Hi there! I'm looking at getting my first pair of pigeons to keep as pets. I'm located in Hamilton, Ontario and I'm looking for leads for breeders within a reasonable road-trip distance and possibly some advice on what breed to keep? I've got a permanent loft set up and I'm just waiting on...

Sorry for the newbie question. I'm writing a screenplay on Homer's and trying to clarify some things. Can pigeons be re-homed at all? And if someone were to buy a champion homer, is there any benefit to keeping it? Doesn't it already have an established home? Could it still be used for...

I am considering buying some young homers that have not been flown. Can I expect them to home to my coop or will the revert to where they were hatched.

My husband and I found a stray, banded pigeon in our community garden. She is a lovely bird, some other forum members told me she looks like a roller pigeon. I have been advised not to release her back into the wild as she will likely not survive. She is healthy and only about one year old. We...

Hello, I am looking for a new home for my pet pigeon, Amelia. I am going to be moving to a much smaller apartment, and I will no longer be able to give her the space or the attention that she needs. A little bit about Amelia: I found her on a rocky beach about three and a half years ago. I...

Hiya all, I've just received notice that my home for the last 8 years will soon be going on the market. Thanks to Peter Jackson - I live in the same suburb as his studios and since he hit it big rent prices have soared around here - and the slowly decaying state of my house (the only reason we...

So, i have had my pair of tipplers for 3 1/2 weeks now. I let them out in my backyard to walk around everyday for around 2 hours (wings are clipped). So if I plucked their feathers right now and they take about 2 weeks to come back, would the pigeons come back? Would flying them one by one...

I am wondering if someone has any suggestions for assisting a friend in re-homing dozens of pigeons he has living in his house (yes, the house he lives in). It is illegal in this town (in New York state)to keep pigeons in any structure, and this situation can't be good for his health. He is...

Last week I brought a new pair of pigeons (both are rollers/high flyers). Wings were clipped by the keeper before giving them to me. They were kept as indivisuals in the old place and hence I paired them after bringing them to my place. THe person who gave me said that they are around a year...
