Meet Hope

[SRSeedBurners]

Hope is a baby Iranian Toughie high-flyer pigeon.  My breeder pair thought it was agood idea to just let this little one languish and began ignoring it in favor of his fat fatty sibling.  I found him/ her pretty much listless and on  the edge.  Wife decided she wanted him in the house.  I can gaurentee this is temporary. 

Wife named him Hope.  He sits above my workstation all day Hoping for his next feeding.  Hes starting to walk around a little.  A little preening, a little wing stretching.  We noticed in the last couple days he's starting to pay attention to us.  growing out of the pure baby instinct and starting to discover his new little world.

Hope's naughty parents.  He's going to look like his Daddy - the light brown one in the middle.  Mommy is on the left.   The dark brown on the right is another kind of pigeon, not a Toughie.  Toughie's wear dinner vests!

Ok, ignore that previous post.   Apparently you can't edit after a set period...

 

Whooaaa....I'm trying bbcode and other options to see if I can downsize this preview...
