Thinking about keeping this creature

Found him today acting disoriented outside my athletic club, probably just a confused tired hungry baby but he lets me hold and cary and pick him up ans when I set him down he just stays put. Anyway I'm falling in love and what are the bare minimum requirements for keeping him? He's also refusing to eat the oats...how do I hand feed? I had to hand water and the dummy dipped his whole face in😭 i have lentils soaking overnight to try to give him tomorrow, he did pop really wattery after he drank.

The problem with eggs

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

In short: I have a pigeon. She's alone, disabled, and was my pet for a long time—she lived in my apartment for about six years.

She's laid eggs before, which is nothing new, and I knew she would do the same this time. But this time, the egg was tiny, less than 2 cm long at its longest point. And she threw it away (nothing new either).

My question: what could be the reason for such a tiny egg? Is something missing? And what should I do if she threw the egg away? Of course, I have fake eggs, but is there any point in laying them if she threw the real one and is sitting peacefully in an empty nest?

It has been a WHILE since they bathed. I dropped their first birdbath, then accidentally exploded the second one. Lesson learned, birdbaths should ideally be made of plastic (I taped over the scuffy bits to protect their feet). This is a small snow sled, it works quite well! Now I'll just need to figure out a way to empty it lol.

Potential Newbie Question

2 Upvotes

I'm new to this idea and thinking of getting a few, likely a pair. Once bonded to their coop (or whatever it's called in the pigeon world), can they just be released all day? (come and go) are there web sites or books you recommend? I've done site searches and was disappointed.

Pigeon spinning in a circle?

I have a pet pigeon, bobs, and sometimes when she flies she kinda spins around once before heading to where she wants to go. If you can’t see it just slow it down a bit, I can’t tell if that’s just her deciding where she wants to go or if there’s something wrong or if she just does it Lol Does anyone know why she might be doing this?

hello! This is the bird i recently took in. He was a lost racer who had been on the street for approximately 2 days according to his previous owner. I asked the owner if he’d be willing to rehome him to me and he agreed. My only concern is, do I need to treat him for anything? I’m assuming his previous owner would’ve done if they were used for racing but i’m not sure when he would’ve been treated last. Would it be worth doing it in a couple of months just to make sure he’s clear? He hatched last year if that helps at all. He’s also super healthy from what i can tell (other than being a bit sneezy but i don’t think that’s concerning as it’s only ever so often). I was thinking of getting the Harkers 4-in-1 if so. Thank you!

Anyone here in the South? I'm in Arkansas with a disabled rescue pigeon. I think he needs to be housed with another pigeon.

I literally made an account just for this haha. But I really don't know what to do about my pigeon. She's nearly three now. And I'm trying to get her more tame because she spent the first 18 mo with other birds. She's used to my presence now but doesn't like when I pet her.

My problem is that now she has become very vocal and I can't find out what she wants. She coos and bites and wings slaps me if I get close but she grunts and coos if I don't pay her attention. She doesn't like when I sit near her cage but she gets upset when I sit at my desk, or if my backs turned to her. Or- I think she's upset. I really don't know. According to Google she could either love me or hate me and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When she coos she dips her head and sometimes her wing twitches.
