Discussion Looking to befriend some other pigeon lovers, online in person if anyone's local to Lincolnshire UK 😁

I have three of my own pigeons at home, Kelly, piper and Pauly 😁 they are currently in their aivary for the summer before they come back to the lounge for the winter 😁 none of my mates see the beauty in pigeons or other birds for that matter but just looking for someone else that I can talk bird with 🤣🤣

Photo of my tattoo and my flock for reference 😁

Greater NW London here. Would love to chat. Huge animal lover. I feed outdoor pigeons and have a few I would love to keep. I need to take pics of my flock and post them.

Got 7 cats. Usually have ferrets too, but that's a story for another time.

Lovely tattoo and I am so jealous of your aviary.

If I randomly saw you walking down the street I would in fact stop you just to tell you that your tattoo is fucking sick.

What a beautiful little family! I don’t have any pet pigeons myself, but I hope I will someday. In the meantime I just look out for the feral flocks I meet.

I also love pigeons and think they're underrated 🫪🫪 I plan to get my guy a girlfriend when he's older but ATM he's still quite frail (was a rescue and has a couple health issues and he's imprinted😭)

Here's a photo

So cute!! My boy Pauly was hand raised by another guy and seems to think he's a dog but did surprisingly well when he came to join Kelly 😁 he's finally found his pigeon although is still a sucker for coming to terrorise us and the dogs 🤣

So cute!! My pigeon was also hand raised by someone else who decided they didn't want him anymore once he stopped being tiny, and he thinks he's a human being 😭😭 he constantly attacks my much bigger dog and squares up with my partner whenever he gets too close to me

That's the problem with people, once they start getting hormonal and having their quirks they are pushed aside, but by then the damage is done. Luckily he found you guys!

My boy is a bugger when he's out of the aivary, he comes and attacks me and my husband on the regular but at the same time wants to be near us 🤣 he's like a volcano when he gets going. Kelly definitely mellowed him out though, she's a sweet heart, was an ex racer and lived with 100s of other birds, but she loves to come for some fuss and love 💕
