When I went downstairs to take care of the pigeons this morning, I found drops of blood here and there on the floor. My first thought was that one of the silly little quail that are living there till they can catch a ride to Sacramento must have gotten injured. They are small and frolic about...

Hi Everyone, I just joined a pigeon site called PigeonElite.com. After doing that it allowed me to download a list of pigeon sport related terms, a Pigeonary is what they call it. It has a load of words that I did not know, but surely many of you professional and non-professional but...

Hi everyone :) Last weekend while I was meant to be working with one of my horses a baby dove managed to fly into the mirrors around the outdoor. I went over and scooped her (?) up so the dogs wouldn't eat her and she was obviously in shock, so I took her into the barn, sat her in my cap and...
