Companion Toys for Single Pet Pigeons

[Poulette]

It always amazes me how a pigeon is so much bigger than a domestic dove! He looks like a giant, dominating the situation. He is in charge of 6 little ringneck cousins
I thank John for his help posting the photos.

Oh, this picture is so funny, does your bird think it is real? It seems like it. lol

[Poulette]

Well the pigeon knows that this strange female only moves when I am next to her... When they sit together in his nest, he is moaning and looks very happy!

Oh Suz he's such a sweetheart! He looks so happy with his friend like a match made in heaven, or China depending on where his friend was made A feral bird can show as much love or even more then one domestically raised. My Duds loves people so much you'd think he was hand raised from a squab.
Pigeons are amazing creatures and I'm ecstatic to have been given the honor of being caregiver for one.

I have greatly enjoyed the photos and stories of the toys for pigeons.
These have been most interesting ! But Lolita and I are not to be outdone. My daughter, receiving my word that the Ty Peace Dove (Beanie Baby) was a coveted pigeon toy for my Lolita, bought her one from Ebay. I now have my own pictures to share! Lolita made a very low purrrrrring sound when she first saw the Ty toy. (I had never heard this sound from her before.) But then Alice, the cat stole it from her. When Lolita got it back, she yelled at it and pounced on it - so I guess it was no longer pristine enough for her! I will try to put the photos up here. If they are too large, I will put them on my photo site at:

They are under Lolita.

I love the pics, they're great & Lolita's a beautiful pidgie! Now I'm going to have to get Dudley a peace dove of his own. He has an odd assortment of stuffed friends including Nemo a fuzzy shark an Easter chicken and a giant hamburger which he built a nest around.

[Lolita's Mom]

Hey Pete!
I want to know about the hamburger that your pigeon
built a nest around. Not that I am going to copy you
and try to find the exact hamburger that you have, somewhere on Ebay.(Don't bet on it - Lolita seems to be competitive and covetous?)

So I guess the toy doesn't matter all that much, eh? As long
as the pige likes it.

BTW Reti. My photo link seems to be working ok, now.

Hi Lolita's Mom,
Here's a pic of Dudley and his burger friend. You can see Nemo in Dudley's sleepy place, he started to place his paper around Nemo too. I found the burger at local dollar store of all places, I went there this afternoon to find one for Lolita but unfortunately they're were all gone. I'll keep an eye out for them and get one for your little girl as a gift from Dudley.

Pete,

Your pictures of Dudley are always so great....I swear that lil dickens actually poses for the camera....love your avatar of Dudley doing "the march." Too cute.

"love your avatar of Dudley doing "the march." Too cute."
I agree, Cool avatar.

I tried the beanie companion with my pijs and it did not go over to well. I offered them to Cindy but she has not gotten back to me on that.

[Pete Jasinski]

Hi Linda & Kippy,
Duds loves to pose for the camera, he knows when it's out it's time to show off. The avatar is a missed wing stretching pic opportunity but it looks like he was hauling tail away from me. I have to post Duds dark side pics of him latched onto my hand like a pit bull. He can be a cutie when he wants but he can be Satan with feathers also It's too bad your pidgies don't like stuffed toys Kippy, they could provide hours of entertainment.

[KIPPY]

Duds looks like he is struttin his stuff, he looks like one bad *** pij.

My pijs like the stuff toys but they are just not very nice about it. It's a thrash the toy around no snuggling allowed. So I took the toys away I thought that was the best thing for them mentally.

[Pete Jasinski]

It sounds like one ruff and tumble bunch of pidgies you have there! I guess it's best they don't have them so they won't get too aggressive. Here's a larger view of my icon pic.
