How to Get Rid of Fantail Pigeons in Oregon

Due to their large outspread tails, fantail pigeons need lofts designed with the width of their tails in mind. For this reason, it is best to find organizations or people with experience with fancy pigeons such as fantails to which you can donate your birds. Depending on how many birds you have, you may need to contact several organizations to find homes for them all.
