Stephen Green-Armytage (Photographer) In "Extraordinary Pigeons", Stephen Green-Armytage continues the photographic exploration of birds he began in his popular "Extraordinary Chickens" and the follow-up "Extraordinary Pheasants". Represented are breeds from around the world, including the Nicobar Pigeons of the Congo region, the Philippine Bleeding Hearts Doves (doves are smaller versions of the same family of bird as pigeons), and the German Beauty, Russian Startail and Victoria Crowned Pigeons. As with chickens, pigeons come in many varied and distinctive features, from wattles to boots, crests to spurs. The flamboyant Jacobins wear their lavish white feathers like a boa; the Pouters puff out their chests to absurd lengths and the Helmets sport floppy crowns reminiscent of mop-top 1960s pop groups. <div style="text-align:left; "><A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0571178146/parrotsparadi-21"><IMG SRC="https://ssl-images.amazon.com/images/P/0571178146.02.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0" alt="cover" hspace="3" vspace="3"></A> Racing Pigeons: A Practical Guide to the Sport. Colin Osman. Racing pigeons race over distances up to 800 miles and at speeds varying from 30 to 70 miles per hour, and 29 countries are affiliated to the International Federation of Pigeon Racing. In Great Britain, where there are about 225,000 pigeon fanciers, a large number of people earn their living wholly or partly through the sport and hobby, and "The Racing Pigeon Weekly" (founded in the 1880s by the grandfather of the author of this book) sells approximately 35,000 copies per week. This updated edition of a work first published in 1980 offers wide-ranging coverage of the sport, and general pigeon care. <div style="text-align:left; "><A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861262329/parrotsparadi-21"><IMG SRC="https://ssl-images.amazon.com/images/P/1861262329.02.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0" alt="cover" hspace="3" vspace="3"></A> Racing Pigeons David Glover, Marie Beaumont.
