    Couldn't help myself with the title. 😂 To be fair though, Pepper has become a lot more verbose over the past few months. Pepper has started doing something new when I pet him. He'll begin doing what sounds like the nesting call (to me anyway) when I start petting him. It sounds a tiny bit more...

    Hello all, Thanks for reading my thread. My family member has a Dove that coos all day nonstop. And when I say all day I mean sets of 6-7 coos every 7 minutes or so. It looks like its bowing and its super loud. I told its owner(my family member) that people online said it wants attention, to...

    Hi! I'm new to owning a pigeon, I've had Anastasia for about two months now and I think she's really taken to me by now. I couldn't be happier! Now, onto my question! Anastasia makes a really loud cooing sound sometimes. This happens especially in the morning and when she (presumably) wants...

    Hello! This is my first post to the forum! So glad this resource exists! I adopted a young rescue (~7 months old) a few days ago who has vision problems. I try to make her feel comfortable by playing pigeon cooing videos on the internet. As soon as she hears them, she perks up and starts walking...

    I have a pet pigeon that coos for me constantly all day long. I have rescued a second pigeon to be her mate but it hasn't worked and she continues cooing for me all day. How to i get her to unmate with me so that she can mate to the other pigeon?

    For the past month my pigeon has been cooing non-stop and looking for places to nests. I try making nests but it never works and the cooing never stops. This is a problem because I live indoors in an apartment with her. Will she ever stop cooing? How can I get her to stop? Would getting her a...

    Hello, I have a 2 month old female baby who was born outside my window 2 months ago. Her sibling and parents left long ago, but she has remained here hesitate to leave. I started feeding her a little in the mornings as I saw she was not eating, but she has grown less interested in my seed...

    Rescued domesticated pigeon found on road have had him for about a week now, he hasn't been much active he can't fly, it seems like his wings are cut. We had to force feed him the first few days but he's eating by himself now. But now he has started to make very weird noises gulping/puking and...

    Hey all, My male and female mated pair have been acting unusual during this first week as their adopter, and I wanted to ask if you have any insights about their behavior. The female doesn't like hanging out in the nest. The male spends most of his time spinning around in circles, cooing, and...

    Hi all! I just wanted to see what your thoughts were on my pigeon Fergus's behavior. (It's not problematic at all, in fact it's very cute and I'm just curious.) I have a large dog and two cats. None of them are very interested in Fergus himself (although he is NEVER unsupervised outside of...

    Hi everyone! My female dove has always been fairly vocal, but today, she was being very lovey with her mate, and she kept on going through the motions of cooing (filling her crop area with air, and then releasing air) but nothing would come out. After a while, her mate lost interest and walked...

    I'm looking for advice from someone who has kept king pigeons in the past or currently. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information about keeping them as pets even though king pigeons make beautiful pets. I know all pigeons grow at their own rate and all have their own personalities. I'm...
  15. Training and Behavior
    Two wholly separate questions. 1) One of my ringneck doves coos incessantly at 5 AM and it kills me. Is there anyway to train her to let me sleep in. 2) She was sitting on my shoulder puked/regurgitated spinach all over my shirt. I was under the impression that spinach was good for them! Any...

    I know there is no true way of telling what a pigeons gender is, however, there are a few things that suggests that the woody is a female. For example, she never fluffs up her whole neck and bows down, instead she just jumps and fluffs up the back of her neck, she doesn't do the long coo but...

    I know many of you have been fanciers for years, but I'm new, and I just had to share...my young Rio is just learning to coo, and it is absolutely adorable! The funniest part is, he tries to woo Lola, but because he's routinely "bullied" her by pecking her or pulling her feathers when she gets...

    Of my new pair of doves, the one I believe to be male has been doing this "wing-shaking" thing a LOT. And I can't really seem to find much of an explanation online. S/he lowers its' head, makes a raspy coo consisting of two notes, and shakes his wings very quickly. S/he doesn't seem upset...

    Just curious, what exactly does cooing mean? I've got a ringneck and he makes this sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbkOqgvqId0 But he stops when I move/come near/enter the room. Is he asking for attention or is he cooing as a sound of happiness and just stop when I'm there because he gets...
