Barron's Pigeon Guide

Barron's has since put out a newer, updated version of the 1980s book on pigeons. More color breed artwork as well as some good black and white drawings showing care, lofts, behavior of pigeons. A very good guide for the beginner or pigeon fancier of any age. While it does not cover detailed genetics or medical advice (check your avian vet for that information), it still has its place in every bird lover's library.

Pigeon Book

I got this book it has everything it said alot of information. Well worth the little i paid for it.

Superb!

Most concise informative booklet on this subject I could find! Short, sweet, & to the point without alot of flim-flam!!!!!!!!!

Best Book For Raising Pigeons

I bought this book, and it's sister book Doves, the day after I was given an orphan day-old pigeon chick to raise way back in 1997. Normaly I deal with domestic birds (bantams, budgies, ect.) so when my Pidgie came to me, I knew the basics, but I also knew I didn't know enough about pigeons to raise him on my own. These 2 books were all I needed, they provide all the info needed to raise happy healthy pigeons and doves from chick to adult. I am so glad these 2 German classics had been translated and reprinted into English, I don't know what I would have done without them. ~~EK

GREAT BOOK FOR THE PERSON RAISING SHOW OR FANCY PIGEONS.

IT TELLS OF DIFFERANT TYPES OF PIGEONS. HOW TO HOUSE AND FEED THEM.IT TELLS OF THE DISEASES AND THEIR TREATMENT.
