Pigeon Talk

@backyard pigeons her band says 2018. She has two, both plastic. Because she is now a house pet I will probably clip them off though.

They may be tough to, but it's possible I guess.

Well crud, I candled Cyril and Clara's egg and didn't see life. Maybe I'm jumping the gun but usually by day 3 I can even see life in chicken eggs, which are bigger and develop slower. I won't take the egg yet of course but now I'm thinking it might not be fertile. Which is weird because I literally saw them mate.

Sleeping sitting on the seed dish. Guess she figured its a fine nest.

8 birds today...!
A batch of racers, all flyable except for one.

Oh wait, 9 a young feral that is probably 3 weeks. I asked, and it's perfectly legal. Went for one without eggs\babies. Got him tonight.

Did you read what you wrote, or was the excitement overwhelming. I'm having trouble understanding,,,,,, but think you got 8 NEW PIGEONS.
What I outlined in blue,,,,, have no IDEA what is written.
Maybe everyone else knows from a different thread posting

She looks fairly happy with her new nest bowl! Do you know if she's a she or a he? Have you checked the pelvic bones?

Cool on the race team! and Where/how did you happen to get a feral?

So, i wanted a feral or two to fly with my racers to see if they would pick up any survival tips, but I wasn't sure if it was legal. I asked our wildlife management and they said yes. so tonight we went by a local bridge, and this guy could barely fly on the ground, by the road. So that's how it all happened! pics to come tommorrow.

Can Loper keep up with your racers?

Edit added: sorry @biophiliac ! I thought I hit the post button yesterday!

I'm sorry! I got 8 new racers, and then a new feral all yesterday. So 9 total. It was late when I posted...

Does this clear everything up?

I dont think a 3 week old feral will have much survival skills to impart on your racing birds.

Yes, I do agree. I have been trap training him this morning, and he is a star at it! I don't Think he learned that in the wild though!

Is your bird still acting healthy? Clear eyes and good droppings?
