Pigeon Talk

Hung out with some beach pigeons today, these guys are definitely living the life

Well, the pigeon that I thought was egg bound, but then decided it was something else, died. I had given it a 4 in 1 tab, and it seemed a bit better yesterday, and even this morning, but I suppose it wasnt. I wish I would have brought it inside to give it a better chance, although I was worried about stressing it out.

I am very sorry, she was so pretty and tame. I doubt bringing her in would make a difference.

I'm sorry about her. Sometimes they just get sick and there isn't much you can do. How old was she?

I've had boomer a year today! Wow! I can't believe how far I've come in such a short space of time. And it's thanks to you guys especially @Hokum Coco @biophiliac and @cavemanrich who helped my transition from non pigeon owner to full-on enthusiast!

Wow, happy anniversary!
You can eat their eggs, right? Have you tried listing any for sale?

Oh no! We all know you tried everything you could. I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a beauty!

I noticed Bonnie hasn’t laid her second egg. It’s been 4 days since I saw the first egg.
Maybe I should take that one if she doesn’t lay another one today? Or maybe she just wants one?

Trip and Rocky’s pair both look great. Growing well.
Eclipse and Egan, 10 days old yesterday.

Dazzle is doing well too. Alone but seems to be ok. This was last week

I'd probably leave it. If you take it and she lays another and then return it she could lay another and end up with three. If that makes sense! The babies look great and Dazzle looks to be doing really good. Are the rest leaving him/her alone?

Yea I guess I’ll let her sort it out.

Dazzle does really well. Mostly stays in one corner by herself, but ventures out to the feeders with mom and dad. Maybe s/he will buddy up with Brick and Brewer soon. They are small birds, but doing really well too.

She was a 2017 hatch. She didn't pair till 4 months ago.

Looking good! I would just leave the egg, one of my rollers pairs seems to only like raising one squab at a time.
