Vinny: The Pigeon Keeper Of The Bronx [Official Documentary]

This 15-minute documentary brings viewers into the world of breeding and training pigeons through the eyes of New York native, Vinny Outerbridge. This passion is more than a hobby for Outerbridge, who makes the viewer understand about this largely unknown and looked down upon world of raising pigeons.
Viewers learn about the proper care, different breeds, and the several international breeding competitions that Vinny has won.

I'm watching this with teary eyes. Had to let go ofvmy birds back in 1990 in Africa. Was forced to get rid of their pigeon boxes from the roof of our home after a long lecture. Whole issue was I was giving too much time to my pets and not school work. I was so heart broken and wept as I let loose the poor birds at night. They were homeless. They kept coming for about a month sleeping on the roof. I cried helplessly. Went to highschool in a couple of months. Later Went to the University. Became a preacher. Got married. But the pain of letting go of my doves never left. These are amazing creatures. I watched this wonderful video to relive those childhood memories. Now I'm a grown man with the ability to learn and do it right and big. I must do this again. Bird lovers have many things in common: lonesome, artistic, philosophical, spiritual ( you can add some more...)

[@billygiles3276]

I feel your pain man, go for it! Relive the joy you once felt! God bless you.

[@stabbythedoll]

Passionate, heart centered. The birds keep coming home. Home is in the heart, right where the birds are

Its a small world I know this gentleman, he flew a few blocks south of me I flew my birds off the Webster Ave warehouse in the. Bronx back in 1963. Back then there was Paradise lofts, The Millionaire Lofts, Tremont Lofts, there was a coop on each block. After the day every body would show up at Sam’s Pigeon shop on Crotona Ave to talk the sport. Left the Bx many years ago but still remember the good times flying. Thx for these memories

Love this video. Anyone who has something negative to say is jealous that they dont have a hobby that brings happiness daily. This video just makes me smile

[@bernardrainey1690]

I'm about a year into raising pigeons and I'm happy I watched this video.

[@genesiskravitz8621]

I’ve been born and raised in NYC and I didn’t realize how many people actually keep pigeons and take care of them in my city. I never really notice the pigeons because they’re always everywhere but it makes me feel good that there are good people paying them a little love.

[@mantis_monk]

Hello from Queens! Thank you for sharing! ❤🎉😊

[@sbreezle]

Beautiful story. Beautiful birds

[@abigailarizmendi1261]

I helped a wild pigeon on my balcony that has The PMV virus. I think he got the strength to fly today because he wasn't by my window this morning, I've been waiting for him. I see the rest of the flock here but I haven't seen him. I hope he comes back 😔

[@moonmanmigz]

This is amazing it’s like with anything you do full heartedly it becomes a way of life a escape from the everyday

U still flying in 2021?

[@free2betee]

How do you protect the pigeons from Hawks or deter them?

[@PR4U2NV]

Reminds me of my youth in the late 70's early 80's. I too had Tiplets/Griselles and in the Bronx we were kings. Many tried to hook my birds but the thing with Tiplets is that when you have a sharp stock they'll smash right thru pick-up flocks. Love them checkup days too.. Bronx was known for dudes trying to snatch your birds. With so many coops that was the norm. We had hundreds and in one day they all perished on one of the hottest days my boy decided to lock them up for a piece of ass, and when I got back with feed all I saw was a mass murder of birds.

[@TheGrmany69]

Jodido, jodido. The desperation one feels in a situation like this is quite traumatic.

[@monti409]

Dam, so sorry to read about this, I too flew my pigeons off Webster Ave, back in 63 I worked at Sam’s Pet shop ( Joey) some called him Blacky his brother owned the large pigeon shop over on Westfarms Rd. 67 I joined the military and gave up the sport, but it never leaves my heart.

Grizzle=Bars🤔..... I was always taught grizzle was based on the feather color and how it breaks up. To keep it simple grizzle let's say you have a white bird with bronze and blue in it. The bronze feather will be solid bronze as well the blue has a single feather. As too the feather havn bronze and blue in one.?????
