The dovecotes are the "beehives" on the roofs.
The birds I saw in Turkey, especially in and around the city of Urfa, fascinated me so much that I got back some descendants of a popular Middle Eastern breed, the "Msawwad" (black) dewlap, that I had years ago. (Mine were from Lebanon). These handsome birds fly for hours above eastern cities from Egypt to Kurdistan-- I saw them there-- and then dive vertically to their home lofts like falcons. I never quite got the knack of training them but I am going to try again.

Steve, I like your Dewlaps.Where did you get them from? I breed and fly Dewlaps, Lebanons, and Egyptain Swifts. I am looking some more Msawwads.
They are descended from Christian Otrajki's Lebanese birds. We only have a few, but if you have a different strain we could probably breed you some and trade.
I would be interested in your training methods.
Steve, sorry it took so long to get back to you. Christian was a good freind of mine. I got some of my Lebanons from him. My Dewlaps are Adana type from Turkey. We moved in Nov. and I lost many of my blacks. I am down to 2 pair. I hope to raise some this year and would trade with you.
I'll get some phots to you.
Hi Bill-- I'd love to trade some. I saw these black (Msawwad) types in Turkey near Urfa. Give me an address and email when you get a chance.

Steve, it's been a while...checking things out here on the Dewlaps and see some new post. Is that Duane T. from KY? My Adana bloodline came from him and he taught me a lot about them. There are many good websites out there from Turkey and Germany on Dewlaps, one needs to know alittle of the language. German I can get around but not Turkish. Its too bad they have a lot of info on them,and great pics.
Well I also started a website on Dewlaps, http://www.geocities.com/adanawammen/index.html
I am not an expert but I thought it was needed here in the states, also maybe get in contact with Dewlap breeders from around the world to share ideas. What do you think?
Bill-- that was Duane but I haven't heard back.
Enjoyed your site. Let me know your email!
