Emily Pikal, Winthrop: “I like pigeon fancy breeds. They’re fun to work with and really pretty.”
Doug Grams, New Ulm: “They respond to humans. They perk up, dance and sing when you talk to them.”
Richard Okeson, St. Paul: “It’s a great hobby. I’ve enjoyed it my whole life and met a lot of nice people.”

Isaac Marquette, Waverly: “I just like them.”
Roger Hansen, Ashton, S.D.: “I’ve had them since 1960. It’s been a way of life. ... We’ve been to shows all over the U.S. and to Germany five times.”
