the bird at top is one of the breeds I got, a Swiss Mondaine, and the bird below is a white racing homer, it is actually a big bird itself as pigeons go, considerably bigger than a garden fantail or a street pigeon
the other breed, a White King. I had heard these were extinct in NZ but no a very few remain and are very precious

I was trying to get a photo of the whole bird but she was curious

some more Mondaines with pretty plumage
They are such lovely natured birds, really laid back. And BIG! About 1kg each!
