I was walking up the lane towards my car and noticed them across the lane from each other, so I guess there are people who breed fancy pigeons around the city. Does anyone know if they let them out to fly around? These ones that I saw where closed into their houses.

Yes, some do let them fly around - that one at the Pan Am has been there since I was a kid (many many moons ago and we'll leave it at that) and I think those birds (or rather their ancestors) did use to fly around and land on the roof of "their" house, but the "moons" were many and I may not be remembering quite correctly ... ;)

Racing pigeons or what are called "fancy pigeons" which I think are show pigeons.

Pigeon with a death wish flew onto the ledge by the ledge cam after 2am and stayed until after 7am. Nice looking bird - had two coloured bands on its legs - a yellow or yellow-green on one and a green on the other ...
