Pigeon King & the Ponzi Scheme

October 23, 2015 By mang nano Leave a Comment

pigeon kingI came across this article on the NY Times about the Pigeon King Arlan Galbraith from Canada.  He built his pigeon king empire back in 2001 to 2008 and amassed billions of dollars in getting investors which are mostly farmers to buy pigeons from him to farm and raise.

The article also mentioned a couple who borrowed $125,000 against their farm property and they bought 360 pairs of pigeons from the Pigeon King at $165 a pair. The article is quite lengthy but interesting.  If you have the time go ahead and click on that link above.

On some other news article it mentioned that he was convicted of fraud for luring numerous Canadian and US farmers to raise pigeons farms and guaranteed a profitable back-back prices.
7-year prison term for Pigeon King

Feeding Poultry Feed to Pigeons

October 21, 2015 By mang nano Leave a Comment

I know it seems like an abomination to most of the pigeon experts out there but I’m trying to feed my roller pigeon breeder pair this Purina Layena pellets.

feeding chicken pellets to pigeonsI’m weaning them out of seeds and grains and its so painful watching them go hungry since they wanted to eat the usual food they are used to.  They did manage to eat some but hopefully they will get accustomed to this chicken pellets since it has a lot of vitamins and minerals in it.  These pellets are a little smaller than the regular pellets so my roller pigeons can easily swallow them. 

 I had to buy those 25 lbs bag since they don’t sell 5lbs bag.  If you are planning to feed pellets you don’t need to give them grits.

Got my starter pigeons!

October 11, 2015 By mang nano Leave a Comment

After some extensive searches on the web and phone calls I finally located one master breeder that is close to me.  I can say that 45 minutes drive is close enough compare to waiting for the USPS delivery to call you after 2 day shipping!

It’s a drive well worth is since Gary R. is such a friendly guy and gave me a quick rundown of basic pigeon 101!
