    The pigeons & I

    I love nature, I love gardening , I love birds and yes I love pigeons! When I care for a baby animal all my motherly instincts flourish and I become a critter mom. A couple of years ago I find a pigeon chick who falls from it's nest; tooked him home and hand feed him until he was old enough to...

    New bird is sick

    Hey guys! So my new Figuritas arrived a few days ago and look awesome and are super chill. Except their breeder had them attend a show the days before he shipped them out and it appears the hen caught some thing :/ I looked in her mouth and along her throat and don't see any signs of canker...

    What breed is my pigeon?

    So i’m new to pigeons. Last Saturday we picked up this little guy from the shelter. Obviously a juvenile because of the little squeaks he makes but it’s super super super friendly. I just want to know what breed do you guys think he is? I had someone say they thought he was a street pigeon but...

    Lice!

    So I got a rescued racing homer pigeon the other week, and today I was handing him as normal when I got home from work and I felt something crawling on me. It was two long, thin bugs. I googled, and sure enough, they're feather lice. They look exactly like this...

    Adopting a racing pigeon tomorrow!

    One of my old friends whom I haven't heard from in years contacted me last evening. She said that they found a lost racing pigeon in their yard a while back, and have been caring for it ever since. They checked his leg bands (he has 3), and he's apparently from NY, but they don't want to send...

    Best pigeon food?

    I have a female pigeon (around 4 or 5 months old now I'd say), whom I rescued when she was around 2 weeks old. She was originally wild, but had fallen out of her nest in our barn, and I was unable to put her back in it as it was too high up. Anyways, I was wondering what the best food was to be...

    How to make a loft bird a house bird?

    Hi guys! So this month we decided to sell our homer flock to a couple who wanted their first birds after finishing their own loft. I decided this due to the increasingly constant hawk threat(I see it every other day now and it killed 3 birds that got out when I was gone for 2 weeks) and the fact...

    Baby with Leg Problem?

    My two and a half weeks old squab has one leg that splays awkwardly out to the side. He has a very hard time walking on it because it slips outwards, but manages just fine in the nest. He's gotten his fair share of crop milk and is bigger than his nestmate, but I'm concerned about how he will...

    "I'm not a boy, mom!"

    Long story short: I rescued a baby pigeon that was found on the floor of my barn a few months ago now. Decided to keep the pigeon, as it wouldn't have survival instincts being raised by a human. He does great and has adapted well to indoor life (though I do take him outside with me a lot!)...

    Pigeon louse flies

    I'm having an issue with pigeon mites, more specifically pseudolynchia canariensis, the pigeon louse fly. Are there any good safe products that I can use for their loft and on them?

    Breeding pigeons

    So I learned that pigeons only stick with one mate. And so I want to mate certain ones because I keep getting the same colors. My question is, can I just put two pigeons together and hope that they breed? I have heard that they can fight each other and that I should keep them separated but next...

    Squab Help

    Hi again, it's me with the Ports. I may have mentioned this in previous posts, but due to a mistake on my supplier's end, I ended up with three hens and one cock. Technically, the cock is paired with a specific hen, but he does naughty things with all of them. All three hens have been on eggs...

    Releasing rescued pigeon?

    A few weeks ago, I went into our barn to get some straw for my geese. I noticed something moving on the floor of the barn - a very young pigeon. Way too young to be out of its nest. As we have stray cats in the area, I didn't want to leave it there to die. The nests were all very high up in the...
