Fancy pigeons!
These are just some of the esteemed winners of the National Pigeon Association's 2010 championship. In other words, those grubby gray flying animals we city dwellers live with have some very impressive relatives.
Frank gave me the book Extraordinary Chickens a few years ago; could Extraordinary Pigeons be next?
Yes, yes, by all means, yes.
Not that I'm a believer in these my-bird-is-better-than-your-bird contests.
My favorite bird of all time is Cocky Bennett. I xeroxed these pages out of a book I found in the Beverly Hills Library lo, so many years ago.
I didn't write down any information about the book and unfortunately the internet doesn't seem to have caught up with Cocky's fame and importance. But go ahead and read page 116...you'll get the idea.

Yes, for all their pomp and lustre, I prefer Cocky. He's got badittude. :)
According to google:
Cocky had a cage on the hotel's front verandah, where he watched passers-by and greeted old friends. Hotel patrons soon learned that Cocky became more talkative and his language more lurid after being given a 'sip of strong brew'. His most famous saying was: 'If I had another bloody feather I'd fly.'
