| What kind of abnormalities do you observe with your pijjies? We have one pigeon who is called Quackquack - can you guess why? He makes noises not like a pigeon but really like a duck - maybe he grew up near the ducks and he wants to be a duck????? Another one is a real freak: he is called Goosy - can you guess why? He has a WEBBING between his toes - the photo I could catch are not the best but you can see it.... One day there will be pijjies who are going back to the water.... | |

| Hi Petra, It's great to hear from you. I know you're very busy, so I always enjoy seeing a new post from you. We miss you LOTS. I've not heard a pigeon making a 'quacking' sound. I'll bet it sounds funny. I have heard of a pigeon showing up now and then with a web foot, or partial web foot. Jen posted a picture of one she found. Here's the linkThanks for sharing your photos with us. | |

| Remarkable! I guess those mutations happen occasionally, but probably most of them go unnoticed. | |

| I haven't come across anything really significant, but some of the pigeons I've heard make sounds that differ from the majority. Come to think about it, I've heard a deep kwork-kwork sound, and I wonder if it's like the one you described for Quackquack. Thinking how different the call of a collared dove or a wood pigeon can be, I wondered if it was a member of a wild species (I'm told there are 2 in Portugal, but not in the towns) or a cross-breed. | |

Our Pij used to make a very clear and distinct but completely different sound than our other pigeons. His was 'coo-wakka-wakka'/ 'coo-wakka-wakka'. It's a sound I've never heard since, and will never forget it. Shi and I loved to sit and listen to him. | |

I've heard a few pigeons that quack or honk like ducks and geese! I love hearing them since it's so different and funny. I've never seen webbing before. Very interesting. I'm sure there are five-toed pigeons out there and other mutations. | |
