    Interested in getting a small flock started.

    There is an American Pigeons FB group that could hook you up with some homer breeders, or one of the breed clubs. EDIT: Sorry, I must've skimmed past the part where you already knew where to get birds, sorry. xD

    Lahore and strasser pigeons

    I don't know about their upkeep, I just hear Fantails mentioned often as having gentle temperaments. Classic Oriental Frills are the breed I've been looking to get soon, and they're supposed to be friendly and easy to keep. The 'Modern' Oriental Frills, however, need surrogates to raise their...

    Lahore and strasser pigeons

    Fantails, Oriental Frills, and Lucernes are also supposed to be among the tamest breeds.

    Basics for House Pigeons

    Here is my current set up. I didn't want to clutter it with too many things. I got a bird lamp for the top and a toy that has paper shreds in it, since I heard pigeons aren't big on toys but maybe paper bits would be fun for them. Would they eat a millet spray if I put one in the holder, too...

    Pigeon Talk

    Air purifiers / HEPA filters are great for dander. But then, at our house we're the sort of nerds that have one in every room. xD There's an Insta account where a guy has like 15 in his apartment, and ngl I wonder how he keeps things looking so nice there. ...Actually I'll think I'll shoot him...

    Pigeon Talk

    You asked why house pigeons are getting more popular, so meant to say that exotic birds are a lot harder to keep yet people still like them in their house, while pigeons are much easier to live with and care for (and there are many pretty breeds of them), so they would appeal to many bird-liking...

    Pigeon Talk

    I mean, the same could be said for every pet bird, no? I actually feel that birds like macaws, cockatoos, and such are far more unsuitable to be housepets, but they have been kept so for hundreds of years. And they are much more emotionally and intellectually complex compared to our...

    Pigeon Talk

    I honestly think the pigeon fancy should pivot toward extolling their virtues as house birds -- maybe the age of huge show and race lofts is on the way out, but I think there are many people who love birds and who don't want the huge commitment of a parrot-type who'd love learning more about all...
