Help somethings wrong!?

[Steph lovemybirds]

I have 2 pigeons for two years now. Yesterday afternoon my male seems to be breathing heavy, not open mouthed and he has his tail sort of tucked under and doesn't really want to move around. He's eating ok and drink ing but seems very lethargic. Maybe I'm over reacting but it's odd for him and I can tell his female is concerned as well. Please any advice.

It is hard to know what might be wrong, birds are good at hiding signs of illness until it is quite advanced. Without knowing more about your birds, husbandry practices and climate/environment, I can only suggest you try one of the 3 in one or 4 in one treatments for pigeons that are effective against several different conditions.
This is an example in pill form...

He is a homing pigeon and she is a new York flight. They're on my back porch in a rather large cage. It's not heated but it stays above 30 even on our cold nights, I'm in upstate ny. She just laid an egg yesterday after he started acting this way and usually he's be on it all day he's very good at sitting on them. He hasn't gone on it at all. And she's so worried, she is more about hi m and hasnt either. He maybe a bit overweight he's definitely a large homer. I will follow your advice and get him the 3 in 1, should I give it to her too just incase?

I don't think it would hurt to give her the same course of treatment. Is there anything new in the environment that would bring on extra stress for your birds. Stress can lower immune response and give rise to respiratory and other symptoms

Not really, I did clean their cage yesterday, but that's normal. Plenty of water and food and they're both still pooping plenty.

Does the poop look normal? Any direct drafts blowing on them?

 

[Steph lovemybirds]

It does seem loose very green. no the porch is enclosed, it's wood with big windows so they get sunlight if there's any. I can put a heater out there it has electric if you think he's getting cold? He does even go up on the perch, he's staying down low in the nest at night and out of it during the day. The way he's laying resembles how he lays when they're over heating in the summer but his tail pointing down so it looks like a bump almost.

Post some pictures of the poop, theres experienced folks here who might be able to see what's wrong based on that.
Cold is fine but direct drafts on them are not especially when they're sleeping. Still air thats in the negatives is better than just below freezing and having a draft blow on them. It ruffles their feathers and makes them colder. If you can stand on the porch and not feel a breeze on your skin then it should be fine. If that's not the case you could always enclose the coop in some clear plastic or something. Best of luck!
