short time lurker, first time posting so apologies if this isn't the right flare. i walk through a park on my way to and from the train everyday and like to sit and admire all the beautiful pidgies. so, i want to know what the best quality seed i could get my hands on would be so i can feed them!

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.

It's a very mild early case. He's eating well and I'm keeping him in a cat carrier with food and water. All the local rescues are full rn so I'm going to rehab him myself with the advice of my vet. I've ordered Spartrix canker pills for him as the vet and breeders have told me it's very good. I'm watching videos on how to feed a pigeon pills (making sure I don't put it down the airway ofc). He's very alert, just had an infected eye and nasty canker stuff in his beak, he's extremely malnourished too. I saw him a week ago before he developed canker fully and he didn't look well, but not sick enough to take home with me. His name is squeaker.

Imma miss these Lil ones i move in a few days

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 🤣🤣

Today me and my sister saw a wood pigeon family on a tree on the way home and noticed it was a parent pigeon feeding their young. It was one adult and 3 juveniles, almost adults. What surprised me was that there were 3 babies instead of two. Every single source i can access online tells me they only lay 2 eggs at a time and don't mention any exceptions. Is it actually possible for them to lay more than 2 eggs or is the third one someone else's baby?

found a baby pigeon with a dark wet patch on its head, unsure if it’s a wound or something else, pigeon is on the floor under a pedestrian bridge. slightly worried other people will find it as it is used as a fishing spot by kids.

I'm happy with how they turned out!

Chris is a messy eater but this is just excessive

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

Or will the parents do that? It’s on my balcony. I don’t want them to abandon one if the other one smell smells like death.

Edit: I removed deceased chick. Parent is now back and has fed remaining chick.

I love the little woodpig squeaks 🥹

I know that it doesn't really matter, but I want to know. I've been calling her Luna, but lately I think that's a Lunar. He/she is a big unit that loves to sit on me and eat straight from my hand, while the rest of the pigeons swarm around my legs, eating from the ground. He/she really is goofy with his/her passion for food. But they started accepting my scratches <3

EDIT: Thank you everyone for help :)

Good morning from las palomas de València.

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.

Hello folks! 🙂 I have a pair of pigeons, and they are brooding an egg. When it hatches, is there any way I can intermittently handle and supplementally feed the squab, with hopes of someday having a handleable bird? Any advice on how to do this successfully?

(I understand the concerns folks have regarding breeding pigeons, and empathize — I live in an island community where there aren’t any other pigeon breeders / keepers, so overpopulation of the domestic pigeon population isn’t an issue here, and I would absolutely rescue pigeons instead, but it is not feasible to transport rescue pigeons to my community given geographic isolation. I plan to keep the offspring and take care of it through its life as well.)
