I am working on a project and NEED about 100 small SOLID WHITE feathers. They are about 2 inches long not counting the quill and about 3/4 inches at the widest part. I would be unable to use any of the large ones. I know that this is a very strange request :confused: but just picking up a few...

Here's little Dee-Four it's his first day with his eyes open looking out at the big world. Look at the twinkle in that little eye. NAB :-)

hi everyone, a lady living in the sfv passed away recently and her friends are working to find good homes for all of her beloved pets. she had a group of doves (five i think) that come with their own cage. i know this is pigeon-talk but doves are basically a smaller form of pigeon right? humor...

I hope someone on this forum can shed some light on my boy's behavior. I acquired a male ringneck dove about six months ago. He has exhibited typical male behavior, the bowing and cooing. He even chases some of his "room mates" around the room. He is especially fond of my black rabbit...

Hi everyone, Was just wondering...kind of an academic question... Does anyone now whether Mourning Doves, and Ring Neck Doves, can be disposed to pair up to produce viable offspring? If say, a Ring Neck Hen and a Mourning Dove male were to find eachother in the same surrounds and felt the...

Hello, I am madanesor, I am new here, and just looking into pigeons as pets. I am not sure though- first off, are they freindly, affectionate? Do they like to sit on you? Or are they more to watch, and not interact with? If you buy one, how do you teach it to come back home if you let it out...

Well, Pidgey's being mean to me and making me post a thread... :rolleyes: Dumpty has something wrong with his feathers and he's plucking them out on his breast. 4 of all of the feathers that he's pulled out had what I at first thought were worms inside the quill. It wasn't a worm, just a...

I brought my doves inside because im not sure if morning doves migrate or not same for ring neck doves. :o I don't want them to be cold in the winter, I was just woundering do they migrate and can they go outside in the shed during the winter? same goes for my new collared dove because it...

I noticed this ever since I got Roger that every once and awhile he would sneeze repeatly ? It's not constant but once a day, I noted when I was pigeon observing in the park some would do it too.... Is this more like we do when we blow our noses ? Just to clear out the breathing passage ?

It as been four years that I enjoy online friends here. But this morning, I met a member who is also in Montréal! Auroraborealis was present for my breakfast with the feral pigeons I feed in a park every morning. I was so happy to meet her, for real :) We also went home and she met Tigeon and...

Hi Everyone, I have to let you know that I have a new birdies. Her name is Pearl, and she really adorable and just loves me. She likes to either sit on my hand or arm or my shoulder. My kids are mad because she will fly around but will come back to me and land on my head not on them. If they put...

Hi Everyone couldn't stay away. I am in Australia currently and my Mum in law needs some advice. She has a 1 year old Parakeet and he is healthy and as happy as ever but she is concerned about the fact that this little guy does too much piddling. Now I would say take the calcium away and...

I've had some problems with Canker last summer and now again this summer in the Wild Flock of Mourning Doves who visit my backyard feeders. To make a long story short, I have quite a few die last summer. I took one deceased bird to my vet and they diagnosed aspiration as the cause of death and...

There are 4 ring neck doves in the SF Bay area who need a home. 3 are located at the Martinez shelter and 1 is at the San Jose shelter. Please contact me if you are in the area and could provide a nice home for these doves. Thanks! Tina Keller [email protected]

In addition to our 80+ pigeons we have six ring-neck doves, five of which are rescues, one we raised. Three of them I adopted just a month ago. I came downstairs to make dinner around 6:00 the other night, looked out the sliding glass door to the patio and saw (so I thought) one of my pied...

overall do Pigeons cost much to look after as pets? or are they quite cheap with the food being simple seeds, peanuts and water if there is a big cost, it must go towards a loft, as they can be costly but what about the other things such as pigeon toys (treats) and vets (healthcare)...

Hello All, I'm new to doves, but I have noticed that my dove's droppings have changed. They used to be small spheres. But now they look like long, thin strands of spaghetti! Each dropping is one long, single strand. The color is a little greener, but not much. My dove is a little...
