I found a ?pigeon?

Woodstock,

I sent you an email.......
I found a pigeon almost identical to the one you found. I got mine in August.
Mine's not real friendly either, she just wants fed, LOL!
I am looking for a companion for mine, and I am located north of Pittsburgh.
Please let me know if you don't get my email, as I am really interested in adopting your bird.

LittleGreys........can I ask where you keep your bird? Do you know if it's hen or cock? I ask because, if you keep your bird in a cage, trying to put another bird in with it could be trouble. If yours is a cock and this one is a cock, they will fight. If yours is hen and this one is a hen or a cock then eventually they will get along ok. I was just reading through a few posts and saw this one. It's very commendable of you to want to give this bird a home and I hope you can. I just wasn't sure if you were aware of things that "could" go wrong. It just really all depends on where your bird is kept and your situation. Not trying to be nosy, just helpful.........

Lovebirds,

Thanks for the info. I have heard about not keeping 2 cocks together. That was the main thing holding me back from adopting another bird, I was unsure of the sex of mine. I am now almost positive mine is a hen. She is in an outdoor pen, its 13 feet by 8 feet by 7 feet.
Do you think I would be OK in adopting another bird?

I think that would probably be ok. The one you have now will still consider the area it's "domain" but there's plenty of room for it to work out. Even if they were both cocks, they would be ok. We of course add birds to our loft and even though there may be a scuffle or two while they figure out who the boss is going to be, they are ok after a while. Good luck with the new one of you get it. Glad it's finding a home.

LittleGreys, I emailed you back - let me know if you didn't get them. Hopefully we can set up a time soon for me to get the bird to you. I know he/she needs sunlight, and it's not getting it in my garage. Thank you for offering to take it & give it a home.

This little guy (or girl) is home with me and doing great! PrettyBird really likes the new friend. They are a pretty matched pair although PrettyBird looks like a plump chicken compared to this little bird. I am a bit concerned that PrettyBird is f-a-t.
I wasn't sure of PrettyBirds gender, nor do I know what the new bird is, so now I have 2 to figure out!!

Will post some pictures when we get some good ones taken!

Thanks to Maureen for taking in this little one and then bringing it to me!!

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL NEWS!!! KUDOS TO YOU BOTH!!

UPDATES ARE DEFINITELY REQUIRED! (Just kidding, but we DO want to hear how both are getting along AND if you have one sex of each!)

I'm glad to hear about the re-union or adoption...

Unless you see one actually aggressive and bosing the other around, it may be impossible to tell the gender.

These birds may actually be youngsters, who are still trying to figure out what gender they are themselves.

Give them some time.
