Omg Pit Bull Attack!


Okay remember how I hand raised those two little cute baby pigeons because dad was beating them up.

Well I let them out at least once a day. I also handle them a lot too. But the brown and white one has turn out to be a little pit bull. And I don't know why. Yesterday by boyfriend mentioned that the brown one was trying to bite him. I figured he/she was just trying to see if he had any food. So I was checking on them today. And he/she *I think it might be a female* started attacking me. Then the mostly white one started attacking her. I guess the white one know better than to bite the hand that feeds you. Why would the brown pigeon all of sudden become so mean tords people. I took a couple of small videos so you could see. The white one doesn't mind to be touch even But the brown forget it. He/She was really trying hard to hurt me. When you watch the second video and see what happens when I point my finger @ him/her. He/She really get mad... I'm going to have to put a BEWARE OF ATTACK PIGEON on my door...

That is normal nesting behavior. You may have eggs in a few days!

That 'attack' doesn't actually look too bad. My Jax has charged at me, forcefully wing-slapped me in the face and given me a black eye very recently ! I know that she adores me deep down though!

All normal pigeon behaviour that I even find amusing at times. You have to laugh at their little tantrums sometimes. That's part of getting to really know your pigeon's character and behavioural patterns.

Your birds are beautiful by the way!

That was my immediate reaction. My pigeons will grab hold of the loose skin on the top of my hand and worry it like a dog! (Spider creatures from Venus! http://www.urbanwildlifesociety.org/...ePijStory.html )

That is so cute, very pretty pigeons.
Yeah, you're lucky that attack is not too bad. Some of my pigeon attacks have brought tears to my eyes. My meanest one bit me on the side of my neck once while perching on my shoulder. Boy that hurt.

LOL...looks like typical pigeon behavior that starts when they are at the 'teenage' stage. I have peck marks all over the top of both my hands from my Sammy. It looks like I have a contagious disease. When people look at my hands suspiciously I say, "I'm really not contagious, the spots are from my pigeon pecking me." Once I say that...I really get the looks.

My gizmos always been like that.She'd always want to come to me and fly on me but she would peck anypart she could.Over 2 years later she still does it,she grabs my skin and pulls and pulls yet she doesn't fly away if i want to pick her up shes not scared just a nasty little booger!!Mrs pidge does it at the moment but she has got a plastic egg so i suppose shes got an excuse.she was handraised by someone and used to prefer me to the other pigeons but now shes got an egg and boyfriend i'm history - pigeons are so fickle!

Our Mr. Humphries does like Cynthia described - grabs a piece of your hand and yanks as hard as he can. I think they love it.


Matt, I love the videos by that man. I wish he would join our forum. You can tell he loves every one of his birds.
