Playing with Angels

Today Feb. 17, 2011 was just

Beautiful.

No coats or jackets and AJ & ME even

dug out some shorts.

AJ decided to pull all of his White Homers,

that he has raised and take inventory of

them. Also check them over to be sure

no problems had occured during our bad

Winter Storms we just had.

He started pulling the White Homers out of the loft

and putting them in temporary cages,

so he check each one over.

The Birds all seemed to be in fine conditions.

AJ started breeding these White Homers in 2005.

Madison was just 5 years old. Every time a

White Homer Pigeon was hatched Madison

would name it "ANGEL".

and...That is how AJ came to have a Flock of

"ANGELS"!

So today AJ spent the warm Feburary afternoon

"Playing with Angels"

I told AJ,

"I wished we could rent out

our Angels for Weddings."

I can just see these Beauties

flying against a Blue Sky

with a Wedding Party under them!

Plus AJ & ME could make an extra Buck

to help with the feed.

Feeding our 100 plus Pigeons

get a little costly.

Every year at Christmas AJ says

"all I want for Christmas is some

Bags of Pigeon Seed".

Madison has grown up with her

Grampy's Pigeons and dearly

loves them. Everyday after school,

she eats a snack, does homework

and then is out to the Pigeon Lofts

to check out the Birds until her

Daddy picks her up.

AJ has about 15 Pretty White Homers

and they are all in fine condition.

But look out Angels,

AJ just got 3 Solid Black Racing Homers

and he is going to breed a small flock

of them.

They to are very striking in appearence.

I can't wait to show you our

Black Beauties!

Do not let the warm weather fool you,

our wild birds still need a crumb of bread

and a Bird Bath full of water.
