    Anyone selling pigeons/doves?

    I have doves occasionally and have my first pigeon baby but I’m too far from you. Good luck finding someone close or that is comfortable shipping.

    Some questions. New to pigeons.

    The only thing I can add is that I have a flock of Ringneck doves and they get along well. No deaths etc from fighting. The males will have cooing battles but have not attacked each other but it could happen if you have a territorial male. Also the doves that have been raised together get along...

    Do doves always hatch 2 chicks, one of each gender?

    So far my chicks have always been one of each but I guess anything is possible.

    Cockatiel questions

    I have raised mine as babies and mine turned on each other violently out of no where and on the rest of the flock. They were all babies at the same time. Cockatiels, greenie, two quakers. My bird has missing toes to confirm it. They all got along well with no issues and then hormones hit and...

    Cockatiel questions

    The one thing you need to be careful of if you try to mix species is sometimes it doesn’t work and they really shouldn’t share a cage. Budgies can be good housemates but can also bully cockatiels as they are quite docile compared to the fiery personality of little budgies. A have had friendly...

    So I have my first baby pigeon hatchling

    I just started reading the pigeon talk thread from the beginning and saw the archangels and some other pigeon that looks painted. Incredible! I could color my white Ringnecks :D jk Good luck convincing her to share room with the Rabbits!

    So I have my first baby pigeon hatchling

    Exactly, right? My husband as sweet as he is, sides with the doc because DOCTOR. It’s been frustrating dealing with him making my birds out to be the enemy and me to be selfish. I will never win this battle unfortunately but I do appreciate people that understand! :love Have I said I really like...

    I get that and appreciate your response :love I asked this strange question because I was wondering which option would be better for the welfare of the pigeon squabs if anyone has an opinion either way.

    So I have my first baby pigeon hatchling

    I will not have her hand feed them. She doesn’t know how although she would be capable. I have hand fed, although cockatiels not doves or pigeons, but I have that leisure. She works a lot. I would wait til I felt they were ready to leave and I was confident they would be ok on their own. This in...

    So I have my first baby pigeon hatchling

    Another question- My sister is planning on taking my next dove babies and also wants the baby pigeon squab. They will be house birds. Should I let her take both pigeon squab assuming they both make it or should she just take one being it will be a house pigeon? She is buying them ( dove/pigeon)...

    So I have my first baby pigeon hatchling

    Ok That makes perfect sense. I normally have doves in a nesting basket/ other birds in a basket or box when I had babies. Some I would do a fast clean because it was recommended but normally I would clean up around the nest. The pigeons do not have a nest box or any bowl etc and their cage (no...

    So I have my first baby pigeon hatchling

    Really? Ok thanks for the heads up. I’ve always handled my dove squab and cockatiel chicks. My doves do fine with it and my tiels were co parented by me and did well. I wonder why pigeons are more fussy.
