Subject: pigeon fancy/fancy pigeons


Hello all,

I apologize for being somewhat off-topic, but since one sort of bird
person often knows other sorts of bird people, and since this IS in the
interest of all things avian (or at least aviary-an), I will go ahead
and ask:

Does anyone know any nice pigeon fanciers in or near Seattle? I am
working on a chapter for my current book on Darwin's involvement with
the fancy in his time, and hope to complement the nineteenth century
material with a look at modern pigeon breeding. I'm looking for
breeders of fancy pigeons, rather than homing/racing pigeons.

Thanks so much, and please respond personally.
