I have a pigeon and a dove, both rescued when they were babies. They are my children, and I love them very much, and yes, they do require a LOT of attention from me.
Hey coyote520 ! It takes a person with a big heart to rescue a pigeon and a dove! When I read comments like yours, it brings me joy... cuz there are still kind people out there like yourself! :) Hahahah, right?! birds are very needy pets! :D.. it's adorable though.. and that's what I really like about them! :D
@@mylittlepigeon278 I have rescued many, many animals. They all require a lot of work and patience. My pigeon and my dove, are both very special. Their personalities are always amusing, and they are extremely loving birds. They follow me around the house, and always keep life interesting. How many old school cowboys do you know of, that would rather hang out with his birds, rather than go hang out at a bar? Lol
What breed was your first pigeon? I’m interested in adopting or buying from a breeder and it would be nice if you could help me out. I just want a normal looking pigeon like your first one with no feathers on there legs. Thank you so much if you reply
back in the '80s I rescued a pigeon from our back alley that couldn't stand or fly though I never figured out what was wrong with him (or her?)... a few weeks of TLC in our house seemed to do the trick and it eventually could move about just fine! it flew out, and would fly back in whenever a door or window was opened sadly by that point my parents wouldn't let the bird stay with us anymore, and I guess it finally learned to stop trying to come visit. but I still think about my pigeon whenever I watch your channel
Hey, Xofer21! Thank you so very much for coming back to watch my video.. even though, there is a very long break between the times when I post anything :( I really appreciate your time! Thank you for sharing the lovely, and yet sad story of yours. It warms my heart knowing that there are people like you out there who don't stay ambivalent to the injured trivial animal like pigeon! But it's sad for me to hear that eventually, your parents didn't let the bird to stay with you..... You said that it was back in the 80's.. long time ago, and yet, you still remember this pigeon.... isn't it fascinating how those small creatures can get into our hearts so fast and stay in our thoughts forever.
Im so glad that you're still making videos. You do the best pet pigeon videos on TH-cam. They're both thoughtful and entertaining. Thanks and keep at it.
Thank you so very much, Sisterstate7216, for your comment with such a positive feedback! It made my day! :D I'm very happy you find my videos thoughtful and entertaining! And yes, I'm still making videos and I still have a lot to share on the topic of pigeons :D. It's just hard to find time between work to make videos. But reading your very supportive comment, definitely encourages me to try and find more time for this! :) So.. thank you very much for taking your time and writing your comment for me!
I really love watching your videos. You have such a great talent for video making - perfect personality between entertaining and informative. You have a great sense of humor. I think if you made more videos, you’d definitely build your subscriber count (assuming that’s something you want). I hope you make more videos. I subscribed after the first video I watched. Btw, I’m originally from Kiev Ukraine but I came to the States at age 3 (I’m 49 now). ❤
This is exactly how it went for our budgies. We'd spend everyday with our first one for years, him out the cage with us and toys, he developed bad hormonal issues and had to hump his toys everyday. Despite our constant attention and bonding with him, and making sure he had a good diet/vet visits said he was okay, and we always tried to keep his hormonal behaviour down in every way we could. When we got the second bird, his hormonal issues stopped. He doesn't hump any toys anymore, or the other budgie, he is more himself again :) however, like you said...they aren't that close, they bicker and refuse to share food and the new bird is young and fiesty, however they're bonded and will preen and feed eachother despite not being super chummy ❤
love love love this whole video i currently have, umm, 6 pigeons (plus a feral who is in a crate recovering from a badly broken leg). there was definitely a shift in dynamics as each new pigeon arrived - they have all been found as babies and hand raised and have underlying issues that made releasing them impossible. they are great company and lots of fun. i say this even after the newest pigeon (9 weeks old) decided she was now sleeping in my bedroom a couple of nights ago and woke me up by jumping on my face the last 2 mornings. and i still stress about leaving them when i go out of the house.
I saved a pigeon one day and kept her 1 month she had PMV virus, she was very afraid of me. I like them even if they poop a lot, I feed them from my window. Your birds are beautiful.❤
I have been in those situations a couple of times. In my cases, my birbs would go in depression without a mate. I would never let that happen. I always made sure that they had someone.

Oh my god. This is so fine to watch. It is amazing, so cute to see both of you, friend for ever. Best friend ever. It is cute she follow you every where ❤ and love to see her cute and protected space at your desk ❤
Toby and Bonnie are so adorable! I fully agree with you. We tend to think on behalf of our animals and think they need company when in fact they are happy just being by themselves and that they have us all to themselves. It’s the sense of guilt in us that when we are not home, they’re lonely. I believe they do, but on the other hand, they would get used to it. Perhaps?
