hey guys! within the week i will be a new pigeon mommy.
i have had birds in the past, but this will be my first...exotic?
i will be purchasing my racer/homer from a reputable breeder near me. it will be a black eagle with janssen blood.
however this is a very new experience.
ive asked all the below listed questions to the breeder and have also looked up information online, but of course other opinions are always a big help.
so thanks in advance to any and all of you who provide whatever info you can.
-i am looking to have a single pigeon for the time being due to living in a large apartment, but may consider more when i move into a house in the next 2-4 years. what are some opinions on having a single pigeon as a pet? please know it will be provided with tons of attention and only be kept in the cage when no one is home or there is cleaning being done around the house.
-i have a fairly large bird cage to keep it in (dont remember the exact measurements but its a good size for an active conure). what do you guys thing? again, it will have tons of out of cage time.
-training? i live in new orleans, which even if youre not from here, you know is a very busy city. what are some recommendations on going about doing this. i will be getting a fairly young one so is it best to start trainging inside the home? any tips? tricks?
-the breeder i am getting it from will be giving me a bag of his homemade blend and discuss food with me. but im open to other suggestions as well to keep a happy healthy bird.
-wing clipping? depending on training and life style what are opinions on keeping wings clipped? (yes i know this prevents flight, obviously)
-ive own cockatiels growing up so im familiar with basic bird care. as far as pigeons go, whats different when it comes to care and cleaning?
as ive said, ive asked the questions to the breeder and have done some research online but everyone's opinions are different.
hope to get some feedback soon.
thanks!!
