    I got a pigeon four days ago! I got really lucky with him since he already enjoys being outside with me. He willingly flew to my head in day two and three lmao. He is also comfortable with my hand and fingers! Not 100% sure if he was hand raised ( I think it’s illegal where I live to hand raise a bird if not really needed ). He isn’t a racer pigeon though, I think the previous owner kept pigeons as hobbies and maybe fed them by hand time to time!
    Always do background and history checks on the pigeon you’re getting. ( rescues and racing pigeon adopting is best if you wanna help pigeons! But it might take more time to bond with them imo ).

      Wow, you are lucky with that! I agree with investigating the backgrounds of your birds since it can help to pick out one without any health issues, a good temperament, if they were hand raised, etc. It can be helpful to know how they were raised so that you can be more accommodating when taking care of and working with them. Unfortunately, it might not always be possible to find out this information like with my birds that I got from Stromberg’s Chickens. I can only suspect that they were raised in an aviary/coop and didn’t have much human interaction from their behavior around me.

      @@BubblyPetz1 I really did :)
      I didn’t get much information either 😭 he did give out hints that he sometimes hand fed them and they would hang out on him. But I don’t think they were 100% hand raised 🤷‍♀️. Who knows I didn’t ask because I didn’t want to seem weird but maybe I should’ve.. after all, being safe it’s better than being sorry lol.
      I just know that my pigeon, Solivan wasn’t for racing and that I assume the breeder only keeps pigeons as a hobby somewhere inside a coop!
      But I do hope there will be a chance I can adopt a rescue ☹️. There’s so many pigeons who need help.. though sadly it’s hard in my counties to actually find any rescues since we really can’t just take an animal, like a healthy stray dog or cat off the street unless they’re injured or heavily disabled to the point they cannot survive in the wild. Even if it’s a baby bird that was not wanted by their bird parents and it was being left on the ground to die. We sometimes get the chance to raise them ourselves. But I think you need to have a decent experience, since it will most likely be let out into the wild soon once they’re capable of doing so. Which is understandable for wild animals honestly. But most people here won’t get out of their way to help a wild animal here. And rescues are not anywhere near where I live ☹️.

    Thanks for the informational video! I learned a lot! I recently acquired a racing pigeon that was eating at my bird feeders, couldn't fly (probably exhausted, but can fly now), and the owner didn't register it so I have no way to return him. I've decided to keep him/her. He just recieved a clean bill of health from the vet, and is actually really healthy.
    I can only have him indoors, but I have in a 48x28x31 size cage. Built a perch for him also. I currently have him by a window that if he does not want to look out or needs to get out of the sun, he can do so. My question is, will placing him near the window so he can look out affect how I bond with him?

    Currently my pigeon is in the finger feeding phase, anything more than that he'll walk away. Usually he circles in front of the mirror during feeding time.

      @BubblyPetz1  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks for watching! I didn’t really keep track of how long it took, but I’d say for CloudFeather, it took him a few months to be comfortable around me and almost a year and a half for me to be able to pet him. For InkWing, it’s taken me much longer to earn his trust, since I don’t have much time to work with him on a daily basis. I think it took him almost a year to be okay around me and willingly hang around me, but even then, he still grunts at me and flies off if I approach him most times. Both birds started coming to me and sticking around after I consistently trained them and had treat feeding sessions.

You can start by keeping a bowl of seeds in their cage to encourage them to peck at it. If they are at least 2 weeks old, then you can feed them from the syringe but can also introduce them to seeds. You can soak seeds overnight and use the bottle feeding method to get them to eat. There are videos on TH-cam about this that you can check out to help you!

    Hi @BubblyPetz1, I need advise. Recently I found wild pigeon outside struggling to eat food in the 40 degree Celsius heat. Found a box grabbed her, she didn’t resist much and brought her to the vet. Vet said she has cankers which is common in pigeons and will take time to heal. Due to cankers her lower beak was sideways that’s why she couldn’t grab food. Left in the vet for 12 days, cankers removed but her lower beak still sideways. She is second day with me trying to hand feed her. I need advice. Please if anyone knows how many times a day to give her food and water? That’s a main concern. She is in the box, sometimes trying to fly and once fed she is quite 😂. She is more active compared to when I found her. She doesn’t resist much when I try to pet her but feeding time she is resisting little but then she calms down and hand feed her. Is it ok to keep her in the box or should I get cage? If I release her she won’t survive coz she can’t eat on her own. Sorry for long explanation, any advice helps. Thx. By the way loved your video 😊

My pigeon drinks about 1/4 cup water each day, so I’d probably space that amount out for your bird. Is she really unable to drink water by herself? Have you tried offering a bowl of water and dipping her beak into it? I think she should still be able to drink even if her beak is crooked.

      This is natural behavior in pigeons when they are defending their nest. The biting could be avoided if the pigeon saw you as their mate, but that would usually mean keeping only one bird so that they bond to you and not another pigeon. You could probably use a towel to grab your pigeon off the nest to remove the broken egg if you want to avoid getting bit.

      While that is an ideal setup, you can still provide indoor pigeons with that type of space to fly too. You can take the indoor ones outside for sunlight or open windows to let sunlight in. You can also open windows and use an air purifier for them to have fresh air.