I've had a very similar experience with my cats -- I used to have one following me around, now I have two (unless my partner is home, in which case the younger cat goes after them lol). And no they don't get along, they just tolerate each other and sometimes cooperate in mischief. This was a lovely and informative video! Thank you!
It was a long wait since your last video, I was quite curious what happened to your two pigeons. It's nice to see that they have hit it off now. I hope the next video don't take so long. PS. By the way, I really liked your drawings, you do a great job.
Hey, Mark! Thank you so much for watching my video... ah, you are so sweet! I didn't know someone was wondering, why I didn't post video for so long. Your comment made me smile! ... and yeah, unfortunately, it takes a while for me since I work full time... making videos about my birds is just a hobby.... Your comment definitely made me more motivated to do my best at scheduling LOL P.S. Thank you so much! Those drawings took a while actually (even though it doesn't look that way XD)... i'm very bad at cartoony stuff :D, but your feedback boosted my confidence! SO thank you for being so nice!
It's good that you are bringing up this topic. I have dozens of rescued pigeons at home and have observed that they form pairs with those they find sympathetic. You can't just take any two pigeons, put them together, and think it will be fine. I offer people the chance to temporarily take their pigeon, and with a bit of luck, it will pair up here. Then I return two pigeons to them. I wish every pigeon owner had such an opportunity. When they are in a true pair, it's a beautiful sight.
Just found your channel and I love everything you do! Not just pet pigeon content which is sacre but also your editing and scripting! Also you, as a personality and your humor (might be because I'm slavic tho). Subscribed and I will binge watch all your content soon ❤ because this is only the second video I saw
very cool. I just subscribed to you yesterday, because I became interested in pigeons because of watching video about comparing speed of pigeon mail and internet network. Nicola Tesla had a pet pigeon. You and your pigeons are very cute together. Your videos are a gem.
Thank you so very much for watching my videos! I'm very happy you found it worth subscribing! It means a lot for me! I really appreciate your comment and such a positive feedback! It definitely puts a smile on my face when someone finds my pigeons cute and my videos about them a gem! :D WOW! a speed of the internet vs pigeon mail?! interesting... I didn't even know there was a video about that.. I gotta look that up :D Sounds interesting :D....Oh I heard that too, that Nicola Tesla had a white female pigeon and really loved his bird like no one else!.. I don't know if it's true or not.. but if it is, it's a very beautiful fact! :D
I could not handle my birds following me everywhere, I would cook and eat them I'd get so annoyed! 😂 But that's why having a mated pair is perfect for me. They're in their own little world, just like me. Except when its peanuts time. Then they are AAAALL about me lol
This was so helpful, I currently have one pigeon that’s bonded to me and thought about getting another one to keep her company while im gone/working/etc, but think I’ll just stick to my one. She’s already jealous when I have people over so I can’t imagine how she would be with another bird 😂
Yeah, sticking with one could be a good idea. I am in your situation, thought my pigeon was lonely as my new job requires more hours. Now... my Sesame is trying to kill the new pigeon, I need to separate them all the time.
First of all, if you are experienced at this, the pigeon you adopt is very lucky to have you. Secondly, they're very easy to train, entertain, and are very loving. Thirdly, they are smart.
I just watched all your videos. Your editing and humour is so wonderful! The mix of informative and entertaining is perfect! I'm hoping to welcome my first pigeon friend into my home this year and after watching your videos I'm even more excited! Thanks for making these wonderful videos!! :)
So true .. I hand-feed pigeons on my top floor balcony here in Montréal, Canada, and they re sooooo jealous of each other and stake out their turfs!!! They are really adorable. And listen to me. They don’t mind when I pet or tease them since they eat on my hand, on me, etc.but not too long. Lollll. If I only had one perhaps but they make each other edgy since they’re wild city birds and there’s at least 15 different who come visit me. They all have their own personality I’ll tell you. I even feed two very young ones with still a little squeaky cooing yet. I feed them peanuts!!! They adore peanuts and rice. I’m trying safflower seeds tomorrow. I have to use it all up..
