I have always had an interest in birds for the longest time! I started off with a pet parrot that I still currently own, but switched over to also owning a pet pigeon as well. It has been about a month since I have had him and he is still super scared of me and I honestly would love any tips and advice from people that may know more about pigeon care!! I do have a ton of experience owning a parrot (6 years) but owning a pigeon has truly been a whole different experience and I’m scared I’m doing this wrong due to the lack of information on the internet regarding indoor pigeon care :(

I would keep pigeon seed and water close to him at all times.
Some cuddles with him would help him become closer friends with you. I keep my doves inside too. I'll let them "free range" around the house. They do have there spots, that way there isn't poo everywhere 🥰

You set-up looks good, maybe add some more roosting areas and keep him closer to some sunlight?

This is the seed I use for my doves :
Pigeon seed

If I may ask, how did you find him? is he injured?
