just recently moved to delaware, looking for any guys/gals who keep pigeons

There's been quite a few calls lately at the animal hospital where I work about found pigeons :) Tonight a woman called and said a lovely white pigeon walked through the door of the kitchen at the hotel where she was working lol. She brought the pigeon in and I took it home. It's a smaller...

:confused: Does anyone use Redcell vitamins and if so, how much do you mix in their water? How much per gallon? George

I have seen many posts about PMV and I find it very disturbing that so many are being diagnosed with this virus when I believe that it is entirely possible that some of these birds merely have a vitamin B deficiency. The symptoms are the same. The nervous system is affected and tremors, loss of...

today we found an injured pigeon in our backyard. It has a puncture wound under his wing. There is a light brown band his leg, but it is blank. Right now he is in a cardboard box with some towels under our picnic table, we are going to bring him inside soon so he won't be cold outside. I live in...

How old is a pigeon before it usually leaves the nest? I also read somewhere after the young have hatched you should place another bowl and in 2 weeks the pair will lay more eggs and the father tends more to the young. Is this correct? Does anyone know where there is something that shows a Life...

Had the camera out this morning. The first video is of one of my very first hatched young birds, who is obviously a cock bird. He's either the last or one of the last birds to trap every day. He's very stubborn and I think HE thinks he's a lady's man. He spends most of his day with a hump in his...

After truly enjoying the few wild pigeons that called my barn home, and developing a relationship with them, I have decided that I may wish to pursue pigeon keeping. I'm not new to birds, but pigeon requirements are a little different than most. I've kept quail, turkey, chickens, finches...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2SDXh4WBK8&feature=related Would you shoot a hawk if it were attaking your birds? I wouldn't. I can't believe that there are some really big pigeon lovers out there who would shoot hawks and falcons to protect they're birds. :mad:

Hi to everyone I thought i would take a second to introduce myself to you all, I am chris (white grizzle) i am located in the United Kingdom. I have chosen the nickname white grizzle due to the two new families of birds i have brought in namely Roland Janssens and his club mate Ronny de...

You can learn so much by finding a pigeon club in your local area and joining. Go to the National Pigeon Association website...search the web, and I'm sure you'll find a club near you. Find the breeds you love, work with them and show your birds. It's a lot of fun. You will never regret it...

The mother of a set of 5 day old chicks was just killed by a hawk......will the father be able to finish raising the chicks... Any suggestions?

Hi folks ... hope all is well with everyone. My beloved couple, Pete (hen) & George are doing well. George continues to be a cantankerous and funny pijjie, while Pete is her usual sweet self, hopping into my hand for petting from time to time. I have a question about Pete's egg-laying, and...

I will like a good pair of racing pigeons to breed and start with good birds,I dont find any good racing pigeons here in Miami, I dont know any breeder here. I would love to get a good pair of breeders from someone. Thanks..If I have to pay something I will.

i have to post my mind on this as i have noticed in my time on this site (somewhat short)that there have been a number of people that have left this site due to a number of reasons.the thing i am finding interesting is in most cases it has been "moderators" and long term folks-or comments from...

Dear pigeon fanciers, I have an announcement to make about a new online service for pigeon breeders and fanciers that finally launched today after a year in making - www.loftorganizer.com. It is basically a pigeon management software that is always available online and there is no download or...

Hi all. Well, my initiation to this chatboard started out so positively, w/ a post under "found pigeons" eliciting some wonderful advice from a whole bunch of good folks. While the raising of my saved baby goes well...unfortunately, I have realized that my wild pals who live around my building...

My wife and I found a nest on our porch two weeks ago. We noticed pigeons flocking on our porch for a few days before we found the eggs. We think there were actually 3 eggs, but our dog got to one before we found the nest. However, for the past two weeks the parents have been sitting...
