I am having to sell all my Old German Owl Pigeons due to my age and health, I have approx 25
They are all in great health and are used to flying out and around the loft. They are really lovely birds which have a kind of halo over their heads and smaller beaks. Very pretty
I have proven breeding pairs and some singles.
It has been a wonderful hobby but now is becoming too much for me at 80.
These birds are fancy show pigeons and not racing birds. They need to be homed in an aviary, as they cannot fend for themselves in the wild. I would need to be sure that they will be looked after before I let them go. Sorry but even though I have to sell them I still care about them.
I am based in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
They are £25 a pair
please message me with any questions etc.
