... these two dudes bonded together, and now, they take turns jumping on eachother's backs... LOL... they're both males, and both sit on fake eggs... if i had some extra eggs, i'm sure they'll be good dads... it's normal for pigeons to pair up homosexualy...

another example of homosexuality in nature...

thx dennis...

what sex are the young figs? and are you getting rid of their cages as well?
um, when i felt the young figs, i felt a boy and a girl... but i'm still not sure... the oldest of the young ones is a hen for sure... she's a blue grizzle... there's one that's very tame, he's a red bodied red bar... still too young to coo/quack... they have a very young squab that's just weening and still with the parents... she's also sitting on two eggs right now... these guys breed like crazy... srsly... they are great starter pigeons... if i had some jacobins or something that dont' breed well, i would have these as surrogate parents...

and no... no cage... cage is super easy to make... usually cost around 30-40 bucks to build... well mine cost that much... i need their cage for a new species of chicken i just got... their cages are actually made for small chickens... sorry...

all pigeons are sold... some guy came from sfv and picked them all up... straight out low balled me, but it's aight... rather get rid of them all quick than hustle each and single one off...

i'm kind of sad, but meh... i got a new racquetball racquet out of it... LOL...
