    Diamond doves

    If the birds the shops get are already diseased , then the shop is not very responsible and they are buying from disreputable vendors. More likely they just don't want to be bothered as doves are rather flighty and blow dirt all over flapping their wings. Again, if the shop is buying good birds...

    Diamond doves

    Don't post BS when it is only your opinion and not borne out by facts. not many issues are comm0on to doves/pigeons and other birds kept i n captivity. As long as they are from a reliable source and the shop is properly maintained, there is no reason not to buy from them.

    Diamond doves

    check local pet shops. Because of the small size they often have access to diamond doves. Other than that, google search

    Relentless Hawk...Help!!

    find a kid in your neighborhood with some good friecrackers. Blowing them off right under where the hawk is will scare the daylights out of them.

    my new mookees

    Hate to break it to you, but that is not a Mookee. It is a domestic flight.

    Looking to buy White Kings - utlilty

    First thing is to get off the chicken site and start looking for pigeons for sale. Google is your friend. The best thing would be to find a show in your area and attend. Kings are not particularly rare and you might find some right in your area.

    To old to rehome?

    Saddle homers are bred for showing and have almost no homing ability. I would never put them on the road as the odds are they will NOT come back. Just keep them and enjoy. You can free fly them around home as long as they are well settled into your loft.

    rescued pigeon

    Contrary to your humble opinion, it is in fact a racing homer. You cannot tell by looking at the eyes. You should be more careful about posting incorrect information.

    found homing pigeon

    Not to sound harsh, but the whole idea of a homing pigeon is they have to go home. There are many reasons why some never make it. At any rate, the bird is of no value to the previous owner because he/she did not "home". Now you have choices - keep it, find it another home, or just let it...

    What kind of mite, how do i kill them?

    They are feather lice. Instead of messing around with stuff for chickens or whatever go to a pigeon supply company like Foy's and get a product safe to use on pigeons. They are not really harmful except they eat holes in the feathers .

    Looking for Nikolaevski and Volgas

    I have raised pigeons for 60 years and have never heard of either of these. My guess is that these are foreign names for varieties which may or may not be here in the U.S. It will be necessary to understand what these particular varieties are. Where are you getting the names from?

    Looking for saxon sheild's

    First thing is to get off the chicken site and start looking at pigeon sites. Google "pigeons for sale" for starters. Shields are fairly rare and expensive and I doubt you want to spend that kind of money for 4H pigeons. The common varieties can be had for reasonable prices and you may find some...

    Outdoor aviary birds?

    Pigeons would be fine as the cold does not bother them. We are not talking about exotic kinds here but the kinds most people call "pigeons". Ringneck doves are also fine and come in a wide variety of colors and are easy to keep and breed. Usually you will be overrun with them. Mourning doves...
