  1. Sick or Injured Pigeon and Dove Discussions
    I frequently ferry ferals that have been picked up in the West of Scotland and take them to the East of Scotland where there is an amazing rehabber. Whilst often they will not be releasable (PMVs wing injuries etc), many will be fine to be released. My question centres on where best to release...
  2. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    I've got no idea what it means, but Vin likes to sit/lie on my lamp. To me it's like the heat coming off the toaster: pleasing warmth. He's been going on it nearly every time he sees the lamp.

    This time of year we have lots of pigeons hanging around our ranch in Northern California. We have a very large live oak on our property. This year we have a bumper crop of acorns. That said, I initially thought they were here while trying to avoid heavy pressure from predators. Sharp Shinned...

He(guessing male just on vibe;)) showed up yesterday when i was out feeding my feral pigeon friends, he hid under my jacket for a while and allowed me to pick him up.

    Hi. This pigeon is probably a few weeks old at this point. He can’t seem to walk well. He drags himself around. He still eats, drinks, and poops. I attached some pictures if anyone has any idea. I’m a total newbie at this so please be patient with me haha. His other foot is similar but maybe not...
  6. Adoption Forum for Pigeons
    Hello from West Melbourne, Florida. Almost three months ago I was given a rescued baby feral pigeon. I learned how to care for him and after treating a bad case of pigeon pox and later bird lice, he is now a healthy and awesome bird. When I started, I knew very little about pigeons and was not...

    Hello everyone, A pigeon couple built a nest on a high rise building on one corner of the balcony, away from sunlight close to the parapet. The female never layed an egg, and they have been using the nest for a good number of month now. It has rained quite a lot already. They seem to keep away...
  8. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?
    I found a feral pigeon July 1st. From my estimations it was 13-15 days old when I found him. It was under a sign in a parking lot with no shade or shelter. I fed them with a plastic crop 3 times a day, then when they started pecking food I fed them twice a day. Then once a day and yesterday I...

    Greetings dear people of this forum. Sadly, i live in Serbia (South-East Europe) where i can't ask for any help from fellow pigeon rescuers in person from this forum but i am hoping you can give me an opinion on this pigeon's state. I rescued him/her this morning (i'll just call him "he" for...

    This adult (?) pigeon waddled up to us while we were sitting and eating lunch at a sidewalk cafe. He -- arbitrary pronoun; I don't know how to sex pigeons-- was absolutely drenched in grease. There’s also a thick yellowish crust and bald patches under both of his wings, and a lot of tiny...

    I recently again, removed the remaining ferals due to my psycho neighbors, again, getting psycho. They are at a friends rescue, but there were 2 left that paired up about a week ago. They hang out in my window well where the others have, and were a new pair, together 24/7. Theyd been practicing...

    Hi, I do hope this is allowed, admins please delete if not. After several pigeons were found in Glasgow with stringfoot and other problems, it was felt a group should be set up to share knowledge and experience as well as practical support for those in Scotland concerned with their welfare. It...
  13. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    3 weeks ago, a fledgling fell off my roof too early. Over the last 3 weeks, it’s parents have flown down and fed it. A neighborhood cat nearly got it one day (it flew into my pool and I had to get it out) so for the next few weeks, every night I got it into a dog crate I placed outside and every...

  16. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Hello everyone, My question is: if I feed a feral pigeon/dove for several months everyday, but then I have to leave for 10 days, will they die because of it? Mine is an extreme case: I’m specifically referring to an albino ringneck dove that - I strongly suppose - was raised by someone in...
  17. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Hello everyone. I wrote on this forum some time ago about a feral pigeon I’m affectionate to. He lost one of his “fingers” due to a strinfoot injury, but now he’s doing fine. Today, and a few days ago, I noticed a weird ”fly” (it’s slimmer and longer), walking around his body, then hiding...
  18. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Recently, the ferals that live on my balcony have started roosting, which I'm really happy about, but the problem is that they've made their nest right next to the pipe/drain that drains away rainwater, and that spot also has no protection from rain whatsoever. Additionally, it'd be really easy...

    Hello. Long story shorter: we’ve housed/fed/watered several feral pigeons & offspring in N Texas in the last year. Current habitat: 3rd floor covered outdoor patio; ceiling slats fell —> lovely place for pigeons; approx 6 “apartments” Question: Why is one pigeon being...

    Hello everyone. I hope someone can help me. I found this pigeon who seems very injured, it has a hanging leg that’s facing the wrong way and it’s lacking feathers in a big portion of its back (between its wings). I don’t know what to do? I’m bringing it to the vet as soon as possible but I’m...
