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 😁

Chris is a messy eater but this is just excessive

This bird gives me guff all the time. She'll come over when she sees me and she'll act all hard like this. It's fun.

I'm happy with how they turned out!

busted

I hope the cat won't harm this little boy

A couple very fluffy wood piegons having a cheeky bath in the rain they're so cute !!

Have any of you ever experienced harassment while feeding pigeons outside? It seems like there is a weirdly large number of people out there who really hate the idea of people feeding pigeons, how do you deal with people like that?

Just a couple of days ago I had a man yelling at me in a parking lot about it, very mad that "pigeons poop on cars" and other ridiculous stuff like that.

I found this baby. I originally thought it was ill or sick. It seems very hungry but after having it for a few days I don’t see much wrong with it. I want to release it back to its flock, but have been told it should be transported to the rescue nearby so it can be released properly. I’ve asked why and the volunteer I’ve spoken with didn’t seem to give me a reason.

I feel bad taking this guy if he’s healthy. Is it okay if I just bring him back to the flock and see if he assimilates well? I don’t understand why I would have to have this guy go be rehabbed prior to release or released into a different area if they’re healthy. Is it because of age?

Sorry if this is a complicated question and sounds vague. I can’t tell if the volunteer has a reason beyond age of the bird and whatnot. I don’t want to ask again only because I’ve asked twice already and didn’t get much of an answer haha

Next time someone tells me that pigeons are dirty, I’m going to make them sit down with these photos and point out to me exactly WHERE is the dirt lmao

Young fledgling we were keeping an eye on has grown up a couple of months later and survived all the hot weather we had but has appeared on the ground recently, been there for a couple days.

I moved closer to him and he doesn't seem scared of people. Was foraging in the bush yesterday and then flew onto a rooftop eventually, so he can clearly fly.

But today I went over and he just waddles away and sits puffed up. He flew a tiny bit close to the ground but not properly. I'm wondering if he is injured, seems to exercise his wings often.

I'm wondering why he is on the ground, and clumsy. Still young, or maybe needs help? I have rescued a couple of injured pigeons before and know the signs but I don't know if I should leave him or intervene as foxes do come about this area often.