definitely appreciate how informative, these little big complications and decisions, consequences, mechanics. that are so real, and not how you/i thought, but we got to deal with it now the situation turned the way it did. the comments are also useful with their different experiences. a key word/mechanic i just got from another video is to be careful with imprinting. you're first only i guess of course, it imprinted as you're mate and then the competitive unclear relationship with another burb. one "should"have let the birds pair up and relate like that to the owner, But i love the video (s openness/honesty/good faith/whatever, perfect or whatever) the situation is something and we'll figure it out. .. with lots of experience and love (and pain) 'And God looked at his creation and saw that it was good'
Beautiful colors . I had birds for so many years. Ended up having over 100 birds. And they are awesome pets. Mine were outside. In a pigeon loft. Eventually I had to part with them. For medical reasons. But hopefully down the road I will get back into it. Love pigeons.
You have to let them fly outside and they will always return to you but you have to train them. I had 30 pigeons when i was younger they always flow outside and come home in the evening. So my tips for you to let them enjoy flying outside. Good luck 🙂
what a fantastic and adorable video! the part where you described your extremely busy social life made me chuckle. also i love your chill editing style :)
Thank you so very much, Thewurstcase261, for watching my video and leaving your comment! I really appreciate the feedback! You mentioning that one part of the video made you smile - totally made my day!.. so THANK YOU! :)
Thank you, There is so little about keeping pigeons. I had a Goffin's Cockatoo for years and she was a rescue. And also a handful. Saturday I will be picking up my first rescue Pigeon.
I rescued a pigeon. Still had its yellow feathers and had to be hand fed. I’ve had it for 7 months now. His or her name is Omelet. Daughter named him or her. I released it one day thinking it would not come back. It left so quickly. I was sad. Many hours later I find it on the lip of my garage. He or she lets me pick her up only when she wants to be picked up. 😆 Would hang out on my shoulder when I’m working on something outside. Now it’s become a normal routine. I force her to explore the outside world by releasing her around 6a and when I open my garage around 10a she flies right in to drink her water and eat her seeds.
Started coming to this channel to do some research while I attempt to rescue an abandoned pigeon in my back yard. I've tried everything but he's too smart and healthy to fall for any of it. Called NPA and he's abandoned (black band, no numbers). I have his home all set up in my room and everything but I just can't get him somewhere safe. If this doesn't work out I think I will end up adopting but it breaks my heart to think of losing this guy.
I think this applies to other bird species too. My cockatiel has had two cage-mates. The first one lived with her for four years and died the day before I brought her home. She did not care at all. I bought her another companion bird years later, thinking she was lonely while I was in school. The bird also died in front of her. Again, she did not care. She's a human-loving bird lol.
Argh… didn’t know you updated with this video. If only I’ve watched this, wouldn’t have gotten a second one. My sesame is trying to kill hazelnut. I need to separate them.
Thanks a lot for such a great video 😀 I live with two wondetful pigeons as well. But my story is a bit different: they're a couple and both of them stay with me sine the beginning. But twice I brought to my appartment two others, a girl and a boy, both have got a neurological disease. While each of them were recovering, when I knew it was safe for all of them, I let them spend a little time together. And yes, I agree with your observations and opinion: pigeons are veeery social creatures, incredibly and deeply "in" relationship with their mates (pigeons or human being, or both 😃), but they're territorial and jelous as well. Exactly as you told and desribes 🙂 Greetings from Poland!
I rescued a homing pigeon 4 years ago , I had a 10 year old cat that got along with any animals but cats , luckily they got along but both never got more than a couple of inches to each other , cat in my lap pigeon on my shoulder, unfortunately my 15 year old cat passed away a month ago and she would look for him , they kept each other company when I had to go to work ! She seems ok now
I ABSOLUTELY love your videos, I just discovered your channel. I have one bird already, a green-cheek conure named Piggie, And, two guinea pigs named Tiramisu and Cappucino! Anyway, I have thought for so long to get a pigeon and your videos are so cute and entertaining (dont forget informational) but thank you for your content
Pigeons are smart one of mine could open the seed drum lid and jump inside to Eat - Recognised faces every letter of the alphabet - they have probably read all your books while you are away
ive wanted a pigeon for an incredibly long time, and recently thats just increased by the TON because i got to pet one in person (a friend of mine owns two!), now, i usually stay cooped up at home all the time, but i have school, which is several grueling hours being bored for both me AND the potential pigeon. id be fine with getting two so they dont get sickly depressed, but im also nervous about them potentially being TOO focused on EACHOTHER, or.. simply hating eachother and then i have double the poop cleanup to take care of. i know the easy solution is just,, "dont get a pigeon then!" but they really do seem like a perfect match for me, and the first option if i ever was allowed to get a small winged animal.
beautiful pigeons! what you can do, if you have one pigeon and thinking of getting her someone to mate with, is rescue street pigeons.. maybe one time there will be one your pigeon will fall in love .. I work in pigeon rescue and that always happened after some time..
