Small aviary on the back done and small one on the front almost done.

Well I have 8 birds in! A beautiful indigo bar hen, a black cock that isn’t in the picture, a nice grizzle pair, a splash/pied cock, and 3 blue bars, one with a white flight.

Could it be bronzing on the wings?

I’m sure if you play around with it for a bit you will! Cocks colors/genetics on left and hens on right. Input the info of the pigeons you want to figure out a color cross of and then hit the calculate cross button which will show you all of the offspring possible down below. Then you can...

I have the general idea on how to use it, still unsure on some on the meanings of colors but I played around with it a bit the other night and liked it!

I have had all sorts of birds (mostly outdoors) and acquired pigeons last a few years ago. I don’t keep mine indoors so can’t speak to that aspect but they are by far my favorite. If you are prepared for another animal then my suggestion is to go for it, I doubt you will be disappointed.

Finished the last two.

Found this link on another site and thought it was pretty cool. Not sure if it has been posted in the past but for anyone who hasn’t seen it and is interested here it is. http://kippenjungle.nl/kruisingDuifSpecial.html#qag

If a pigeon is on the nest all night it is normal for them to have nasty droppings in the am but depends how watery you are talking. I have also never had indoor pigeons. And you should replace the 2 eggs you take with 2 fakes so she doesn’t keep laying more right away because it takes a lot out...

6 down, 2 to go. When I moved I sold my drill press because I haven’t needed one for years. Well I sure wish I had it with these doors because I couldn’t keep the holes straight to save my life 😂😅

Got the first nest front built, pretty happy with it.

I will be starting new. The person who gave me my stock last time is going to hook me up with some new breeders and a few young birds again which is super awesome of him!

A few more pictures

Trying to keep it all self contained because at my last house I kept my feed in the garage but no garage at this property so I got a little storage area made for my feed can and one shelf made for odds and ends. There will be one more shelf the same size right below the first as well as another...

Well of course I can never remember all the things I need to put so I had to move some perches to make room for the trap and aviary entrance. Also turning my poop door into an outside access water area but will still be able to open it up to scrape through. Pretty happy with how it is coming out...
