Pigeons Loft

my sons modena pigeons a new addition to our loft. at first i thought modenas were big fat ugly birds but how wrong was i they are really nice and have some awesome colours and history read this. The Modena is a pigeon which has more than its fair share of colour - especially in its past. In the 1300s in the Italian city of Modena, intense rivalry between the city's pigeon fanciers had reached violent levels, as they enticed the opposition's pigeons and held them to ransom, or if that failed, destroyed the birds. Explosives were attached to pigeons which were then released to rejoin their flock and kill as many of the opposition's birds as possible. Finally, in 1327 the council drafted regulations regarding pigeon flying in Modena. Nowadays, most Modenas cannot fly much, but are bred for their beautiful colours and shape.
