Has anyone of you ever seen a pigeon with feathery feet?

I tried to get a better shot of this one, but that’s the Best I could manage.

    You saw a feather footed flying feces flinger and din't kill it?
    Bird flu.
    (don't you just love the little joke the virus scientists are playing on us... bird flew...bird flu...)

    Told you I've seen some funky birds ;)

    Actually yes, I have seen them before. Those flying rats are so friggin' mutated it's unreal. But on the Discover Channel they did a thing on racing pigeons and the feathers on the feet are a mark of some breed. They circle when the poop too!

    I'm forver grateful for Firefox auto spellcheck ;)

    I raise pigeons and while I don't breed this type, I can tell you there are a couple of breeds of show pigeons that have foot feathers-one is a lahore and another is the trumpeter. But the color of this one is not right for either of those 2 so maybe it is the offspring of one of these breeds that mated with a wild pigeon. These breeds are very expensive and most owners wouldn't let them out in the wild but they do escape from time to time and this one may be the result of something like that.

    A sincere thank you, Brian.
    Learned something again.
    I've never known anything like that existed.

    There are various bird towers a bit outside of the city.
    I guess her ancestors came from there :)

    Now that you mention it, I think I've seen the chicken with the feathery feet.

    I do seem to remember the feather foot chickens, but it still look strange

    Yepp, strikes me as weird every time too ;)

    Ptarmigans, the white birds we have here in northern Canada, have feathery feet. Maybe this bird is a long-lost cousin.
