Yikes -- I just got a call from our building manager -- the one who was destroying nests, and spared ours at my begging-- the building owner is freaking out and insisting that all the nests be destroyed and the rafters netted -- his job is on the line if this doesn't occur. Tenants have been...

Hi, For the past few years a cat has been coming into our garden - a very timid cat. Lately he's been coming back daily looking for my cat (I'm sure he likes her). My own cat doesn't mind him too much and they are often outside with eachother in the garden. I'm rather concerned about the cat. I...

Okay, so I'm watching my little neighbor hatchlings grow and develop outside my window (they are now 9 days old), peeping and flopping around, etc. So wonderful! But -- I've noticed an increasing difference in their size. At first I just assumed that one is male and the other female, hence...

Hey... :( I've had a cockateil for quite a while so I've just started getting to know birds after being a cat/dog lover. I'm kind of worried right now about a pigeon that I found: I was on my way to work when I saw a pigeon being attacked by crows in a grassy spot underneath the skytrain...

Today the pigeon I feed daily showed up with light green tags/tapes around his legs. Who did it and what does that mean? Please shed some light on this issue. I saved and raised this baby and set him free about two month ago. He comes to my house daily with his gang (he seems to be the leader)...

I have found a baby pigeon on the restroom window in which it's sibling has mysteriously disappeared, and the mother has not returned for perhaps three days. My heightened concern for the remaining squab has rendered my choice of raising it as my own. Not sure how to feed it, I sprawled some...

2 days ago i found a scalped pigeon, at first i assumed it got hit by a car. But after reading some posts, maybe it got into a fight. Whatever the case may be it has been badly scalped. THe entire top of its skull is exposed and a part of it has been pushed down over one eye which is crusted...

Has any one tried a bird harness on a pij? A local pet store sells a parrot harness. I like riding my bike with Sal, but since his recent hawk scare, I am reluctant to take him.

Some help would be appreciated - I'm an animal trapper, and am used to dealing with mammals and reptiles - birds I normally release without a problem, but I caught two juvenile pigeons in a ladies attic today, and would like to raise them to an age where they can be released back in the wild...
