Very informative and covers all the basics of keeping pigeons. It answers all the questions a prospective pigeon keeper would need to know, but might not think to ask. And I love the pigeon pictures!

Very interesting, informative and unique article. I've always marveled while watching broody hens interact with their chicks. Broodies become very excited to sacrifice tasty food morsels, calling to their chicks with a sense of urgency, "Look what momma found!" When not broody, these same hens share with no one. Mesotocin production explains the reason for a broody hen's extreme change from normal hen behavior. It seems natural to make the connection that humans bond with birds the same as we do with dogs and other mammals. Friendly but non-broody hens produce mesotocin when closely interacting with their humans, and that we humans at the same time produce oxytocin, thereby cementing emotional bonds.

That photo of poor Edgar and his beak certainly got my attention to read your article and learn his story. You've done a great job helping him live the life of a normal chicken despite his a handicap.

This article had me laughing throughout, beginning with Guideline #1. I must however take exception to guideline #12. Sure, watching plain ol' eggs may be a good compromise. But candling a developing embryo inside an egg, and watching a chick hatch out of an egg, will likely result in a chicken tv relapse even greater than if the chicken tv addict had stuck to merely watching adult chickens.😂

Extreme detail using both words and pictures is very helpful to anyone wanting to use to the ideas here. The design is focused on functional use and safety from predators, but looks great too! And the fact the author of article did almost all the work/build by herself is very impressive.
Very informative and helpful article. I also appreciated the explanation re different absorption times of various calcium supplements. Will definitely be stocking up on calcium citrate.

Great pictures and very detailed information showing how the pepsi cooler was converted to a chick incubator. The prices of various parts used in the conversion was also included. A very interesting and informative article!
