moving

Hey guys! So im moving myself and my pigeons from Northern Wisconsin (on lake superior) to North Carolina (Pilot Mountain area). I've never moved this far but ive already found a few feed sources, a racing pigeon club, a property to keep them on and all that, but do i need to do anything special...

Hello everyone, In about a month I'm going to be moving to the UK from the US due to a job. I have a pet pigeon who I love very much and I really really want to bring her with me. I found a previous thread on here about how to do it but it was almost 8 years old and I wonder if maybe policies...

Hi, A friend of mine is moving and she was going to get rid of her bbq grill, but it turns out there's a house sparrow nest in it, with a baby who is not yet fledged. She thinks the parents are around and will return to the nest but right now it's just the baby. We're trying to figure out what...

I could use some advice if you don't mind, guys. I've had my beloved little pidgies for about ten years now, and my parents have been very supportive and stepped up as pigeon-sitters when I moved to go to college. My parents are retiring and moving in two years though, and I'm still in grad...

Hi, I am moving soon and I really need to find some nice loving homes for my pigeons (I live in Michigan). My pigeons currently fly freely in an outdoor aviary and are allowed to go inside for shelter at their leisure. I would like something similar to this for them at the new home as well -...

I am due to move house in less than a week... this was very unexpected - I should have had several more weeks! I will be taking my 14 fancy pigeons with me (fantails and Old Dutch Capuchines). I have to stay in a rented house for about 6 months.. then go to my final house. (they are fine...

I have an urgent problem, so please can anyone help? My fantail pigeons hatched out 2 squabs.... and I am sure my chickens are going to eat the baby pigeons!!! I keep my non breeding male pigeons with my bantam chickens. I did not notice and female had slipped in, found a mate, and had a...

Hello, I am new to this forum and was hoping that someone could help. My family and I are moving across the country, (South Florida to Washington state) and are needing to find a new home for our pigeon "Bird Bird". Our moving decision was a fast one and we will be leaving in less than two...

Hi, Could someone please direct me to information on transporting / shipping pigeons? On a separate thread I am trying to find new homes for my birds. I'm willing to cover at least part of the costs of transporting them to their new homes, but I know nothing about how this is typically done...

I have a relatively new loft with 12 young birds that have been flying since the spring. Some are younger and only flying since mid summer. I have purchased a new property about 50 miles away and I want to take my birds and my lofts with me to our new house. I have read that the military...

Soon (3 months) here i may be moving about two miles down the road. if i start settling young birds will they be able to make the move. ?

I'm in need of advice and I've been to this site before so I know this is the best place to find it. Around 7 or 8 years I go, I rescued a young pigeon outside of a restaurant who was near death from a worm infestation. After nursing him back to health, I found he was too tame to be released...

Hi I have female city pigeon named mother, who I've raised for 4-5yrs. she fell out of her nest, and she's always been unable to fly. and has stumbles a bit, bit due to childhood calcium deficiency, not to neurological problems. We have had avian vets care for her. she is extremely social. I'm...

Hello Pigeon-Talk folks! My husband and I are getting fed up with our neighborhood for a variety of reasons, and thinking about moving within a year or so. I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced moving - with a flock of birds. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. The logistics seem...

Hi everybody! As usual, I need some advice. I'm moving to a new place in about a month, and I need some tips for my doves adaptation to the change of enviroment. Right now, my oldest is living in my bedroom, and a fairly new one is living in the kitchen, they've only seen each other a couple...

my family plaining to move(maybe if we can win the auction) so i might have to build a new loft ..tell me what do you think? too small? how tall should it be? *i want it only 6' so i can catch the birds but i don't want to cut the wood (4'by8') is 8' too high? My ideas *#2 will be for young...

I know transporting pigeons put them under a lot of stress. But I well need to have some in a training basket for about a week. They will get food and water daily is there anything I can do to help them make this move less stressful?

Can I do it? Bonnie and Claudia (my flightXhomer crosses) are sitting on a pair of roller eggs each. Unfortunately, as I had to get them out of my roller coop a few weeks ago, they are in my kitbox. Last week they had laid their eggs on the floor of the kitbox, and I swapped the eggs out with...

Yep. We really are moving because of the pij. But first, a quick update . . . It's been a while since I posted here with my Chauncey and Clive stories. Since nesting cycle #2 (we're now on #5) Clive has given up sitting on the nest -- at all. Chauncey sits on the eggs all three weeks and...

My life took a sudden drastic turn recently and now I am looking to move to central Oregon and I need to find a permanent or temporary home for my lovely birds. :( I have for potential Adoption / Foster / Sale in Oregon (I don't want to ship.): A. 4 All White Racing Homers, Young Birds, I...
