  1. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Vin has reached adulthood, 7 months old. I'm wondering: Signs he picked me as a mate? Would be useful to tell for sure. When can I expect nesting behavior? I brought sticks per a user's suggestion and Vin hasn't shown interests in them. He does, however, protect his box by my bed. An interest...

    Hello! Sorry if this is in the wrong place. It is my first time posting. My unsexed pigeon is reaching seven months and starting to mature. It's becoming more aggressive around its nesting area, more vocal and active during the day. I'm beginning to worry, as it just excreted a small...

    One of our pet pigeons just laid an egg (Bertha, formerly Bertram) but at this stage we can't handle having more pigeons in our house. While she does live with a male, there's absolutely no spark between them so I'm not sure what the chances of it being fertilised are. What's the best way to...

    So I know nothing about pigeons,I found this egg and couldn't locate the nest so I've decided to try and incubate it the best I can with a light and, correct airflow and temperature in a jar with nesting grass and twigs. This is the first night, I can't make my mind up if it's even fertile or...

    My pigeon has just laid her 8th batch of unfertilized eggs and I'd love to replace one of the eggs with a fertilized one to see how she is at rearing chicks. Does anyone living in the North or South Carolina area happen to have an egg to spare?

    I have two female pet pigeons who keep laying eggs. I have tried separating them, removing all nesting materials, taking away the eggs, leaving the eggs until they "give up" on them, handling them less etc. How often do other female pigeons lay (without a male). I am getting worried about the...
  7. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?

    Hi, I started incubating a pigeon egg a few weeks ago. Today is the 18th day and yesterday i noticed a small dark mark on the egg, it looks as though it is inside. It has grown to the size in the picture below in about 15 hours ish. Is this the chick preparing to hatch? Or something else...

    So while I had a nap my single pet pigeon laid an egg. I took her to the vet 2 days ago because I thought she was sick but she actually had her first ever egg stuck, so they helped her lay it, I guess they took it away from her? So now today I have woken up to another egg I didn't take it out of...

    Help!! A pigeon made a nest and laid two eggs at my door while I was on vacation. She seems nice and always moves when I need to come out or in, but should I move the nest? I want the baby’s to live and I don’t want anything to happen to them.

    So, two of my pigeons seem uninterested in sitting on their eggs (they did that last time, too, but they're young and this is their second clutch). One of my other pigeons decided that nest was a perfect place to lay her own egg despite there being a seperate nest just for her and her mate (no...

    I’m new to dove owning and have only had Joan for 9 months. I got another bird, Cosette, in November. I named her a girl name because the breeder didn’t know her sex. About Joan: she laid her first egg last night at about 9:20pm. The next morning she was acting as a normal bird would with her...

    This is my pair of dove's first clutch together. They were due to hatch yesterday, and when I checked one had pipped so today I checked to make sure they are still alive. They are (for now) but one of them the whole top of the shell is now gone! There is now a little 'shrink wrapped' baby half...
