Pigeon Catching

Ahh got it! On the subject of weather, do they do well in heat/humidity? I will have a little bird bath for them by summer, but do they have difficulty during southern summers?

My birds here in middle TN are fine in the summers. Just more likely to get sick though. As long as you keep up with care,,, cleaning, changing eater, feeding, etc they will be fine.

I think changing their water with nice clean fresh daily will keep pigeons healthy quite well. I kept a bowl of water (big enough to bathe) in my aviary during summer, and changed it out daily. I still provided them with additional water bowls inside loft for drinking. (too small for bathing)
My thinking,,,,,,, if they are bathing,, then they will also gulp down some of that water and drink it. If it's clean, then it's safer.

Yes... Mine always taste their bathwater before bathing. As does @biophiliac flock.

Thanks guys! Hmmm off topic, but is there a topic where people can show off their aviaries on the dove and pigeon section? If not, should I make one? I was thinking that others could get aviary/loft inspiration like people get for their chickens from the coop pages.

I will make it! I'll add my own aviary pictures once I clean it up
