My pet dove has something growing on the bottom corner of his beak. I don't think it was there a few weeks ago. It's 4am Saturday, no vets are open, and there or no good bird vets near me within 150ish miles, I cant go to vet today(saturday) and most are closed Sunday. Does anyone know what this...

I have had a catastrophe with my birds and would appreciate any advise from experiences fanciers as its a difficult situation with my pigeons and I a worn out and have ran out of ideas to help them. Sorry this post is going to be long. Background Story 1. I live in Thailand and keep pigeons...

So, I mentioned in a past post about the sick found pigeon I was taking care of, Chamomile. She's still improving every day. But on June 7th, a third pigeon was found at the plant. His condition went from bad to worse. For two weeks his condition went from bad to worse. It was like taking care...

It is the second time PT is insisting me on winning iPhone. Lol The first time avoided, I don't want anything for what I feel like to do :D but it is the second time, it does feel me bad to ignore someone who really is concerned to send me an iPhone. Who doesn't like a free iPhone? Lol Hey...

Hello I have fed a large group of pigeons for a few years now. today i noticed one was twisting his neck from side to side and twizzling round in the air, struggling to land etc, sort of like he was drunk. when i looked it up i guessed it is this virus poor pidge :(. Which is highly contagious...

Found a pigeon as I got off the bus on Monday, picked him up, Vet said he only has minor injuries, so I took him home. He didn't eat and tilted his head sideways, or upside down, really weird. So Wednesday I took him back to the Vet and left him there for observation. He said he didn't eat there...

I was wondering if any one knew about the pigeon herpes virus and if it was treatable or not. I received pigeons from a friend who recently had an out break of it in his loft and was wondering what I could do to prevent or treat it. Thanks.

Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone can help me here... I have a female donek who has mated with my Indian fantail male, and although they have hatched three sets of eggs this year, the babies keep dying. The longest any of them have lived for is 2 weeks. The parents are feeding the chicks and are...

Hello everyone. First of all I need to tell you that I don't know anything about pigeons or birds in general and the problems they might face. A few days ago I saw two black pigeons on my balcony. They seemed to me unwilling or unable to fly and I left them there. I thought they wanted to build...

My question is this....Can adult pigeons that have never been exposed to the adeno virus catch it?? If so, what are the symptoms? Are they the same as young bird sickness? Does it result in death if an adult pigeon catches it? Thank you!

Hi! Newcomer here, in desperate need of advice. :( I rescued a sick pigeon from the streets two days ago. He seemed hurt, and as it was pouring rain and very cold, I took pity on him. At the vet, I was told he has a neurological virus and is very unlikely to survive, but I was still given some...

Mieke is 10 years old and for the past few weeks, she has been gradually losing weight and becoming weaker. She wasn't eating with her usual enthusiasm and her poops were slimy and very wet. She started limping a bit and was unable to fly so I brought her inside and hand-fed small seeds and...

Its a racing/show pigeon. Its not wild. It fell out of the sky while flying, onto a roof. Not sure if it was belonging to the flock it was flying with or if it just joined them. It could hardly move when I retrieved it from the gutter. I am experienced with birds, but I'm not sure whats wrong...
