Oddball question

[Snakebiteholloway]

This is an excellent answer, very informative based on experience, and has convinced me to invest. I really want a mated (bonded?) pair. Or a hen, if just a single. Not a real fan of male birds in general. Unless one breeds, they are honestly usually just a waste of space and feed at best, and vicious at worst, just my opinion after dozens of roos have dashed my hopes for a flock daddy. Ok. Pigeon shopping here i come.

Thank you!

We are thinking of expanding our flocks into more than chickens and turkeys. We arent breeders, just love our birds. I'm a beef and pork girl, so our birds live long spoiled lives. 40 chickens, 22 quail and 6 turkeys at the moment.
We've been looking at pigeons and peacocks. The odd question is; comparing pigeons to 1)affectionate turkeys and 2)regular chickens (not physically affectionate but hand-tame) which are they most like? Do they get affectionate if attended closely? Or are they like my quail who want me to refill the feeders and leave quickly? It doesn't really matter if they're affectionate, as I'll probably try at least two IF i can ever find any! But I'd like to know what to expect. Quail have refused to hand-tame, despite my dedicated efforts, for example. Advice?

I’m located in virgina and have a ton of pigeons me and my uncle are rehoming. All her hand fed and are extremely docile
