Hello!
I adopted a rescued racing pigeon (she didn't make it home, was found in the mouth of a cat, wasn't claimed and was taken in by a local rescue) back in February. I have found a sad lack of information on keeping pigeons and doves as pets. Topics like what to feed them (she's a picky...
Hey there all!
I'm back with more pigeon questions! Since I first bought Portuguese tumblers 3 years ago, I have absolutely fallen in love with pigeons! Now I've got a loft full of white Homers and a smaller loft for my Ports. I love to watch them dive and swoop (although I've yet to see any...
Unsexed homing pigeon. Over a year old. It used to slap me but now it bites. Not pecking but biting. He will usually do this when he's in the same room as his cage. He sleeps in the cage at night and has food and water, other than that he gets a whole bedroom. I try to hand feed him but he...
My pigeon has multiple nodules over the beak and the surrounding the eyes. They are of variable size. It cannot fly but can walk well.Is it a pox or what? How this condition can be treated?
Hey all, I posted over in Injuries/Diseases/Emergencies the other day when I found myself with a pigeon who was attacked by a raccoon. This is that thread: Raccoon attacked pigeon /pictures of wounds
I came here to ask about everything. Housing, feed, general care, etc. Also if anyone knows...
There was a commotion in the horse shed and I had one of the young pigeons fall towards me. It has its adult feathers but still peeps. I’ve looked after pigeons before but never had to do any doctoring on them. It struggled to fly back up and it had some feathers missing so I grabbed it and saw...

Hi,
I'm not at all experienced in rescuing animals and am not very familiar with birds, so I'm hoping someone can help me with an injured feral pigeon.
He/she cannot stand, but otherwise seems in good health. There are no obvious injuries I can see, it doesn't feel emaciated and is defecating...
Hi,
I'm not at all experienced in rescuing animals and am not very familiar with birds, so I'm hoping someone can help me with an injured feral pigeon. I apologise in advance if this post is misplaced, I realise a pigeon is not a chicken but I really need some guidance.
He/she cannot stand...
I just recieved my pigeons yesterday, 17 of them, i was wondering about the change in climate, the pigeons came from Nevada and im all the way up in Maine, these birds are use to 60-70 degree days, we are having warm spell right now up here so its around 40 degrees. But will drop back down to 15...
Today when I was out watching my pigeons, all a suddenly I saw this mature blue bar walking on the ground. I looked up to the tree seeing my blue bar squeaker and looked down to see the pigeon had disappeared, so I walked to the other side and there it was. It flew up into a tree where my other...
So I'm in the middle of researching pigeons, their food, their lofts, and the like. Many say that they let their pigeons fly free during the day and the birds return in the evening for their second feeding. I am interested in fancier's breeds, probably not homing pigeons, so would fancier...
