Florida Pigeon Fanciers' Show Celebrates the Joy of Pigeons
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2007 -- Many people are pigeon aficionados who see the often hated bird as much more than nuisance begging for food and soiling sidewalks. In fact, a gathering of pigeon (http://www.deterapigeon.com/faqs.htm) lovers took place recently in Florida at the Sunshine State Pigeon Fanciers' show.
Many attending the show are pigeon hobbyists who enjoy raising the birds and getting the opportunity to mingle with others just like them. "Raising pigeons is a hobby that's been in my family for three generations," comments Bob Smyth from Pensacola, FL. "This is my first time attending a pigeon show and I really enjoyed learning more about my relaxing pastime," he concluded.
The show, held at the Bocchino Community Center in Langford Park in Jensen Beach, Florida attracted 26 exhibitors that displayed over 400 pigeons to be judged, purchased and admired. The birds are judged for its color, shape and wings.
Although the judging is an integral part of the show, it is not the primary purpose. According to the organizer, Fred Hencken, he wants people attending the show to have fun and hopefully encourage a few more people to take up the hobby.
"As a purveyor of humane pigeon control (http://www.deterapigeon.com/pigeon_control.htm) methods, I'm always so thrilled when I hear about shows like the one just held in Florida. Pigeons really are wonderful birds and the more people learn about them, the more likely they will seek out humane pigeon control methods that don't harm the birds," mentions Davey Jones from DeterAPigeon.
"Besides raising pigeons as a hobby, pigeons that congregate in city centers also have a benefit of pleasing deprived inner city children who often get little to no exposure to animals and nature," Jones continues. "Pigeons deserve so much more respect than they get."
Anyone interested in learning more about raising pigeons as a hobby is encouraged to research pigeon fancier groups in their city or town. Any homeowner or building owner interested in learning more about effective pigeon control (http://www.deterapigeon.com/articles.htm) methods should visit the DeterAPigeon website for more information.
