Hello! Question on bands, I have a group of homers and I want to show some of there babies I will be hatching at some of the fairs this summer. Do they need to be banded to show them? If so what bands would I need. Can I use custom bands or do I need special ones. And where do you buy custom...
Hello! I’m looking for some pigeons for 2 of my little sister’s aviary! They are 9 and 4. We are looking to get some fantails or any fancy breed! Even mixed breed pigeons would be great! We aren’t looking to spend a lot of money on birds and or shipping as we got scammed $97 from trying to buy...
So my squabs are officially all filled out with their feathers now and looking very pretty! (And eating seed and drinking on their own). I'm curious about the one squab, though. I thought they were just both going to be that traditional gray/blue color, but the one squab has been getting darker...
Hey again guys! I'm getting low on feed so was looking at some different ones, and I wanted to switch to a better breeder mix. My pair currently has 2 squabs and I wanted to know if I should worry about the large peas in the breeder mixes. Will the squabs be able to digest them if the parents...
As you read the title you can probably assume this is my first pigeon. I saw a video on youtube about racing pigeons and was absolutely jaw dropped lol. I stood up til' 3 in the morning researching them and found a white homing pigeon for sale for $100.00. I bought it the next day haha. My plan...
I am retired and living with my daughter and her husband in Brooks, Alberta. They plan to sell their house and move to an acreage where we could have some small livestock, a big garden, a pond, etc.. I have always had chickens, even as a kid. Whenever I live someplace where I can keep some, I...
Hello! I know I'm not the only one here, who else doesn't have chickens? I want chickens, but due to city ordinances, I cant. But I do have pigeons and quail :) so who else doesn't have chickens? Join in!
It's -8 degrees outside right now (coldest night of the entire year so far) and my grizzle pigeon just hatched an egg! I think it was almost two days late, but it hatched. I was pretty worried about the cold, so I have two heat lamps in their loft right now, one a 150 watt and the other a 90...
How do I recall train pigeons? I have a couple rollers, and a few homing pigeons (I do pigeon rescue, so I never know what I’ll get next). Any advice would be great, thanks!
I want to do it as safely as possible, not a lot of predators in my area, but I really don’t want any of them to just fly...
Hey guys! So almost one month ago Fj lost his mate to IDK what(I assume internal bleeding post a hawk attack seeing as I was at work) but a week ago I bought my first actual breeding pairs of birds hoping theyd up my numbers somewhat....FJ stole a wife!!! Within 3 days I came out to find fj in...
So I was looking around on https://www.pigeons.biz/forums/ and I saw several posts concerning what appears to be a growing problem in the racing sport. These fanciers stated HORRIBLE race results https://www.pigeons.biz/forums/f14/losses-116038.html and most thought that cell towers are to blame...
I just barely bought some old german owls from Don Hall and I'm excited to start breeding next year. While the birds are blue and silver bars, (4 blues 1 silver) their prettiness makes up for the lack of color variety. I will post some pictures soon when the weather is nice. As for my Turkish...
Ok guys so if anyone who's seen my pigeon posts knows I have a resident coopers who passes through my yard and has had a go at my young birds a few times now early morning when I fly them! So I had actually moved their loft while their where still young enough to so theyed have more room to spot...

Hey guys! So as some of you know I recently got into pigeons and currently have five feathered friends on my hands but recently I've been thinking if its possible to change pigeons flight habits post regularity. As in, my birds do a quick 5 min loft flight each morning and then take off go about...