I just found a pigeon that was flopping on the floor like a fish so I took it home and I’m making him better his foot is no good but I’m gonna keep trying 🥰 I’m glad I came across your video ❤️
There is a problem with keeping birds indoors. They become adapted to the heat. And if anything happens to you, or you part with them, other owners put them outdoors and they freeze which is a very painful death. I've even seen this happen to a barn owl that was confenscated from it's owner because they kept it indoors. I tried to tell the falconry owner it had been placed with by the authorities why it was shivering, but they would not listen, and a couple of weeks later after sleeping outside in winter the bird was dead. And what a very slow and painful way to dye.
Got one male pigeon I spend most of the day with, but as my days get busier, I'm thinking of giving him a partner. Even now it is still a blessing to have just one, but I will keep my options open.
Thank you so much, EyGTFOhere, for watching my videos and your very positive comment!.. no, it's I'M GLAD, that you find it worth coming back and watch new stuff that I poste! :) It inspires me knowing that you like my videos! SO thank you! I'm back yes... I mean... I technically never left... :D .. It's just hard to find time to make videos between work, that's why the break in between my posts is soo long :(... but there is still quite a bit I want to share :D
Ты мега молодец) у меня тоже сейчас живёт сизарь, подобрал под дождём молодого не полётного, уже 2 раза вылечил от вертячки, сейчас здоров как бык) но живёт так же дома на кухне, может подберу ещё этим летом больного и будет ему друг)
Long Story 5:30 THIS is what happened when I gave my male Betta fish, Matsuda, a girl Betta, he would be aggressive with other fish because his race was trained for hundreds of years to fight against other fish, and surprisingly, this happened with a fish of his same kind, she got kind of injured even tho she didn't do anything to him or wanted to start a fight, it was on Matsuda's instincts, but the good part is that we had another aquarium where we had many fish of different species that all were friends each other, so I introduced her into that aquarium, and she was never so happy!!! She would follow other fish anywhere and eat all the food I gave her! 😢Sadly, months later she died bc of her previous injures😢😢
My rescue pigeon goes through spells of wanting to pack his bags and leave. He is a homer. He wants to fly home and he will get over that in a month or two. I have been down the road of thinking another cat will be swell. It never works out like you think.
Hey, Chris5942 ! Thank you for watching my video and sharing a little bit about what you are dealing with. You have a big heart that you rescued a pigeon! It warms my heart knowing that there are still kind people like you out there! The description, that your pet pigeon wants to pack his bags and leave made me laugh (not the fact of it , but the phrasing). And yes, It'll take time for him to get used to the new place... you know that already :) And totally agree with you: it almost never works out as you think! :D
@@mylittlepigeon278 People think I am nuts when I tell them his story. I assume it is a he until an egg appears. When I first saw him, I thought he was a hawk. He has the coloring of a kestrel. He was sitting by my groiund bird bath. He was obviously injured and couldn't fly very well. My neighbor already tried to chase him down once and failed. Bird didn't care for my neighbor. He has excellent taste in people, I can tell you. I saw him standing under the feeders but not interested in the black oil sunflower seeds scattered around so I went out the bird food store and bought something I knew pigeons liked. When I got home he was still there. I walked over to the feeder and he moved a little way away. Limping badly. I asked him if he would let me help him and I dumped out a big pile of food while he watched me. He was so hungry he ate and ate even while my mower guy mowed right past him. Later in the day, I went out to see if he was still around and didn't see him under the feeder. I turned around and there he stood in a pool of blood behind me. I talked to him and told him I would help if he let me. I slowly went over to him and scooped him up. We went to the vet shortly thereafter and I figured he got clocked by a car. Turns out he had something wrapped so tight around his foot that it was cutting into the toe. Vet removed the string and he moved into a safe cage in my sunny room with 3 cats. This should be interesting. I have noticed that pigeons hold their own with cats. Not sure I trust that thought. He growls at me but he will eat out of my hand now and we are working on it. He is dusty red/white/green and purple speckled feathers on his neck. Very pretty bird. Life isn't about where we end up but who we bring along for the ride.
