show pigeons (near the house)

Many people keep show pigeons as attractive and pleasant animals in the aviary, on the dovecote or in the courtyard. Many enjoy their appearance just as much as their comings and goings. They are nice animals to look at. They can easily get used to people, and tame pigeons even come to you, especially if they are fed at regular times with the right feed. For all of these pigeons Garvo has three excellent standard complementary mixtures: 5441 ornamental doves standard, 5426 turtle dove standard or 5590 shortbeak standard. In addition Garvo has a wide selection of specific, complete and supplementary feeds.
