Jack moves in


I have 4 pigeons and finally have them in one cage (Kip & Splashes cage). I moved Zeke in first then Jack. Not sure about how Jack would do with his scissored beak. Everthing seems to be going good.

Jacks been on his own for awhile so I'm pretty excited it seems to be working out. Later the whole gang were bathing together. I'm just glad everyone is getting along and I am down to one cage.

You have set up your pigies beautifuly.
They seem happy. And they are so beautiful.

How big is your cage, I can't really tell from the pics.

It's a little over 6 feet high, 8ft across and 4ft deep. I would like to close in the patio and let them go in there but that's not in the funds at the moment.

Wow, their home looks sunny & they look beautiful! I have been rescueing and releasing pigeons and it's starting to look like I will be having permanent residents (at least one for now). I don't have a set up like you yet and am curious...do they stay inside it all the time (day and night)? Is it secure from any other animals getting in?

Also, was your scissor beak baby born that way, or was it an injury?

Congratulations on the achievement of your multi-family dwelling...I'm sure it will be wonderful for all!

I'm so glad you posted the pictures Kim.
All your photos are wonderful but that third picture is just too precious.
Looks like Jack has found his true love & soul mate.

I absolutely adore Jack & it tickles my tummy to see him so happy.
You have done a wonderful job with all your adoptees.

Cindy

I know Cindy, I am excited now Jack has other pigeons to hang with. Zeke seems to like Jack ALOT and Jack was hanging out in the bath with Kip.
Not sure about the sexing thing with Jack and Zeke but I'm sure I will find out.

The cage is secure, I have had it for over a year and no problems. I live in the city so I don't have any critters besides lizzards and a cat. The cat does not come up to the patio because of my dogs. There's latches and a lock on the door and shades that I can put down at night. So the cat can't really see whats going on at night or get in.

I don't let them free fly. I have my own personal reasons for that. Zeke use to hang out on the patio at night when he was still in the other cage. Kip use to but always goes back to the cage so I just don't bother anymore.

Jack has scissor beak from canker which was a long time ago. They are all rescues and I can't help but get attached to them. I did have 2 other rescues (Smack and Scruff) that are back with the feral flock.

Now if we can just keep it at four that would be great!

Hi Kippy,

Thank you for the wonderful photos of your birds and their nice housing setup. Jack looks like he's ready to integrate well with the other birds. We all love pictures here so thanks for sharing them

I love your pix! Jack is adorable even with his scissors beak. I like the picture of him being snuggled (or preened) by the other pigeon.

They're all so cute!!!

Jack is pretty cool but he does have a look to him when he is wet.

LOL! Awwww, poor Jack. Pigeons can really look quite pitiful when they are sopping wet can't they. Sometimes after a bath, my birds just look so miserable, it almost makes you think they might not enjoy it. But obviously they do!!!

Thanks for that picture Kippy,

Jack could kill a cat with that look. LOL! I love it! Just joking of course, I will not be held responsible for anything Jack does.
