temperature

Hi, I was in a discussion about keeping pigeon in winter. In Islamabad,Pakistan temperature goes as low as -3C. I always cover my loft to avoid direct wind exposure, but keeping ventilation . My point is, pigeons are warm blooded and they may survive in very cold weather but they will use their...

Hi, I joined about a week ago when I found a squab in the rain (many thanks on those who commented on my thread, it really helped a lot and he's doing better) I've gotten a 1m by 54 by 52cm cage for Spiffy, and will be adding a couple platforms when they arrive tomorrow. We're planning to let...

Hello My neighbour is in her late 80's. Her husband had a chicken and a pigeon in a small coop in their backyard for ten years. He passed away 7 years ago, so she has been looking after them since. Just a couple of weeks ago, the chicken died a horrible death from rats! She called me to come to...

The high on the race day is supposed to be 99 degrees. All of the birds have been to a race at least 188 miles. This is a 200 mile race and next week is a 250. So what is your limit? How hot is too hot? Thoughts?

i'm just wondering how cold a pigeon can get before it dies

If i was to incubate pigeon eggs what temperature would the eggs have to be?:confused:

Hi everybody! Three days ago I found two pigeons building a nest on my balcony. The next day there were two eggs in the nest, and I decided to put up a webcam to watch them from a distance. You can watch them here: http://www.livestream.com/ratcage1 "The internet" named them and suggested to...

So how hot is too hot? It has been in the nineties here lately and our house's central air is broken. :( Will Stanley get over heated in these temperatures? How tolerant are pigeons to high/low (extreme) temperatures? Thank you all!
