  1. Pet Pigeons And Doves
    Last year, my mom said she could get me a pet bird for Christmas so I started to do research. I said no to getting the bird that time because my sister didn't want it to be noisy and I didn't want a surprise pet because that would mean we wouldn't be prepared. But now I'm looking back at...

After contacting the organization the tag was registered under and got their information, we sent the owners several messages...

    I'm thinking about getting pigeons and I was wondering what would happen to then if I was away for a week. I'm planning on going on some week-long trips this summer and I was wondering if my pigeons would be fine with that or if they would have to be watched by someone. Thank you!

    First of all, I apologize if the photos in this thread are huge. But this is what I had to deal with and I think its pretty noteworthy - especially since this is my first time and I know there is bound to be something else I can learn from this given the community I am currently in. :) I had...

    A week and a half ago a pigeon flew into the yard and my husband saw how friendly it was. He noticed it had 2 tags on its legs but we couldn't get close enough to see the numbers. He named it Clarence and assume it's male. Clarence stays on the peek of the roof during the day and sleeps in the...

    Hi Besides food, grit, fresh water and sunshine What else and how often do you give other treats/medications/preventives? Specifically: ACV once a week or more? for just one day then replace the water or for a few days in a row? How often do you worm them? Do you delice regularly or just...
  10. Adoption Forum for Pigeons
    So I was riding home about a week ago, and what should I find in the middle of the road looking very stunned, but a squeaker (looked to be about 22 days old).

  11. Pet Pigeons And Doves
    For lack of a better term, is it possible to "house break" or "potty train" a pet pigeon? Not completely or like a dog or cat, I don't mean that, but if I kept a pigeon as an indoor pet, allowing it to fly freely during the day, am I looking at a real mess to maintain or will it tend to say, go...
  12. Loft Designs
    Hi I've seen these kind of sleeping compartments/perches quite often. the image is just taken from google. Are these for separated sexes or is it suitable for mixed as well? If I was to have this kind of set up in a mixed sex loft would the paired birds try to squeeze in together into one...

    I know all pigeons are terratorial regardless of sex, but I know people sometimes keep lofts of just hens or just cocks. Will the hens fight each other? I have a large rescue pigeon (mix breed) who from the round head and puffing and terretorial displaying everytime I put him back in the cot...

    Hi Folks, My wife and I have a 5 month old rescue pigeon, named Pidge. She has had a pretty rough start in life, but she is a survivor. She is doing great, but is still reliant on being tube fed several times a day. We do hand feed her seeds, and she pecks them all day long, but just doesn't...
  18. Homing & Racing Pigeons
    Hi guys, this is my first post and a newbie to this hobby. I was just wondering if it is ok to give mineral water instead of regular tap to my homing pigeons. My pair of breeder recently hatched their egg and I'm thinking of mixing water with apple cider vinegar. Is that good for their young?
