Hello, all. I picked up a wood pigeon with a dragging wing a couple of weeks ago. She's recovering and is slowly getting movement back in her wing. The vet advised I should put her in a larger enclosure, so I've made a makeshift aviary in a trailer for the time being. It's large enough that...

I've been working on this aviary for my pair of ringnecks for...well, way too long now. It's a couple days from completion--I have to glaze new panes into the open windows and add the second door--but I've been thinking about the floor. It's currently covered in heavy-duty hardware cloth, with...

Hello! For about two years now I've always wanted to get into birds. They've fascinated me and they're the most amazing creatures, in my opinion. When I was younger I had two lovebirds and a parakeet, but this would be the first time I've gotten birds for sometime. I decided that I would like...

I live in the UK, South. Very sweet dove, very bright, post PMV survivor, approx 4-5 months old, recovered well, really needs a home now with companionship. I think he can fly but because of his colour and his background would really like to see him in a safe environment such as a sheltered but...

I'm heading back to WA state for a little while (for sad funeral type reasons) and I wanted to know if there were any places I could go to play with pigeons or doves, or if anyone has an aviary and wouldn't mind some people playing with them =) And when I say play with them I mean handle them...

These are pictures of my loft and the aviary. I couldn't upload more images as I kept getting some error messages. Can someone let me know if the loft is good enough (spacious etc.) and the same with the aviary (it is roughly 10 feet x 10 feet x 12 feet). I have 10 pigeons now. Apart from 2 of...

Hello everyone, I have decided to build a loft/aviary for my 5 pigeons. I research online for a few days looking for ideas that best fit my conditions and benefit the birds and I came up with a loft aviary in one open space rather than the box loft with windows that many people have. The...

Hello! I am almost done with an outdoor aviary for my rescued pigeon Mo. I am attaching it to his coop that he lives in now, and I want to put some plants and natural perched in it. I was thinking of just planting some of his bird seed so I will know that it is all safe. So... My question is...

We rescued an abandoned squeaker pigeon during a heat wave last summer. His name is Baby Jack. He's now about seven months and needs a home. He reminds me very much of the pigeon just caught at the Ground Zero Memorial -- he's very people oriented but can be a brat! Because he's so used to...
