I love Boomer!
Long live King Boomer, Queen Beau, and the little prince and princess!

Here is the long awaited first picture of both royal babies! I had to entice boomer off with sunflower hearts again!

The coronation will be on Sunday when they will be adorned with these golden bands to signify the union between man and pigeon!

There numbers have been chosen!

I have tube feed baby finches, squabs, pigeons, and all ages of all poultry, but I don't have any videos of me doing it.

I can never get your screen name right when I want to tag you.

Nice looking babies

Two hours now and she has kept the peas down. Fingers crossed.
In other news I now only have two cocks and one hen in the loft. My dominant cock bird (the one in my avatar) has begun courting the hen. I saw him feeding her this morning and he has been following her around constantly. Unfortunately for the other cock he is SOL if I can't get the other poor hen feeling better. At least he didn't pair up with the other hen, as that one is his sister.

I could spray a perch in gold for them!

Did you see the bird vomited the peas and corn she gave? I'm not sure what's causing that.

yes I did. Often they will vomit up hard and cold food. And I thought that she was feeding frozen peas. I also wondered is they were hanging in the throat, so the pigeon would need to throw them up to clear the windpipe. That's why I said to make sure it gets to the crop. But the more recent postings have said that qwerty has been doing this, and the pigeon STILL is puking. So idk either

I'm a he.
The first time I fed her I gave her canned corn that was at room temperature because I didn't have any frozen peas or corn. Last night I gave her peas that I thawed in hot water, but they did cool down a bit as I was feeding them to her since I drained the water. This morning I fed her the peas and brought them out to her in the bowl full of warm water, so hopefully keeping them nice and warm did the trick.
I'm not sure if she has an obstruction from the kinked neck that prevents food getting from the crop to the stomach, but it can get from her mouth to the crop just fine. She has also been puking one to three hours after feeding, so I imagine if they were getting caught in her throat she'd choke on them long before that.
