hello there! i'm not sure if this is where i should be posting, but... come new year i will be owning my first pigeons! i was looking for some advice on how large the loft should be for two pigeons. also, i know that birds of the opposite sex would get on better, but how do i prevent eggs? or...

Hi! I'm new here and have been searching a while for someone to help. I found a young pigeon earlier on the side of a small road leading up to a pub. Unfortunately, it's sibling seemed to have been run over and it wasn't leaving its side. There didn't seem to be a parent around, i'm sure i'd...

Hello there! I've been a big fan of pigeons for awhile- I like birds but most of the time they're either WAY too needy (parrots) or just too flighty. Pigeons are so underrated and GORGEOUS birds. We recently got our first chickens this year as well (about in april) and while I love them and have...

I just got my first kit of birds, 2 red mookies, 2 homers a red and blue bar, and 6 rollers 2 grizzles 2 red checks and 2 blue bars. I had 2 eggs the second day but the hen was not setting them and after some time I pulled them. I knew for sure the the mookies were a pair and was pretty sure the...

Hey guys this is my first post and I am a NOOB when it comes to all this pigeon stuff. So I am having a problem with some birds in my coop. My brother-in-law gave me two of his 2009 birds to breed so they could have babies in my coop. They bred and layed two eggs, only one hatched but it was a...

I've always loved birds, and I've had some. I had a Wonderful Escapist Canary (he loved to escape from the cage, he was pretty smart for a canary xD. I don't know how he did it though o.O... last time he escaped I think he got a trauma in his head and that's why he died), and three budgies. I...

Can anyone tell me what to expect at my first pigeon show? I have a while to get prepared, but do not know what exactly to expect. Thanks Chris
