I have been reading, and following your Luv-Child pigeon story... and really enjoying,, and glad you are nursing him back to health. Oh,, to answer your ????,,,,,,,,,,,, I think it will sort itself out in short time. The growth of pigeon is rapid. I think the muscles, not bones are...

Is he one of 2 that hatched??? and if so,,, how is the other one doing??

StinkyAcres If you do decide to keep the solo pigeon,,, you can make it a house pigeon. It can be trained to imprint only on you. You can train it to be paper trained as well. One member that has not been active here on this thread in recent times kept a single house pigeon. @Serin has...

I agree here. :goodpost:,, Also wanted to add. Uncooked rice is not digestible in chickens, so may also hold true for pigeons. If it is a tumbler,,, the pigeon is not very far from home. May have been chased and escaped an areal predator. They have no homing skills to speak of. Aside...

Qwerty3159 The hawk problem is more intense during migration in your area,,, If I recall correctly??

You do what is your BEST option/choice. Since you did ask,,, I will offer my opinion. If your sick pigeon was suffering, and carrying something, contagious,, and it was treatable/curable, YES have him treated so not to infect rest of flock. From reading your posts,,, seems whatever condition...

Improvement is always encouraging. :hugs

That pigeon is from somewhere nearby. Those don't fly far. Must have escaped someone's' home, or loft.

How far away does her previous owner live from you??? Often times, they don't want their pigeons back for various reasons. Have too many at present. Doesn't want a pigeon with poor homing skills. Pigeon not worth the travel expense. Generally, pigeon fanciers place valid bands with current...

Kiki Are you still enjoying your feral flock ??? and providing treats occasionally??

I used to close their exit door after they flew out for the days' flight. My trap was a Sputnik I mage myself. I really like the Sputnik style. Qwerty3159 Is the danger of the migratory hawks past already in your area?? I know there are still resident hawks, but the numbers are less...

I always discouraged winter hatches. Switched out eggs with plastics. But,,,, a couple times I did get a surprise hatch during cold. Since my loft inside garage is way up high,,, I placed a light with an incandenscent bulb under the floor where the nest was located. It took the...

On this pigeon forum,,, you can read many articles/posts and opinions about housing chickens and pigeons together. No one suggested doing such as I recall. Those that did keep together,, were not by choice, but by current circumstances. One person I recall, had the top portion sectioned off...

How is your pigeon doing now???? Its been 10 days

Personal view,,,, If you don't want to have a breeding program,,,, (I assume you switch eggs with plastics).. SKIP getting a hen for him. Let him just enjoy the company of the rest of the loft pigeons.

You hit the nail directly on the head... :thumbsup

I'm not totally knowing about peregrine falcons,,,, but assumed they were mainly after fish ??? I might have that crossed with another predator :idunno No peregrine falcons in my area.

Those birds look just fine. let me offer you my thoughts. The coop is quite small,, I know its a starter,, but it is still small. Housing for pigeons is usually referred to as LOFT. Some of the other ones in sellers pictures are larger, and more suitable. If you want to have coop to...

Amer,,,, I gave your post a :yuckyuck . Here is my view of why pigeons make poor style nests. BTW, I used to make nice nests in plastic bowls to contain nice hay. My pigeons used those . There are drawbacks to such,, as I will explain. A flat nest with a few sticks, such as feral pigeons...
