pigeon parents

Ok well I have two pigeons that came from the same nest but I don't know much of anything about them. I had to take them because they were going to get thrown into a trash compactor otherwise. One thing I was wondering was how old they are which would be the first step towards properly caring...

Late afternoon, found him trotting around in the Parking Lot - Courtyard. Anyway, I have been doing a feeding method when they are not too little, where, having my finger's together in a sort of straight manner, like what one would do if doing Shadow Puppets say of a 'Duck'... The Squeaker (...

I'm just wondering if u release a bird that has lived with it's food provided since one month old has any chance of surviving if just released without integrating into a flock? I know it's not ideal. This is actually a question for someone else. I have a friend who just wants her bird to be...

I'll be getting my first 2 pigeons next week, and although I've read a ton there's some things that I'm getting very confused about and I thought you experienced pigeon parents would be able to help. First of all, what do I need to have on hand when they get here? Where do I buy pigeon feed...

Hi everyone, Same story you've heard many times on this board, but I have to post it again... About a month ago, a pigeon family moved into my balcony and laid two eggs. While both the eggs hatched about a week ago, only one of the two survived. The last seven days the parents have been...

:D Went out to the loft this morning and found the first egg had hatched. Little show flight #1 is snuggled under mommy and she is gently feeding him. He appears to be a robust little guy. I have to control myself to not go peek at him every 15 minutes.:p Now am waiting for egg #2 to hatch...

Hello, everyone! I found beautiful morning dove almost unconscious under my sliding door window this morning. I have bird crash prevention stickers all over my house windows but accidents sill happen due so many birds that come by my house and they have to escape from the Hawk that comes by...

My wife and I found a baby pigeon last august at the fair, featherless and on the ground. We watched it for a day and a half and the parents did not claim it.....so my wife did. She fed this bird which is full grown now. It obviously is more attached to her and is "usually" nice to her. This...

I had to post, as I DO have my first OOPS :eek: baby of 2008, but my son messed with the memory card on my camera and now it won't work, cause the pins are bent and the card won't fit properly. He/she was born January 25th and is being raised by Archamedes and Ken, who happened to be on overdue...

About 5 days ago, i found a baby dove in my backyard at the base of the date palm that is home to a flock of feral doves. Based on the day-by-day photos of racing pigeon babies here, I have concluded that she is about 17 days old now. http://www.speedpigeon.com/baby_racing_pigeon.htm At...

In about 6 to 8 days i should have 2 baby pigeon (hopefully). I think i know the basics but i was wondering if there were any "tips" you had. Thank You!!

Hello fellow Pigeon People, I have something I want to share with you all, but I am not sure how you will react to it. I have told you in a previous post that I had intended to take a pair of birds from the feral flock I feed each morning and attempt to have them breed in my spare room so...

Hey guys! Hi i'm incubating a 2 and 1/2 week old baby pigeon in my room, hes very large inside and started moving his back on the Air Cell just yesterday, trying to get through, atm his not moving, and i'm quite worried, a few people have told me not to let my hopes down for this little young...

Hello. I have no experience in hand-raising birds, but somehow got two hatchlings of fantails, and was feeding them with the mixture of Gerber (chicken), plain yogurt and vitamins and amino acids. They are fed three times a day, and when feeding I checked the size of the crop so that I am not...

I'm starting this thread for Landy ([email protected]). She contacted me this morning by PM regarding her 10 day old baby who's having some problems. I don't have the experience she needs and am hoping someone who does can respond. All I could think of to recommend is supplemental heat and probiotics...

Hi, I am handfeeding a baby pigeon. It was thrown out of the nest several times by the parents, who stopped feeding it, so I took it out of the loft at about one week and I am feeding him/her Kaytee Exact. The baby is about one month now, he's getting his feathers in and we've lovingly named...

I had a great experience with hand rearing two baby ferals as I'm sure some of you recall, but as they were raised together they have strong instincts that tie them to the wild and so I've decided to build them an outside aviary. I'm almost finished construction. :) The aviary is about 9 feet...

The baby was born on Saturday or Sunday (just one, no sibling) and I noticed it wasn't growing as fast as it should be. I could practically see my other babies growing overnight! I kept watching and only saw the parents feed it once, although I'm sure they fed it more than that since it's...
