152. Pigeons in India: Mookees, Monsoons, and a Growing Hobby

In this episode of All About Pigeons, we travel across the world to Kerala, India, for a conversation with Mookee breeder Sham of the Mookee Fanciers Association.

Sham introduces us to the ancient Indian Mookee pigeon, a fascinating breed known for its distinctive markings, proud posture, and characteristic neck shaking movement. We discuss the growing community of specialty pigeon clubs in India, how Indian breeders are learning about show standards and color genetics, and the work being done to improve and preserve their native breeds.

We also explore the challenges of keeping pigeons in Kerala’s intense summer heat and lengthy monsoon season, the limited availability of pigeon medicines and imported birds, and the traditional remedies some Indian fanciers use to care for their lofts.

From Mookees and Indian Fantails to highflying competitions and native breeds rarely seen outside the country, this episode offers a fascinating look inside India’s growing pigeon hobby and the passionate young breeders helping to shape its future.
