house pigeon

Hi! I'm about to move out from my parents house, meaning I now have the freedom to get any pet I chose. I want a pigeon as a companion animal because they're so sweet and trainable. However I will be getting a full time job soon. Can I work full time and still keep a pigeon? I know birds need...

I recently had to give up my registered Emotional Support Animals [a pair of bunnies] due to late-life allergy development. I've been doing research for a few weeks now, and I've heard that pigeons are fantastic pets for people who have the time to dedicate to them. My setup is composed of...

I just heard from my pulmonologist. Started out as a cold last November... I have a positive ANA and the pigeon antigen was positive. I also have cockatiels and apparently that test will be in next week as it was sent to the midwest. I have two house pigeons, ok two bedroom pigeons. I...

With the problem one of my house pigeons is having (different thread) I thought it was a good idea to change up what I feed my house crew. Right now they are fed pigeon feed (M&R brand), layer crumble (New Life) and bird seed. They have grit and oyster shells. The hens are allowed to sit on...

Hi All, This is my first post here so I hope I am following protocol. I am fairly new at looking after pigeons, but I have a small flock of pigeons that I have been feeding for about a year. This summer I took in a few babies. One was being bullied by the other birds and was very thin. I took...

Nothing against him. :) Just checking to make sure he's legit, since I don't know him, & he wants to trade a trio of birds for some of my house pigeons.

Hello Everyone! In the past you've all helped me to save a few feral pigeons who came to me as well as provided me the opportunity to help out a fellow fancier in need. I am now tossing the idea around of getting a piji of my own - here's the dilemma - I want a pet, a bird that will interact...

I have a sick little baby. was busy over the weekend, and didn't realize that his bigger sibling started pushing him away from his parents. These guys are almost old enough to start eating on their own. Just not quite there yet. I started surringe feeding the sickly one moistened flock raiser(a...

Pm'd me the other day about about a house pigeon hen. I can no longer access their forum, nor read any messages coming from it. I was wondering if/he is on this forum. Or if someone here that is also on backyard chickens can send them here, or give them my email adress? its...

Can anyone tell me what these guys will possibly look like after they molt? Mom is a copper black wing. Dad is a toy stencil for blue icing. This is their little brother/sister. There was two chicks. the parents lost the other. He actually looks lighter then the other two did when they were...

Napoleon and Paxy are looking for new homes. Napoleon is a fiesty former champion racing pigeon who broke his wing. His owner took him to the vet to be euthanized. The vet said "No way!" He can fly short distances *in the house*. In other words, he shouldn't be let out. He is an aggressive...

Hi, I'm a person who is thinking of getting a pigeon or a ringneck dove as a house pet. For that purpose, I've been lurking this and numerous other bird sites for a while now. Finding info on pigeons and doves has been something of a hobby to me for almost six months because stories and videos...

Hello fellow pigeon folks, The Pigeon experiment continues. This is a bit of a long post. I hopw it does not bore you. Now for the rest of the story. An unexpected situation arose which requires that I remove the pigeons from my residence. I did not see it coming and I do not want to get...

I was just wondering what everyone would say what the biggest pigeon breed is according to weight and size?

We are in the process of looking for a friend for Peggy Sue, our incredibly tame, flight-suit trained indoor pet pigeon. She is a standard blue bar, just like you would see hanging around downtown (but with a great personality!) A local bird rescue group has some tame King pigeons available...

I know, silly question but ive been asked, what do i tell them??? What is the difference if any?:confused:
