Hi just wanted to show you my lahore pigeons i bred this year enjoy

They are just beautiful Paul. How many do you have?
For those of us that are unfamiliar with the breed, could you tell us more about them?

At this moment i have around 10 did have about 20 but sold a few i found this info for you on the internet hope this helps

The lahore is a fancy breed of pigeon known for its impressive size and nature, the lahore was bredin pakistan in lahore hence the name

The Lahore is large for a pigeon, approximately 10.5 inches tall and 11.5 long. From shoulder to shoulder, it measures 5.5 inches. Its markings are also unusual: the base color is white, with a secondary color beginning at the juncture of beak and wattle and spreading in an arc over the eyes and across the back and wings. The rump and tail are to be white, though in pigeon shows the majority of attention is paid to the quality of the head, neck, and wing markings.

The neck should be heavily feathered and should lead to a full, broad chest. Cheeks should be plump, and the beak should be "broad and stout and rather blunt at the tip." [1] Feet and legs are feathered so that the bird appears to be wearing thick stockings.

Lahore are bred in many different colors, including Blue-bar, Checkered, Red, Blue, Brown, and Black.

Paul...what is their personality...skittish, calm? How did you happen to acquire them? What attrated you to them?

Some are calm and some are wild they all different, i first seen this breed in a show i went to and loved them.Think there size and large muffs attracted me first, also they have great markings just like the breed to be honest :)

They sound very similar to humans...some wild, some calm.

You got that right for sure matey
