Good words from Hokum coco, he is pretty spot on having many years of practical knowledge and experience. Everywhere is supposedly getting hit onand off with different sicknesses ect causing all sorts of outcome. I find it's lil wild migratory birds that are getting into lofts or around where...

I've heard people train tumbler breeds in action or family name only (tipplers/tippletts, high fliers, flying flights, ect) to come to them or trap to mobile lift, letting them get ferals/strays attention then calling or tossing food to mobilr loft trap and maybe tossing down droppers (I use...

With this heat here, I've heard of parents stopping feeding Young that are already running around but not feeding themselves. I hope not problem for you too. I had this happen one year it was over a 110F for weeks seemed and I switched mine to to lr pellets and ice water making sure nest area...

Just get some superglue ect to apply as cut along line of wattles, loves, then comb,using comb as handle until grab scruff temp to cut comb. It actually bleeds the more you leave attached, but you would stop as apply the bonding agent (was originally developed to close wounds in field...

Pigeon pie! Ilike fersls/strays, they usually are savy ect. Great breeds sometimes. Good luck!

I knew a breeder that when he moved all his prized expensive American show rollers lost their legs in transit as they caught their breeder bands on container, ripping them all off.. he just used some sav thate stops bleeding and infection in sport dogs and continued to leave as we're in cage...

First off.. pigeons unfortunately lose legs in captivity and the wild, all the time,for many reasons, and they recover fully on own, never even losing their socal status, ability to breed or care soley even for Young. I've seen this professionally and personally (I've never had happen to mine...

I've heard firing fire works bevbef releasing birds, especially aimed at/where Hawks are or hang out good. Pepper round paint ball guns shot at tail and wing feathers works. Ect things. Trees ect actually attract and provide forest type Hawks ambush places.. as sadly I cam attest personally...

My buddy tried and the canary hassled pecking t doves eyes until dove brokr canaries neck after chasing and wearing out then cornering in big cage. I've hears of people in big cages with hiding places on ground for, keeping button quail with canary, but they all bate around like lil weirdos,so...

Awesome!

Most just use gentler general "Adams" flea spray, one spray under each wing and tail, as feather lice not too bad just annoying if show or want optimal flying performance when getting too many, but as soon as you bring I to an area, the lice get shaken everywhere within about a hundred feet or...

The metabolism may slow some and hatch a day or so late, but probably won't do harm, as have had pigeon eggs nest get full of cold water in sudden storms, and after drying and putting in new nest with dry materials, they warmed and hatched days later than scheduled, sometimes slightly...

With major racers I knew up north, and some homer keepers here, they've had closed lofts that.breeders and squeakers couldn't see out at all like sheds with vents along top of walls and grated or solid floors, and they've sold,/given away at three weeks or sooner depending on how fast sqeakerss...

We have a young guy staying with us that's getting on his feet,and hopefully doing ok while we are gone taking care of caged animals scattters around, but he enjoys feeding free range and caged critters off back porch when we are home even.

Maybe keep older one up and or try to find it a mate once can guess it's sex hopefully, as I've had older birds take young ones home with them. GoiG luck!