Very interesting. I have an imposed pigeon that I think is a male. A friend of mine found this big potato of about 7 to 10 days old in the middle of a boulevard. Yellow duvet, still having the point on it's beak and both corner of his mouth yellow. So of course knowing that I knew how to take care small hookbeak birds, she gave it to me. I thought that once able to be on his own I would release it outside. I just could not. It has been 18 months and what a bird. Named Elvis, I call him my pingouin. Exactly as you say he follows me everywhere. I mean everywhere. But ... I have six small birds, from parotlet to cockatiel (who is 24 yrs old) and they are scared sh*t of him. He runs after my 6lbs dog and pinches her tail, throws everything from tables or counters on the floor, throwing more of his food on the floor instead of eating it. I could go on and on. But somehow I just luv this huge grey flying thing. I did not know of pigeon as pets before he came into my life. Quiet, non destructive compared to a parrot. Thank you so much for your videos. They are really helpful. Specially this one. I'll stay with one.
I have a feral pigeon called Steve (I'm fairly sure he is male). Anyway he was injured by a predator (probably a cat) and his right eye was so badly damaged he cannot see out of it. Six months later he is fully healed although blind in the right eye. He loves being on his own and tells me off if I stroke him to much. I cannot let him go as he will almost certainly fall prey to another animal but he seems really happy living with me where he is fed and looked after. He hardly ever comes out of the bathroom and doesn't follow me around so I guess I have a pet pigeon for life without being followed lol.
I have a pigeon and a dove, both rescued when they were babies. They are my children, and I love them very much, and yes, they do require a LOT of attention from me.

Hey, Mark! Thank you so much for watching my video... ah, you are so sweet! I didn't know someone was wondering, why I didn't post video for so long. Your comment made me smile! ... and yeah, unfortunately, it takes a while for me since I work full time... making videos about my birds is just a hobby.... Your comment definitely made me more motivated to do my best at scheduling LOL
P.S. Thank you so much! Those drawings took a while actually (even though it doesn't look that way XD)... i'm very bad at cartoony stuff :D, but your feedback boosted my confidence! SO thank you for being so nice!
I have one too and I love him dearly. ❤
wow the quality of the video is insane...You should have more subscribers, incredibly amazing story telling abilities.
I loved the illustrations in this video
It's good that you are bringing up this topic. I have dozens of rescued pigeons at home and have observed that they form pairs with those they find sympathetic. You can't just take any two pigeons, put them together, and think it will be fine. I offer people the chance to temporarily take their pigeon, and with a bit of luck, it will pair up here. Then I return two pigeons to them. I wish every pigeon owner had such an opportunity. When they are in a true pair, it's a beautiful sight.
Just found your channel and I love everything you do! Not just pet pigeon content which is sacre but also your editing and scripting! Also you, as a personality and your humor (might be because I'm slavic tho). Subscribed and I will binge watch all your content soon ❤ because this is only the second video I saw
Hope you guys are well
Toby and Bonnie are both gorgeous!
Hey @LisaKini ! Thank you very much for stopping by, watching my video and leaving your sweet comment!
I hope you are well too! :)
very cool. I just subscribed to you yesterday, because I became interested in pigeons because of watching video about comparing speed of pigeon mail and internet network.
Nicola Tesla had a pet pigeon.
You and your pigeons are very cute together. Your videos are a gem.
Thank you so very much for watching my videos! I'm very happy you found it worth subscribing! It means a lot for me! I really appreciate your comment and such a positive feedback! It definitely puts a smile on my face when someone finds my pigeons cute and my videos about them a gem! :D
WOW! a speed of the internet vs pigeon mail?! interesting... I didn't even know there was a video about that.. I gotta look that up :D Sounds interesting :D....Oh I heard that too, that Nicola Tesla had a white female pigeon and really loved his bird like no one else!.. I don't know if it's true or not.. but if it is, it's a very beautiful fact! :D
This was such a good presentation!! 🕊️
I could not handle my birds following me everywhere, I would cook and eat them I'd get so annoyed! 😂 But that's why having a mated pair is perfect for me. They're in their own little world, just like me.
Except when its peanuts time. Then they are AAAALL about me lol
this video deserves more views!! Was so funny, I'm more excited than ever to get my first pigeons!
