Another Update on the Bower's School Farm Pigeon Project

I pulled two clear eggs yesterday.  For those not familiar with the terminology, a "clear" egg is an infertile egg.  It was pretty apparent that the parents had even given up on them.  So far, no luck in getting any fertile eggs from the Baldhead Rollers.

The fantails continue to sit on their eggs and I hope to have one young fantail in the loft very soon.

I had to drive over to Detroit today to pick up a pair of stray domesticated pigeons that someone found over there.  They are Russian Tumblers (actually pretty decent show specimens) that someone was flying unbanded.  I'm so naive sometimes.  My father mentioned to me that sometimes people will steal pigeons and cut off the bands.  It would have never occurred to me that could be a reason for someone having unbanded birds flying around.
