Hi all! I’m a new member in San Diego. I have rescue pigeons as pets and am looking to connect with other pigeon people to ask/answer questions, share tips, find available pigeons, etc.
Last year I bought a bigass bird cage and modified it into a nice loft, and obtained two pretty pigeons from Strombergs which got along well and decided to start a little pigeon family. Fantastic. So they had two little pigeon children and raised them up all nice and dedicated, as you do. I left...
Could I keep pigeons in my quail coop? There would be chicken wire type stuff separating them, but would they be able to give each other diseases and stuff?
thanks!
Welcome!
I have made this thread specifically to show off your lofts, aviaries, and other setups for the pigeons and doves of BYC.
The chickens have their stunning and elaborate coops flaunted, so why can't we do the same?
It's simple...
Just post some pictures of your setup (and maybe show...
Hi,
I live in Larimer county Colorado, and apparently shooting hawks is illegal here. I've never lost a chicken too a hawk but for some time now hawks have been killing my racing pigeons. I've been looking through county legislature and ordinances but mostly the laws are conflicting. I'm not...
Has anybody tried this? I have my pigeons a bit of fermented chickens feed (nothing in it that would harm them) and they tolerated it, and I think with a bit of time they would come to like it. I am debating about fermenting pigeon feed. Good idea or bad?
We are looking for pigeon keepers, and lofts in South Eastern Oklahoma. We are looking for racing homers, and would like to get into the sport. We are equal distant between Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Dallas. We've contacted the pigeon racing clubs from Dallas as we have friends that live in that...

Hello!
I was hoping to see if I could find some pigeon hatching eggs. I have a mated pair of pigeons that I can't let hatch babies due to genetic issues in their ancestry. They have 1 son from before the issue was found and they are an amazing couple/parents.
What would the price look like...
This is the first pigeon loft I have built. I have a small store-built loft for my pair of Birmingham Rollers, Cher Ami and Commando, but as I am expecting eggs and want to get some Homers I decided I needed to expand.
We found an old open-top wooden box at a desirable trash station and took it...

So I just got 12 little chicks in the mail on Thursday. I must note that this is my first time having chickens, but not birds. I keep pigeons as pets. I had already purchased the vaccines for them before I ordered. I ordered from Ideal hatcheries, and their website told me its best not to...
Zenaida and Streptoplia-
It has come to my attention that many keepers of doves have an interest in the natural behaviors of the species that they keep- because of this I will be publishing several articles describing the life histories of the species that I have seen first-hand in the wild that...

Hi! I'm a newbie pigeon owner. I will be making a new pigeon loft soon and am wondering what kind of flooring I should use. My current loft (I got it from friends, didn't make it myself) has hardwire cloth on the bottom and some cardboard I can slide around.
The loft will be made of a wooden...
Hi! I have two Birmingham Rollers in a small loft. I plan on making a bigger loft soon, but that's a different story! I am new to pigeons, I have had these two only a month or two. And I have a small problem.
I am currently using a chick waterer that I used to use for my chickens. But my loft...
