This group was created to discuss the Valencian Figurita, a very small breed of pigeon that is gaining in popularity. Breeding, Showing, and improvement of this spunky little bird is the main purpose of this group. Basic knowledge of pigeon keeping and care is assumed.
From the standard: This ancient breed originated in Valencia, Spain. A tiny, petite, jaunty, and lively frill necked pigeon. Its forehead is angular, the top skull is flat, and the back skull is angular. Weight 4 to 6 ounces.
There are few birds available that fit the standard, especially in regards to size. Lets work together to change that.
PLEASE NOTE: This list is intended for serious breeders and showers, and is not meant for discussion of pet pigeons and basic care. Please check out the other Yahoo Groups available for those discussions. Also, please keep off-topic posts to a minimum. No 'petition' posts or similar.
