What people?
No, you can't just turn them loose. That would be a death sentence.

I was just thinking maybe they would stay around and free fly. But there not the type of pigeons that you let free fly so I was not sure. I was still thinging that maybe just maybe the babies that were in the loft from day one could free fly. The loft is not going to be taken down or anything and the older pigeons are not going to be out there. But if they cant free fly cuz the type they are I well not let them out. There my babies and I do not want them to fly away or get hurt.

I dont know people for the city, I think something like that.

What exactly did they say? Do you have a certain time to get rid of the birds? I looked at some of your pictures. You definitely can't let the birds fly free. They aren't flying breeds...........not all of them.

I know over half are feral mixs so...
Um... They just sayed that we cant have them and I guess we have 10 days for now then she is going to tell the animel ppl it sounds like and well have to see what they say wither is I need to find homes for half or what.

Michelle,

Sounds kind of fishy to me... these people weren't invited by you to your house then were they? Did they leave any paperwork with you? I wouldn't get rid of any birds until you have something in writing showing why you aren't allowed to have the birds! I hate when people try to take advantage of others I'd suggest calling your town's government office tomorrow - see if you can find out what the local laws are about owning pigeons.

What town do you live in - I'd be happy to help you with any research I can do online.

Hold onto your babies!!

No they came over why'll we were at school cuz the new ppl behind us sayed rats were coming from or yard to theres. We and or nambers/friends next to us also got a sitation for having a pile of wood in the yard. Why'll she was looking at our yard she saw the lofts. We have the one big one 10feet by 5feet, one 8feet by 4feet, and a few hutchs all of them are off the ground on bricks. They only lift the papers for the "messing yard". The lady that was over here was not animal cotroll but she sayed when the animal cotroll lady gets back from her brake she is going to tell her she says. Madison Heights, MI. I have looked online when I fond my first baby and did not find anything saying I could not have pigeons. But I would be very happy if you would not mine looking up what ever you can find for me. Thank You. All I know is were not aloud to have "game animals" pigeons are not game animals by what I know. We cant have farm animals and are only aloud to have 3 dogs/cats and a time but I have not seen a thing saying we cant have 100 animals other then the 3 dogs/cats so by what I know we can have all the animals we have now. All of my birds and in good health, Not to fat I dont think . But more of you seen alot of pictures they get what they want. Again Thank You for the help.

Just keep the lofts clean. The birds I am sure would have to be causing a nuisance to be removed or reduced.

Just be polite but don't let someone walk all over you or lie to you. Relax get the facts right and go from there.

Hi Vegeta............When you say ppl I assume you mean people. This sounds like a nasty neighbor who is just trying to scare you into getting rid of your pigeons.

Keep your loft clean. DON'T DO ANYTHING in the way of turning your birds loose or giving them away.

Until you have an official notice from the city or county there is nothing this neighbor can do to you other than just complain. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE LOFT AND THE BACKYARD CLEAN!!!! because if there are no restrictions on you keeping your pigeons the only thing that is left is the Board of Health Dept. If they feel that the pigeons are causing any kind of health hazard they do have the authority to force you to remove the pigeons.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

[vegeta2802]

OK thank you. Sorry if I did get ahead of everthing the city lady just got my mom and I kind of well mad/sad I guess you would say we dont want to have to get read of our babies. And she sayed that we cant have them and that she was telling the animal control lady on us when she got back from her vacation. I made sure to make my loft REALLY REALLY clean this time just so she cant say anything. I also did not give them there bath so that she cant say a thing about the water on the floor.

Had this SAME FRUSTRATING thing happen to me awhile back. The neighbor called and made it sound like they had already talked to the city/county/animal control, etc. and I had to get rid of my pigeons. After I freaked out big time, people on here talked me down enough so I could figure out some things. Don't let anyone scare you into getting rid of your pigeons. If animal control does come out and talk to you, go from there. Make sure your loft and yard are clean, of course. If the wood pile is causing troubles, I would schedule a clean-up and get it taken care of.

The less reason for people to be nosing around in your yard, the better!!!

You can call your county offices and ask about your area, and the laws regarding animals. Don't give them your name, just ask anonymously. I found out I'm allowed to have 25 pigeons in my zone. So I found homes for some and then basically told my neighbor to, um, er, have a nice day.

I hope it works out for you too!!

The city lady sayed our yard is cleand up nicely so she is done with that. But she showed us were it sayed we cant keep pigeons and I really think it dose not count pigeon. By what she showed us on her computer it say "people/binesses cant keep the following" and it gose in to saying that we can only keep "domestic animals dogs, cats, cage birds like parrots and small mammals". PIGEONS ARE DOMESTIC ANIMALS there not wild so it really dose not say we cant have pigeons. I am going to go print off the histery of pigeons for the animal lady they have been domestic sins befor some parrots. Anyone know a good website to get the info from? I know I could find one but if you know one plz let me know. here is the web-site the lady gave us to see were it says about the birds but I cant find it so PLZ PLZ if you have time try looking it up one the site.And I really would like any website you can find with the histery of pigeons. Also non of are neighbor conplaned about the pigeons so.... (just the rats they sayed "came from our yard" and the lady dose not think they came from our yard.)
Also maybe if you guys can right stuff for me to print of saying that were good pets not durty, there just as durty as p the parrots if not less.

Here is the link http://www.madison-heights.org/

I'll post picture I just took for you guys when I get back.

P.S. the city lady sayed that maybe the animal lady my let me have the birds right I say prove them wrong. The city lady was but I dont know if the animal lady will be.
