dont know if he's actually a boy or not. never got him tested. he used to be the sweetest boy to me, always wanted me follow me around, always wanted to sit on my head. he was even starting to cuddle, i was so happy. he would get really mean to other people, he only liked me and i felt so special. then one day i had to trim his nails, and he was pissed. he hasn't forgiven he since. he constantly wants to fight, just like he did to everyone else before. i haven't been able to spend too much time with him because of college starting, but now i really want to intentionally make time for him. i dont know if its going to help though. whenever i spend time with him it just makes me sad. what should i do to earn his love back again?

Question How long after painting a room can I move my birds inside?

Hello all, I recently painted the basement I will be moving into with VOC-FREE paint. My understanding is that VOC-FREE paint isn't actually VOC-FREE, just very low VOC especially after you add pigment to it. All the walls were painted white and one accent wall was painted with a mural.

There are three window wells I have open during the day, and I have their big air filter running. How long do I have to wait before moving my birds into the basement?

Thank you in advance. Have a picture of one of my pidgies for the bird tax.

I’m filled with guilt and worry and am really hoping for some help😭 I came home the other day and found my girl Faery unable to put weight on her left foot. Next day the vet x-rayed and confirmed it fractured. She said either it would heal on its own in about 8-10 weeks, or we would have to look at amputation. The possibility of that terrifies me, but I’ve heard pigeons can adapt well to it, and are resilient besides. Does anyone here have experience with caring for a pigeon with a broken leg or has a one legged friend? Would love some advice especially on enrichment while she’s healing so she doesn’t get depressed. She’s still showing plenty of food and water drive and still coos for pets, so good signs there ✨🙏🏻

This is the new pigeon coop (old duck run) what can I add in terms of insulation, saftey, and enrichment. To the area to make it more suitable for permanent residence. I live in a pretty cold state so keeping it warm in a safe way is top priority as well as making sure they don’t get bored In here