This was so helpful, I currently have one pigeon that’s bonded to me and thought about getting another one to keep her company while im gone/working/etc, but think I’ll just stick to my one. She’s already jealous when I have people over so I can’t imagine how she would be with another bird 😂
Yeah, sticking with one could be a good idea. I am in your situation, thought my pigeon was lonely as my new job requires more hours. Now... my Sesame is trying to kill the new pigeon, I need to separate them all the time.
Добрый день! Хорошая птича! Интересно и не обычно показано! Удачи Вам и вашим питомцам!!!
First of all, if you are experienced at this, the pigeon you adopt is very lucky to have you. Secondly, they're very easy to train, entertain, and are very loving. Thirdly, they are smart.
i took your advice and gave my pigeon a company. now he runs the whole city and is a corrupt CEO with friends in high places :(
This video is so informative, thank you!
Beautiful pigeon 💓
I just watched all your videos. Your editing and humour is so wonderful! The mix of informative and entertaining is perfect! I'm hoping to welcome my first pigeon friend into my home this year and after watching your videos I'm even more excited! Thanks for making these wonderful videos!! :)
So true .. I hand-feed pigeons on my top floor balcony here in Montréal, Canada, and they re sooooo jealous of each other and stake out their turfs!!! They are really adorable. And listen to me. They don’t mind when I pet or tease them since they eat on my hand, on me, etc.but not too long. Lollll. If I only had one perhaps but they make each other edgy since they’re wild city birds and there’s at least 15 different who come visit me. They all have their own personality I’ll tell you. I even feed two very young ones with still a little squeaky cooing yet. I feed them peanuts!!! They adore peanuts and rice. I’m trying safflower seeds tomorrow. I have to use it all up..
definitely appreciate how informative, these little big complications and decisions, consequences, mechanics.
that are so real, and not how you/i thought, but we got to deal with it now the situation turned the way it did.
the comments are also useful with their different experiences.
a key word/mechanic i just got from another video is to be careful with imprinting.
you're first only i guess of course, it imprinted as you're mate and then the competitive unclear relationship with another burb. one "should"have let the birds pair up and relate like that to the owner,
But i love the video (s openness/honesty/good faith/whatever, perfect or whatever) the situation is something and we'll figure it out. .. with lots of experience and love (and pain)
'And God looked at his creation and saw that it was good'
Beautiful colors . I had birds for so many years. Ended up having over 100 birds. And they are awesome pets. Mine were outside. In a pigeon loft. Eventually I had to part with them. For medical reasons. But hopefully down the road I will get back into it. Love pigeons.
omg you’re bird being obsessed with you is so adorable 😩❤️
You have to let them fly outside and they will always return to you but you have to train them. I had 30 pigeons when i was younger they always flow outside and come home in the evening. So my tips for you to let them enjoy flying outside. Good luck 🙂
what a fantastic and adorable video! the part where you described your extremely busy social life made me chuckle. also i love your chill editing style :)
Thank you so very much, Thewurstcase261, for watching my video and leaving your comment! I really appreciate the feedback! You mentioning that one part of the video made you smile - totally made my day!.. so THANK YOU! :)
Thank you, There is so little about keeping pigeons. I had a Goffin's Cockatoo for years and she was a rescue. And also a handful. Saturday I will be picking up my first rescue Pigeon.
I rescued a pigeon. Still had its yellow feathers and had to be hand fed. I’ve had it for 7 months now. His or her name is Omelet. Daughter named him or her. I released it one day thinking it would not come back. It left so quickly. I was sad. Many hours later I find it on the lip of my garage. He or she lets me pick her up only when she wants to be picked up. 😆 Would hang out on my shoulder when I’m working on something outside. Now it’s become a normal routine. I force her to explore the outside world by releasing her around 6a and when I open my garage around 10a she flies right in to drink her water and eat her seeds.
Started coming to this channel to do some research while I attempt to rescue an abandoned pigeon in my back yard. I've tried everything but he's too smart and healthy to fall for any of it. Called NPA and he's abandoned (black band, no numbers). I have his home all set up in my room and everything but I just can't get him somewhere safe. If this doesn't work out I think I will end up adopting but it breaks my heart to think of losing this guy.
I really enjoyed this video, thank you.😊
I think this applies to other bird species too. My cockatiel has had two cage-mates. The first one lived with her for four years and died the day before I brought her home. She did not care at all. I bought her another companion bird years later, thinking she was lonely while I was in school. The bird also died in front of her. Again, she did not care. She's a human-loving bird lol.
Какие же они прелестные
Argh… didn’t know you updated with this video. If only I’ve watched this, wouldn’t have gotten a second one. My sesame is trying to kill hazelnut. I need to separate them.
