    141. A New Flyer’s Journey Into the Pigeon Hobby

    In this episode of the All About Pigeons Podcast, Phillip sits down with Joshua Toy, a brand new pigeon flyer doing something truly unique: keeping and flying pigeons from a rooftop loft in Philadelphia. Joshua shares the challenges of getting started in the hobby without club connections, building and rebuilding rooftop lofts, dealing with predators in the city, harsh winter weather, breeding issues, and learning through trial and error. From homing pigeons to Archangels and Old German Owls, this conversation dives into what it’s really like being a beginner pigeon keeper trying to figure things out in an urban environment. The episode also explores the importance of pigeon clubs, online communities, old pigeon literature, predator proofing, rooftop loft design, and the excitement of eventually free flying birds in the city skyline. Joshua also talks about his rooftop pigeon livestream project, Dove Love Loft, where viewers can follow along with his growing flock and loft journey. A great episode for new flyers, rooftop pigeon enthusiasts, and anyone interested in urban pigeon keeping. www.pigeonpod.com #Pigeons #PigeonFlying #RooftopLoft #HomingPigeons #UrbanPigeons #PigeonPodcast #Philadelphia #PigeonKeeping #FancyPigeons #AllAboutPigeons

    140. Pigeon Policies with Bill Weima

    Returning guest Bill Weima joins the All About Pigeons Podcast for an important discussion about pigeon policies, bylaws, and regulations affecting pigeon fanciers across North America. Bill shares his firsthand experience dealing with municipal enforcement in Ontario, Canada, where local officials attempted to classify racing pigeons as livestock under zoning regulations. We discuss how these policies impact the hobby, why pigeon keepers need to stay informed, and the importance of education, community outreach, and working together to protect the future of pigeon keeping.

    In this episode, I sit down with Gene Giegoldt, the NBRC’s Band Secretary and Pedigree Historian.

Along the way, Gene shares stories from decades in the hobby and gives a real look at what pedigrees mean and why they still matter today.

    136. A New Voice in the Hobby "The Racing Pigeon Podcast" with Kevin Miller

    In this episode I sit down with Kevin Miller from the Racing Pigeon Podcast and get into how his journey in birds led him straight into pigeon racing and eventually into podcasting. Kevin started out raising parrots and running a full-scale bird business before stepping away and later finding his way into racing pigeons. We talk about what it was like getting started in the hobby, learning from top flyers, and how quickly things can take off when you find the right mentors. Kevin shares how the idea for his podcast came together, what he is trying to build with it, and the challenges that come with growing something in a niche like pigeons. This is a good one if you are new to racing pigeons or if you have been around the hobby for a while and want to hear how someone else came up through it. There is a lot in here about growth, learning, and finding ways to bring more people into the pigeon world. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585312002018 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7g5yDKziXPHAJ43gpya8WM?si=odp2vE-ZR06BqAyM-kWdpQ www.pigeonpod.com
