i was wondering if you can use pine shavings as a nesting material for pigeons... i know straw is preferred, but straw here is a rare commodity, and if i can get some, it's very pricy, to say the least. i was also wondering if they would nest off the ground. mine currently live with my chickens...

One of my friends has a tame Fantail cock, who hangs around on her shoulder without flying off. she has had it from a squab. she says they're one of the easiest pigeons to train. would i be able to train one to do the same thing if i got it as an adult? and if i do, how would i? thanks...