Your Feathered Babies are Beautiful i love Pigeons and Doves 🕊️🕊️
Thanks a lot for such a great video 😀 I live with two wondetful pigeons as well. But my story is a bit different: they're a couple and both of them stay with me sine the beginning. But twice I brought to my appartment two others, a girl and a boy, both have got a neurological disease. While each of them were recovering, when I knew it was safe for all of them, I let them spend a little time together. And yes, I agree with your observations and opinion: pigeons are veeery social creatures, incredibly and deeply "in" relationship with their mates (pigeons or human being, or both 😃), but they're territorial and jelous as well. Exactly as you told and desribes 🙂 Greetings from Poland!
I love your pigeon human bond, Tobie is a race bird and Bonnie a owl pigeon.
I rescued a homing pigeon 4 years ago , I had a 10 year old cat that got along with any animals but cats , luckily they got along but both never got more than a couple of inches to each other , cat in my lap pigeon on my shoulder, unfortunately my 15 year old cat passed away a month ago and she would look for him , they kept each other company when I had to go to work ! She seems ok now
I ABSOLUTELY love your videos, I just discovered your channel. I have one bird already, a green-cheek conure named Piggie, And, two guinea pigs named Tiramisu and Cappucino! Anyway, I have thought for so long to get a pigeon and your videos are so cute and entertaining (dont forget informational) but thank you for your content
Awhh They must love u!
Pigeons are smart one of mine could open the seed drum lid and jump inside to Eat - Recognised faces every letter of the alphabet - they have probably read all your books while you are away
Pigeons are loyal like parrots ❤❤❤
I love birds :)
ive wanted a pigeon for an incredibly long time, and recently thats just increased by the TON because i got to pet one in person (a friend of mine owns two!), now, i usually stay cooped up at home all the time, but i have school, which is several grueling hours being bored for both me AND the potential pigeon. id be fine with getting two so they dont get sickly depressed, but im also nervous about them potentially being TOO focused on EACHOTHER, or.. simply hating eachother and then i have double the poop cleanup to take care of. i know the easy solution is just,, "dont get a pigeon then!" but they really do seem like a perfect match for me, and the first option if i ever was allowed to get a small winged animal.
I’ve started feeding pigeons from my flat balcony. They wait for me when I get in from work and now there’s loads of them
I rescued a baby pigeon yesterday! It barely has its underwing feathers! I named her anchovy, (found out it was female) and she loves us
beautiful pigeons! what you can do, if you have one pigeon and thinking of getting her someone to mate with, is rescue street pigeons.. maybe one time there will be one your pigeon will fall in love ..
I work in pigeon rescue and that always happened after some time..
Now I have learn more about my wife
i love pigeons :)
You made me feel in love with pigeon by me watching your video ❤😊
I just found a pigeon that was flopping on the floor like a fish so I took it home and I’m making him better his foot is no good but I’m gonna keep trying 🥰 I’m glad I came across your video ❤️
Its not fine get more to have a boost of cuteness!
There is a problem with keeping birds indoors. They become adapted to the heat. And if anything happens to you, or you part with them, other owners put them outdoors and they freeze which is a very painful death. I've even seen this happen to a barn owl that was confenscated from it's owner because they kept it indoors. I tried to tell the falconry owner it had been placed with by the authorities why it was shivering, but they would not listen, and a couple of weeks later after sleeping outside in winter the bird was dead. And what a very slow and painful way to dye.
Got one male pigeon I spend most of the day with, but as my days get busier, I'm thinking of giving him a partner. Even now it is still a blessing to have just one, but I will keep my options open.
Glad to see you back! I love your videos❤
Thank you so much, EyGTFOhere, for watching my videos and your very positive comment!.. no, it's I'M GLAD, that you find it worth coming back and watch new stuff that I poste! :) It inspires me knowing that you like my videos! SO thank you!
