Hi everyone, I'm currently looking at getting a pet pigeon and I think I would need some advice.
I have done a lot of research on pigeons including their behaviour and attitudes however I still have some concerns.
1. I was wondering if pigeons are okay being indoor pets. I don't mind the mess and I'm willing to clean its cage everyday (I'm thinking about converting a large doggy crate), when outside I'm planning on buying pigeon pants/flight suits.
2. Are pigeons loud? Next year for about 1 year I will be living in university accommodation, and I will basically have one room to myself. The walls are very thick however I am still worried about disturbing my fellow students. And is there a difference between male and female pigeon in terms of vocalization? (something like a budgie would scream too loud and be heard from the outside)
3. Is there a difference between male pigeon and female pigeon in terms of their personality and how they are as pets?
4. This is probably my biggest concern but I am planning on getting one single pet pigeon and I have read many different opinions on the matter. I understand that pigeons do much better with their own flocks however given the situation there's no current way for me to keep a flock, however I will be able to give it plenty of attention, would I be able to meet their emotional demands?
Thank you so much for taking your time and reading my post
