Didn't want to eat.

I've got 25 pigeons. Usually they all pile into the feed when I feed them. Today only about half fed. The rest stayed on their perches. The last couple of days we've had nothing but snow & rain. No sunlight at all. The loft is draft free. Temperatures at night in the upper 20's-30's. I lost a bird last night. I examined the dead bird everything looked good to me, granted I am new to this pigeons thing. Love it! Is there anything I need to worry about? By the way, I clean the loft every other day. Clean water every day.

I don't know that much about pigeons but if a few more die you should go to your local vet

I'd be concerned that so many birds have stopped eating. I would take the next evidently ill or dead bird to my state poultry pathologist.

Not sure what kind of setup you have, is it possible a predator like a cat or hawk was bothering them? I have a few where if a hawk takes a swing at them in the aviary they freeze up and are reluctant to do much of anything. Even if placed on the ground with the food they're too tense to eat. If you lose any more I would be concerned and take the advice given above. Best of luck

No others have died. So far so good

 

[sourland]

Are the birds eating normally ?

 

[cavemanrich]

How are your birds doing now?

I medicated with dewormer and later a 3 and 1. Everyone seems to be happy. They're all eating fine now.
