Wills and Kate! Or Harry and meghan!

I could spray a perch in gold for them!

And I saw a couple “she” references, is this incorrect?

 

[biophiliac]

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 agree with you about the temp, I try to feed them warm-ish.

There numbers have been chosen!

OMG! They are great and what a beautiful birth announcement. I am crying tears of joy! Congrats to all.

Also I am so excited to announce Doba makes further progress! Excuse the photo bomb, I could hardly believe my eyes....

She has not been able to reach this higher perch since her injury. You can see she till has scarring on the right side of her neck.

I've just finished doing my evening rounds and whilst I was checking the pigeons I believe I have found who #65 (female) is paired with. #66 her brother! Not great. But seeing as I'm not wanting them to breed anyway it doesn't matter. So I now have a paired father and daughter and now a brother and sister! If I manage to get a larger loft I'm going to have to buy in some birds. Any excuse to get more birds!

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.

Oops. I did know that!!! I promise. I don't know why I put she! I'm sorry!

I'm trying to remember... it was almost 4 months before she went back to the loft. It's been at least a couple more months. I'll have to check back on pigeon bulletin board to see when I first posted about it.

Either way, you were an awesome doctor! Good job!
