TUMPAT, Jan 30 — An enterprising trader who painted his pigeons with colours has opened a new door for sustenance when the uniqueness of his ‘Rainbow Pigeons’ caught the public eye.

“I started thinking about how to attract buyers so as to improve my sales which was declining since the monsoon season set in, with only two to four pigeons sold in a day. According to Ismail, he would normally choose a colour mix between pink and blue or pink-red mixed with a pinch of black to be painted on the mature pigeons.

Ismail said that since highlighting the uniqueness of his ‘Merpati Pelangi’, he was now able to sell almost 10 birds a day with a monthly income of nearly RM1,000 per month.“In fact, some of the pigeons obtained are tame, that is, even if they are released into the surrounding area as an attraction for the public, it will not run away even if it flies off, it will return to its original place .
