Here are some interesting photos of pigeons and their breeders in the Middle East.
Neat to see the different shapes and sizes and the bangles on them!
Though I think most women here would be rather pissed if their DH sold the fridge and her jewelry for a pigeon lol!

Neat. I won't show the chickens 'cos they'll all want jewellery!

Yes, I really liked the beads on the legs, for decoration and I assume for ID as well...

Some of the eastern breeders that fly their pigeons put small whistling in flight shiny beads on them to scare Hawks. Luck
