An idea I’ve been toying with a while. Here’s a thread to show off your pigeons! All breeds, colors, mutations, mixes, and ferals welcome! I know we have some members with uncommon breeds such as Egyptian Swifts, Afghans, and others. My giant runts, I think the hen has a good deal of...

Well for the first time in about six years of pigeon keeping I finally have mites. Cleaning the loft out today after being on vacation for ten days and there are hundreds if not thousands of very small reddish brown mites all over the floor. I didn’t see any in perches or nest boxes but that...

This is actually a roof on a pigeon loft but, close enough right? So when I originally built this because the coop is 4 ft wide I made the roof exactly 4 feet as well to save material on the plastic sheeting (which comes in 8 foot sections) or else I’d be wasting like 40% of each sheet if I...

Does anyone know of any breeders of the triangular spotted pigeon aka speckled pigeon in the USA? I know Stromberg’s sells them at very limited quantity. Thanks!

After a year of extremely intensive house sparrow control I finally have bluebirds nesting at my house in relative safety. Anyone else provide nest boxes for their favorite species?

Something tore the legs off my scarecrow lol Whatever did it gathered all the material up afterward and didn’t leave any mess. I’m comfortable ruling out a dog because of the lack of mess and lack of dogs. Maybe a squirrel gathering bedding for winter?

About three hours ago this troublemaker escaped while I was cleaning the loft and immediately got nailed by a Cooper's. Luckily I was able to chase the hawk off before it killed or seriously injured her but his talons did manage to make a small puncture on the underside of her wing. She can...

As promised here's a thread on my new birds. I'll probably be posting any updates on them as well as specific questions I have in here. Here's the best shot I have of all seven right now. I have one white, one black, two blue bars, a blue check, and a pair of grizzled siblings. They were...

Hi all, I joined around this time last year with some questions pertaining to pigeons. I'm finally back with a new loft design hopefully to be completed this week or next week. I'm still having trouble finding squeakers so if anyone in Rhode Island or the surrounding area has or plans to have...

Hi everybody, I've been doing more research about the pigeons I plan to get come spring and have come across many of the bird mite horror stories out there on the internet. Honestly I'm a little worried about having to go through the same thing. My loft and aviary are planned to be only about 15...

Hi all! A few months ago I found a pigeon with an injured wing at night and cared for him for a few days. Long story short I sent him back to his owner in a neighboring state and the experience rekindled an interest in pigeons I've had. I've been doing a ton of research however I have a few...