I'm back yes... I mean... I technically never left... :D .. It's just hard to find time to make videos between work, that's why the break in between my posts is soo long :(... but there is still quite a bit I want to share :D
I I love pigeons they are my favourite bird awesome video ❤
Я,во́схищен,вами,Я.голубевод.держу.много.вам.респект

Wow nice pigeon
Wow, pictures are such a beautiful bird
Ты мега молодец) у меня тоже сейчас живёт сизарь, подобрал под дождём молодого не полётного, уже 2 раза вылечил от вертячки, сейчас здоров как бык) но живёт так же дома на кухне, может подберу ещё этим летом больного и будет ему друг)
Long Story 5:30 THIS is what happened when I gave my male Betta fish, Matsuda, a girl Betta, he would be aggressive with other fish because his race was trained for hundreds of years to fight against other fish, and surprisingly, this happened with a fish of his same kind, she got kind of injured even tho she didn't do anything to him or wanted to start a fight, it was on Matsuda's instincts, but the good part is that we had another aquarium where we had many fish of different species that all were friends each other, so I introduced her into that aquarium, and she was never so happy!!! She would follow other fish anywhere and eat all the food I gave her!
😢Sadly, months later she died bc of her previous injures😢😢
Красивая голубка !!!
I love pigeons ❤
My rescue pigeon goes through spells of wanting to pack his bags and leave. He is a homer. He wants to fly home and he will get over that in a month or two. I have been down the road of thinking another cat will be swell. It never works out like you think.
Hey, Chris5942 ! Thank you for watching my video and sharing a little bit about what you are dealing with. You have a big heart that you rescued a pigeon! It warms my heart knowing that there are still kind people like you out there! The description, that your pet pigeon wants to pack his bags and leave made me laugh (not the fact of it , but the phrasing). And yes, It'll take time for him to get used to the new place... you know that already :) And totally agree with you: it almost never works out as you think! :D
@@mylittlepigeon278 People think I am nuts when I tell them his story. I assume it is a he until an egg appears. When I first saw him, I thought he was a hawk. He has the coloring of a kestrel. He was sitting by my groiund bird bath. He was obviously injured and couldn't fly very well. My neighbor already tried to chase him down once and failed. Bird didn't care for my neighbor. He has excellent taste in people, I can tell you. I saw him standing under the feeders but not interested in the black oil sunflower seeds scattered around so I went out the bird food store and bought something I knew pigeons liked. When I got home he was still there. I walked over to the feeder and he moved a little way away. Limping badly. I asked him if he would let me help him and I dumped out a big pile of food while he watched me. He was so hungry he ate and ate even while my mower guy mowed right past him. Later in the day, I went out to see if he was still around and didn't see him under the feeder. I turned around and there he stood in a pool of blood behind me. I talked to him and told him I would help if he let me. I slowly went over to him and scooped him up. We went to the vet shortly thereafter and I figured he got clocked by a car. Turns out he had something wrapped so tight around his foot that it was cutting into the toe. Vet removed the string and he moved into a safe cage in my sunny room with 3 cats. This should be interesting. I have noticed that pigeons hold their own with cats. Not sure I trust that thought. He growls at me but he will eat out of my hand now and we are working on it. He is dusty red/white/green and purple speckled feathers on his neck. Very pretty bird. Life isn't about where we end up but who we bring along for the ride.
That was an awesome video and your birds are so adorable!
Very interesting. I have an imposed pigeon that I think is a male.
A friend of mine found this big potato of about 7 to 10 days old in the middle of a boulevard. Yellow duvet, still having the point on it's beak and both corner of his mouth yellow. So of course knowing that I knew how to take care small hookbeak birds, she gave it to me.
I thought that once able to be on his own I would release it outside. I just could not. It has been 18 months and what a bird. Named Elvis, I call him my pingouin. Exactly as you say he follows me everywhere. I mean everywhere.
But ... I have six small birds, from parotlet to cockatiel (who is 24 yrs old) and they are scared sh*t of him. He runs after my 6lbs dog and pinches her tail, throws everything from tables or counters on the floor, throwing more of his food on the floor instead of eating it. I could go on and on. But somehow I just luv this huge grey flying thing. I did not know of pigeon as pets before he came into my life. Quiet, non destructive compared to a parrot.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are really helpful. Specially this one. I'll stay with one.
❤
❤❤beautiful knowledge ❤❤
This is very beautiful :)-
Wonderful ! Thank you.
I have a feral pigeon called Steve (I'm fairly sure he is male). Anyway he was injured by a predator (probably a cat) and his right eye was so badly damaged he cannot see out of it. Six months later he is fully healed although blind in the right eye. He loves being on his own and tells me off if I stroke him to much. I cannot let him go as he will almost certainly fall prey to another animal but he seems really happy living with me where he is fed and looked after. He hardly ever comes out of the bathroom and doesn't follow me around so I guess I have a pet pigeon for life without being followed lol.
Your art is so cute!
You are such a sweet heart!
