Hello everyone, To start off, my name is Jade and I live in (very) rural East Tennessee. I have just recently started keeping pigeons as pets, and currently have 6 show breeds. Two of which are mixed 2 week old babies that were completely on accident. I have decided to join this forum because I...

Hi..., I have a hen who is sick from a week. Wheezing sound is coming when she breath, especially in sun. The throat is clear. Droppings are dark green not watery. She reduced interest in feeding. She just want to slam his head to the ground. Does her head pain? She shakes her head every few...

I hope you can help me: I have a 2-year-old male dove who just started moulting for the season and seems to be having some respiratory issues. He was just fine yesterday morning, cooing his face off and flying all over the place, but after a very heavy grooming session, he started sneezing...

Hello, Please, please read and advise, desperate. In June, my pigeon (english short faced tumbler) was sick with what we thought was Salmonella/Ecoli/Coccidiosis. After 10 days on Sulfa AVS, he improved. Last weekend (6 days ago), he began showing similar symptoms to what he used to have. Not...

Hi, I know nothing about pigeons; I am completely new to this. I don't think this is an emergency, but I thought this would be the best topic to post in. I brought home nine homing pigeons earlier this month. Eight of the group were out of the same loft and appear to be around the same age...

Hi, I've had a feral ringneck dove now for a month. I believe he's young but healthy, or so I though. After a couple days of finding him, he would coo and sing all the time, loved attention and affection and perching on my shoulder wherever I went. For the past 2 days he has been wheezing when...

But when he was showing me her I noticed a slight wheezing sound coming from her . There was no discharge and she felt okay no lumps . He gave me...

I just brought another pigeon into the house; when I went down to the loft to tidy up & feed/water the flock, I heard an odd rhythmic sound, but since it was windy, at first thought the roof turbine was off-balance, or something. Then, I realized it was a pigeon's breathing. It almost sounds...
