I have about 30 pigeons and have lost a few one having the head tilt and flying into walls. Mostly all my babies have been dying. Where do you purchase the vaccine that u use? I want to start vaccinating asap. And how much and how often do you add the apple cider vinegar in there water?
You wouldn’t vaccinate until about 30 days so if the babies aren’t making it that far no bueno. What kind of feed are you currently using? Cider is 1TBS per gallon 2 times per week!
@@guywiththepinkgun I'm using Browns premium pigeon food and I mix in sunflower seeds as well. 1 of the babies that died had a head tilt at about 2 months, 2 other babies that were mabey a month old died and had full a full gullet. Still whole food. I have never had a problem with that before now. I have only had 1 adult die did not show neurological signs so not sure on that one.
Years ago an all white, banded pigeon flew into a window of the house, broke the window & its wing. It almost looked like it had fleas in its feathers too. I nursed it back to health for almost two months. When I released her, she flew off onto the garage roof for while & then into the evening sky. Never saw her again but the owner must have been surprised seeing his pigeon back months later or maybe thats normal. Neat hobby I could see getting into one day. Great vid, thanks for putting out.
Knowledge is power, thank you for sharing your knowledge. My birds kick the nest bowls out as well. I take a drywall screw and I put a screw in the wood in front of the nest bowl to hold the bowl in place.
I appreciate the videos, but would add that emphasizing the absolute need for grit be noted, as well as a 2-inch front for the nests to prevent babies from being pushed out, or inadvertently crawling out and falling to the floor. Adding a landing board in front also would be beneficial. Again, though, your discussion of the medicines is helpful.
I would recommend lining the bottom of the cages with something like wood or maybe newspapers since those types of cage floors are bad for the pigeons feet. Otherwise interesting video :)
What prevent them from getting that sickness? Where they neck bent back? And they cant stand up? I hate see them sick like that.. sometime they recover from it
hello i have a pet pigeon i developed a bad cough from as indoor pet. i built a cage by my window and lookig to get her a friend. with her being alone or with one other bird should i worry about her catching diseases or is it when you have a loft with many birds who fly free? shes a pet who doesnt fly.
if you do suspect pmv or salmonella where the bird is very neurologically ill / flopping around head tilt etc do you recommend culling the birds out and disposing of them or what are your thoughts Guy With The Pink Gun
I had a pigeon fly into my garage last fall and I have no clue about them. Leaving from watching your videos Also is there a way I can find out where it escaped from? Because it keeps flying back to my garage like it belongs here! 🤷🏻♀️Help
@@guywiththepinkgun I gave it shelter for 7 months and just last month flew away and I figured it would return back to me! It did 2 times before! But now it’s been almost a month, no sign of its return😰 I am heart broken because these past few months I had gotten to love this bird! Just hoping it didn’t turn to bird food for the big cultures above!
I'm almost afraid to jump in here. I know what a pigeon looks like. ...and there you have the extent of my pigeon knowledge. My husband, who is fighting advanced cancer, was given 8 pigeons. Now, along with caring for husband, 14 chickens, 3 pygmy goats, 2 dogs, 5 cats ... I need info on caring for pigeons. Basics. VERY basic. We have 1 male and 7 females ... I think. How do you tell? How often for ACV? Can someone point me to somewhere I can learn? I'm not finding very many helpful YT videos. I'd appreciate the help very much.
I will be getting into pigeons soon and I would like to ask if you’re selling any birds? Say a pair ? If so what is your price? I like the feisty young red in your video, is it possible to get a bird like it?
any one help me sell my fantail pigoen pls i have them in my basment and they r breading crazy in 3 month time i lost about 15 eggs but i got three new babay and two femal sitting on eggs. need help i dont have cope just in basment all mess.

@@charabruner2843 this is strange. I would love to see more what your loft and setup looks like. Also did you notice any changes in droppings?
@@StandingStoneKennels I have not noticed much change in droppings. There was some that was more liquid but not a significant amount.
Would love to get pictures of loft set up to you. Not sure where to send pics, will not let me attach to this thread for some reason.

Thanks for checking out the video!
Regardless of your level of expertise in pigeons, it opens the door for discussion. I learn just as much from the comments.
Thanks for watching!
As long as you keep your loft clean and give your birds apple cider vinegar, grit, vitamins and exercise and sun you won't need vaccines
Interesting! We are flying at one loft races where they are more necessary!
Vaccines are required for one loft racing!

Great tip!!
Rock and roll! Thanks for watching!
Lovely! I have chickens, but am very interested in expanding my bird variety.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!

That’s related to viral issues often associated with PMV and you can vaccinate against that.

Sorry to hear on the cough. Being in the window should be fine.

Culling the bird for sure. It it is a really nice bird quarantine and see if it can make it.. but its typically really hard on them.
I would argue that grit is almost as important as medication.
Heck yeah! Thanks for watching!
What kind of grit do you use?
@@RainRedMusic Red pigeon grit with oyster shell or just oyster shell from tractor supply is best. 💪
Pigeons require shell grit to properly digest the food
With oregano oil, how do you use that? I think my bird had conjunctivitis and that would probably help. Should I dilute it and put it in the eye?
They make actual medicine available on vitakings we website for this!

have you had any loft outbreaks of pmv etc where you had casualties?
With our training birds we have in the past.
Training birds only.

Wow sorry for your loss.
Do more pegion videos I love them❤❤❤
Coming at you!
I think my pigeon has conjunctivitis, swollen pink membrane under its eye. Any recommendations?
Sorry to hear. Antibiotics.. amoxicillin possibly. Or more likely doxy.
How did the pigeon turn out?
I have 4 in a large cage. They keep breaking the eggs and every nest I make they push the egg out and remove the hay. Any suggestions?
How big is the cage?
Lets chat!
how did you do in the peach classic and the southern belle, they both had huge losses?
Well in the belle, lost them all in the peach.
Was sad to see the belle shut down, but ill be in the Peach for 2023
I'm wanting to get a pair of homing pigeons, will they stay just being two or will I need alot more for them to stay?
2 is no problem! More is better!
Raise the pair to produce young. Train the young to home 😎
How do you used this Tylan 200?
I would actually look at a new product called DoxyTy from vitaking.com
Where could I get cages like the white and green ones in the beginning of the video
Jedds pigeon supply!
I used to have nesting boxes like you but I had problems with chicks falling out of the nest. Any idea why?
Parents push them out.
Nail a 2-inch tall lip to the front of the boxes and have a 6-inch wide board jutting out from the lip as a landing platform.
Nice idea!
Thanks for watching!

Pretty much the same. :)
COOL video👍👍👍
Thanks for the visit
Do you have to worry about cryptococcus? I'm wanting to start my pigeon loft soon to train my pointers.
Personally I haven’t had any issues with this.
@@guywiththepinkgun ok thank you. I know it affects the immunocompromised in my region and is tied to pigeon droppings (El Paso area).
Nice
Thank you!
nice birds do you race in any club ?
Currently flying one loft races only.
What brand grit was that?
Versele laga
Jovarti is also good from VitaKing
