Expert Profile: Stacie G.

Expertise: I can answer questions related to health, care, behavior, and breeding. If you have an emergency situation, please take it to a veterinarian with avian experience. Unfortunately I do not know much about actually racing pigeons, but I do show exhibition king pigeons.

Experience in the area
I have raised pigeons for approximately 12 years now. I got started in the hobby by rescuing an injured feral when I was 12 years old and successfully rehabilitated him. Unfortunately, he was not releasable and so I kept him until he passed about two years ago. From that feral, I actually realized that pigeons were great companions and I had dismissed any previous misconceptions I had heard about them. Now I am focusing my attention to the show king although I do have a few racing homers, utility kings, and MFC helmets.

Organizations
National Pigeon Association American King Club

Education/Credentials
Mainly self-taught with my own experiences, but I have supplemented my knowledge with books and information from NPA and AKC.

Awards and Honors
Numerous Best of Breed and Reserve of Breed in 4-H shows; Two Best in Shows acquired while in 4-H. (7 years ago!) Best of Show and Reserve of Show in county fair
