When Do Pigeons Learn About Birds & Bees ?My experience is that it varies somewhat according to strain. Some birds mature faster, but as a range, I would say 7 to 9 months, they will begin to notice the girls.
Of course, it can be a confusing time, what with the hormones a blasting. The levels of stress that are placed on them, can impact the course of nature. For instance, a hard training routine, such as with racing piegeons, can delay some of this behavoir.

Another question, if they are imprinted, will they act this way towards their human?

Yes they will. My Angel thought I was her mate until she mated with Tiny and dumped me.
Tiny still thinks I am his other mate. My ferals start this behavior at around 5-6 months of age. Reti
