  1. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Hey everyone! I'm happy that I have found an online community dedicated to these amazing birds. There is a couple of feral pigeons that has been visiting my balcony for over a year now. They live nearby. The male is very easy to spot among the other pigeons because he is brown, not grey. I...

    Hey all, Long story short, we have a Wood Pigeon (UK) who appears to have fallen out a nest (couldn't find the nest itself). They have their adult feathers, and all appear to be intact/undamaged. I've given it a once-over and there's no blood or obvious signs of injury, tail-vent area looks...
  3. Pet Pigeons And Doves
    I took in a wood pigeon a few days ago after my sister recused him from a magpie. I plan to keep him as a pet, but I also plan to go to college(uk) this year but I don’t want him to get lonely. Also I definitely do not want them to have children. And if it’s not too necessary I would be better...

    Hello! I befriended a pair of wild woodpigeons and have been feeding them on my balcony for over 7 years.

    Hi everyone, I am currently caring for a wood pigeon. I picked 'him' up from the side of the road, I was driving and saw something rolling around.

    Hi all, I've found a young wood pigeon in my garden. Initially, I thought it was injured, but now I have realised it is just a youngster. The wood pigeon isn't flying. He sort flaps a little bit but not very enthusiastically like he wants to fly and he doesn't take off (hence why I thought he...

    Hi all. Three weeks ago I took in some wood pigeon squabs and it's been pretty smooth sailing; they weren't visibly sick or injured when I brought them in and they've been doing great eating and drinking and are now weaned. They're about 5 weeks old. However, today, one of them seems a little...
