the only place that comes to mind is west country kennels in Glencoe.  I'm sure Brian will be happy to help.

I accually made some cheap box traps and put it under the bridge near my house. I would end up with a couple a week. Just make sure you clean them up before you let you dog at it. And don't let anyone catch you.

I have heard elsewhere (but have not looked into it myself) that you can buy them from MN Horse & Hunt club.  Might be worth a call.

FYI... for you guys that havent used pigeons for traing before, when ya inquire about it to these people who sell them, make sure they are what you call "flyers"... if they arent, you'll get the fancy tailed cast offs they dont want... they dont fly well, and no matter how cheap, they aint worth a red cent for dog training....
