mating

OK, so my little dinosaurs Harmony and Cadence have mated, and I think Cadence is going to lay soon. I have the nesting box set up in their "room" (we don't call it a cage..), and they're building with dry grass and things i leave for them.. Here's the question: I'm noticing that in the morning...

Has anyone ever had a pair of birds mate, the hen lay the eggs, then have the pair fight? A couple times they were really being aggressive, the female would be sitting then run out and attack the male, but now it's like the male is trying to drive the female to the nest...I separate them for a...

Ok, now that I have you chuckling.... 1) when do you consider (homers) 'mated up'? Meaning, at what point do you think you have a 'loyal' pair. I have heard that some have 'mistress' while saying loyal to their hen.... (maybe this works both ways??) 2) At what point is the embryo's father...

Ok, I have paired brand new birds -- Old birds. At what point do you decide one isn't enjoying the 'rough ride' or courtship?? Seems in this case, the hen "York" 2013 is a bit rough (maybe) to the cock 2007. Maybe he's more into Garth Brooks kinda courtship and she's more hard core and...

Can Lahoree Shirazi hen can mate with other type of pigeon? Thank you for answering... :mad:

Hi, I just joined up a few minutes ago. I live in Oklahoma, and have had 2 pet diamond doves for the past few months. Well, I bought one, then a few months later bought another. I also have two parakeets who are brats and try to pester the doves if they are out at the same time lol. Anyways, I...

Hey everyone, first and foremost, I have a pair of pigeons, a father and his daughter which is maybe 4 months old, I don't know precisely yesterday I saw the cock chasing and cooing to her, that never happened before. then they began the courtship.the Problem is that the hen is not yet mature...

So after I messed up the first clutch from being ignorant, my pigeons have laid a second clutch. Things seemed fine the first week and when both were out of the nest box I swapped 1 egg out with a wooden one and boiled it and replaced the wooden one with the boiled egg. (Since I'm new at this I...

I have two male pigeons that, for lack of two available hens, have mated and conduct themselves as a pair. However, they still show interest in the hens and young birds. I have experienced this with hens but never males. Has anyone had a similar experience. Bill

Hello. I live in Turkey and there are no laws against feeding wild birds or animals here. In fact, you need to feed them in order for them to survive in here since it is very hard for them to find food in where I live. We have been feeding some palm doves (Brown ones without a collar on the back...

Sorry for the thread title but I think we are all mature here and there is no other way of explaining it. So I have a pigeon I have had for like 6 months (his/her name is spot for stories sake)... at first spot was the male to my hen (her name is violet) ive had for two years which is a proven...

Hello... I have a tippler hen which when paired with this particular cock who is very sexually active, lays eggs very soon after the hatchlings from her previous clutch is only 15 days old. Normally my other pairs lay eggs after about 45 days of their eggs hatching but that particular hen paired...

They stay so close but they do not mate. both of them are adult and not so old aged. what to do now ?

I have another question regarding my pigeon. Its about her behavior. You can see her photo in my personal album. Shes the first one , the first pic of my album. So as my thread title says, my pigeon doesnt want to mate. When she was a baby (about 1 month old) she had a mate and they were really...

I have a strange problem that I want to ask advice on. I have Blondie, a healthy retired roller pigeon that does not have PMV, and I have several pigeons that are getting over PMV. I have lost Blondie's male after he got out when I opened the garden door to feed the outside pigeons. Blondie does...

I'm trying to get my birds banded so I know whose who in my loft of all white birds so I can keep track of their health ect. I'm also banding them with numbered bands so I know whose paired up with who. I have a female (or so I think its a female), sitting on eggs. While she was on them...

My problem first: I have a male utility king pigeon that I rescued (he just showed up one day) and he is extremely attached to me now. I decided to get a female utility king to be his mate so that it would take some aggro off of me, and give him someone to keep him company when we aren't home...

I have a pair of pigeons.They are pretty young now only 7-8 months old.They laid two eggs when they were 5 months old but i never saw them mating.I thought may be they had mated when i was not around. they astonished me when both of their eggs hatched.(As they are very young and most of the...

Sorry for the title...couldn't help myself... I have a pair of doves - a male ringneck and female white. They seem to get along well, and have laid 2 sets of eggs (which were replaced with wood eggs). I took the female into the vet because I got her after the male, and didn't have a history...
