Heloo friends, I seem to have a lost pigeon who has decided my small horse farm and barn would make a lovely home. He (?) seems pretty relaxed around me, I have been feeding him some shelled sunflower seeds and he also seems to like the horse grain. We have a stream near by so I am not to...

Hello All, I am moved to new Apt. While preparing to move, I found that that the pigoens in balcony have baby pigeons in the satellite bucket I have made for hosting the satellite dish! If I leave them the APT people probably kill them, so I took the "baby" pigeons to the my new APT. They have...

Hi pigeon friends, I live in Chicago and came to get to know, fall in love, and care for the city's feral pigeons to the extent this is possible for me. Problem now: Two days ago, I got a pair of baby pigeons, fallen from their nest. They are about two and a half weeks old, healthy, sturdy...

I recently visited my local animal shelter and noticed two very beautiful pigeons that I seriously considered taking in, though I am curious about their breeds. Both were brown-over-white, and seemed very close, almost like mates. However, they were each of different types. The first had a very...

I found a pigeon last night on the golf course. Thank heavens for the internet! He now in a box with water and bird seed and was drinking last night and this morning. I'm assuming he can't fly (or he would) and seem to fall forward on this head but is then able to right himself. He can...

I just found a feral pigeon with a broken wing. She can't fly, so I brought her home. She's eating okay, not drinking that I can see, (worrysome) but appears very healthy. I tried to contact some rescue operations in my local area, and no one knew who to turn to other than the city or county...

Hi, I found a pigeon on the road yesterday. It is a feral baby pigeon and I bought it home. Its in a cardboard box and I have put water and food in it. I need help with any advice I can get on caring for it. It would also help if anyone could provide information on any animal shelters or...

I'm a little disturbed about all the negative "there's a good chance that they will be killed if returned" posts lately. YES, I realize that SOME racing folk do this. However, MOST of the racing folk I know go to great lengths to get their birds back. MOST really care about what has happened...

I'd like to thank every one for helping us. We were able to contact someone from an animal shelter who rehabilitates birds and releases them so our little friend is being taken care of. He's been eating well and it seems that the lack of feathers on his head was probably from an accident on the...

We found a baby pigeon in the rain. It's pretty old but not quite full grown yet. We don't think it can fly yet. What should we feed it? Can we feed it whole seeds? How should we care for it in general? How do we know when its ready to be released? Also the feathers on the top of its head is...
