Ok so I raised willow from an egg. I did everything while raising her. It was literally all me. I thought for sure we’d have a strong connection and I was excited for it. She’s 4 months old now and she literally has hated everyone for the last few months because of pigpen puberty. Now she’s in...
LOL, Just remembered, it was 26 years ago tonight I saw my Wife for the first time. Blind date, set up by my Sister.
She is the love of my Life! and has always understood the Love I have for Pigeons.
That night we climbed in to the back seat of my Sisters car and my future Wife sat on a...
Hello fellow pigeon People, it's The Pigeon Girl (Jamie breanna) back since a long time ago possibly a year since I posted. And I'm informing sad news, this past 4 months have been hell for me... I was kicked out of my home I was renting with my mother, because we later found out for only...
Hi, I adopted another pigeon for my handsome boy Kiwi and he doesn't seem to like her. He must still be mated to me and he doesn't seem to understand that we've broken up. They are together all the time in an outside hutch and he only sees me a few times a day when I'm changing the food or...
So for a long time now, about 9 months, we've had archimedes since he was just a wee egg, but now he's all grown up, which is nice, but we don't know that it is a "He", it used to be very boisterous
But now it sits behind me on my girlfriends desk chair, and if I put my hand near it, he/she...
Twelve Springs/Last Songs for a Paralyzed Pigeon
(For Cleo)
The state of the future is mind—
all the beautiful things at peace.
1.
Glassless world. Primacy of sky.
2.
Gone light. A bird close to death
almost weightless in the hand. Breath,
air, spirit, all one word...
...I saw a couple of pigeons always together, I know and I saw they were a "couple". I don't know which are the "love months" (I don't know how to explain better than that) or the time they "try" to have their "kids"; I don't know if after these times they are still a couple. I don't see the...
Bonnie and Clyde were the only pair of pigeons I had at the time as a newbie and student in school (I still am a student), but I loved them like my best friends. I raised them from near birth and they were beautiful birds, one pure white and the other a spangled gray and white. I went through...
Isn't it just too cute when you know when birds love you :). My new fantail pair gently pecks me all over my face, nose,eyes, teeth whenever i go near them . It's just the way a pair shows affection to each other by pecking and they show the same to me! its such an amazing feeling being a pigeon...
Hi Everyone!
Just when I thought I wasnt going to raise another, Pijii happened. I couldnt stand the thought of raising another pigeon and possibly not give them a better life. Pijii has been somethin else. Full of personality and spunk! I had every intention of not getting attached and having...
My P.M.V. pigeon, Scourge is gone. She had been getting better. Trying to walk, untwisting her head...No more. She crossed it. The Rainbow Bridge. She died just a few minutes ago. In near perfect position. No head twist, no outspread wings. Just half open eyes. Scourge, my baby, just remember, I...
Here is an old tv show where it show about a kid caring about pigeons:

Obviously you don't get chicken pox from a pigeon.
My Little Angel is a sweet little white fantail that arrived here a couple of years ago, she was very ill and it took me weeks to pull her back from the brink of death.
In the aviary she kept herself to herself, perching motionless for hours on end. WE started to put a bucket of food in the...
My pouter, Voodoo, passed away Jan. 2, I don't know why, just her time I guess. She used to share her nest box with an adopted feral pigeon named Shadow, who now sits in the box alone. Her band said she was hatched in 2005, so she wasn't old or anything, nor had she been sick. She was a neat...
One of my last spring releases the little girl with the white head and black wings showed up on the porch a couple weeks back with a big hole ripped in her side just above her leg, probably a Hawk hit. So I got her in and cleaned up the mess and put a couple stiches in and she's all healed up...
I've tried to put sand in their nest bowl.. the reason, a fancier told me that it is good to use sand in their nest bowl, for their eggs will be secured and it can warm the eggs while on the sand.. But suddenly, I felt that they love to pick a lot of the sand.. Is there anything good about the...
So here is a little update on the Dove Diaries.
I've decided to name my loft "Butterfly Loft".
Recently I've had 3 rescued pigeons come to retired at my place. One white Gimple named Glacier, number two is Pablo the Pink racer, and third was Best Man, a white wedding release bird.
Glacier...
I know this ain't pigeon related. Sue me.
I have been thinking about my chickens recently, and how I've gotten really attached to certain members of my flock..
When we first got chickens, I think I was in kindergarden. I'm not sure. But, by god I was a happy little kid. There was a golden...
