DangOh, I already named him Meet Smorgasbord/S’mores!
I put Bagel out in the aviary while cleaning her cage and she instantly crouched and let a random male pigeon mate with her!? (The random male being RB.) I’m glad her poor mate wasn’t there to see that, since I put him in after her.Neet Neet, who is definitely not the boss of the aviary but thinks he is. View attachment 3462910View attachment 3462908
Bagel, one of my newest rescues (she is missing half her beak) has fallen in love with my stringfoot pigeon… which is unfortunate, because I may have found her a home with other pigeons with beak disabilities, and her mate wouldn’t be able to come with her.

(Those are fake eggs, I definitely don’t need them reproducing )
This one is a newer rescue who amazingly recovered from a massive hole in his crop! However, even though he eats well, whenever I feel his crop it’s small and tight and I can barely feel any seeds, so I don’t think he’s releasable.

I recently had more pigeons than usual in my aviary (a few were rehab pigeons and have been released) and I’m starting to think that 12 is probably the aviary’s limit if I want to avoid overcrowding. So, ideally, I would like to find homes for the newest unreleasables. This is difficult in general, but will be even more so since they are the most unwanted type of pigeon; feral, (slightly) disabled, and untame. Fortunately, I’ll probably be expanding the aviary in a few months, but I also might have even more pigeons by then.

Also, the pigeon with the huge crop injury may actually be releasable, which I’m pretty excited about! However, she’s a female and also chose my one-eyed male as her mate.
I’m used to the males being so flirtatious, but I’ve never seen a mated female let another male mate with herPigeons don’t appear to be able to survive outside of a relationship for 2 minutes.
Well, it sounds pretty, at any rateI recently made a post on a local site about pigeons for adoption (not including Neet Neet, Quin, or Wraith, who are my permanent pigeons). However, instead of rehoming any pigeons, I instead was asked to take on another one.
The pigeon is a lonely German owl whose mate was killed by a bird of prey. It appears that the owner has been trying to rehome him for quite a while without success.
Lol, Biff is mean too.Trust me, they climb the wire even with plenty of perches. XDView attachment 3577127

Oh, I got the german owl pigeon! He’s the meanest bird I’ve ever met, despite the fact that he looks like.. that. View attachment 3577129
Oh, the German owl isn’t mean to other pigeons, he’s mean to me.Lol, Biff is mean too.
I wasn’t expecting the males to be so territorial, but it turns out their favorite activity is fighting and cooing, lol. Even the baby pigeon cock has started trumpeting back to Biff.
