Glad they made it back! Looks like you might have a new pigeon

It is a nice bird. I could do with another female too!

Any idea whats going on here?
The squabs are pooping up a storm but all is well with them, while the parents have had this on and off for about a week. I added some ACV to the water and it seemed to clear up but in these last two days its returned. I should have taken a better photo but the poop is separated into many smaller bits instead of a solid mass.

That looks normal to me. Mine did some pretty nasty looking poohs. So long as the parents are eating well and feeding them and they seem OK I wouldn't worry.

Yes. He's coming to pick it up tomorrow evening. How are you getting on with building your new loft?

working on the final touches! Just need to shingle a bit, and right now I'm working on box perches. I think I'm gonna have 20 box perches.

@slorider18 how are your squabs doing? Or are they now sqeakers?

Lol. I was just thinking about what a terrible friend I've been because I've been gone. I really appreciate you asking. I only had one egg hatch. The other broke and didn't make it. My young bird is doing great though. It's about 45 days old and is fluttering around when I let it out. I haven't taken it for a training toss yet as it doesn't seem to be a very strong flyer. I probably need to let it out more often. Since it's all alone I'm not sure if I should fly my cock birds with it (they have homed to my loft, not the hens....long story).

I actually just discovered over the weekend that my hen had laid two more eggs and they were on the floor of the loft broken. I have to admit I hadn't been paying as much attention to them this last week and it was a real gut check. I really feel like I failed them. I'll be a lot more active with them and on here going forward. Here is the last video I made about my young bird Is it a squeaker now?

so random other question. I started with two cock birds and two hens. I sort of figured nature would just take its place. For one set it has and they have bred. The others haven't. I was talking with another flyer and he said they should have been on eggs already. It seems to me the other cock birds isn't handling his business. Anything I can do to help them along?

still waiting for pictures...

Can you believe I haven’t taken any yet? I’ll go do that now.

Nice video! Excellent shot of the feeding process. Yep, weird to me too.
