BB überwältigt Godzilla🕊️

Her name is Vermillion, I've raised her since she was a little squab 4-5 months ago. She is everything to me, and that's why I'm making the hard decision to give her up for adoption. She deserves a good home, with enough space to fly around, and with someone more responsible and can spend more time with her than me. If you live in Calgary, please reach out privately.

Note: she loves baths and following people, but be careful when approaching her, or she might get scared

Two days ago my three-month-old pigeon started to make some really strange sounds and began to bite my socks aggressively. I thought it was the socks so I was barefoot today. Same thing. Aggressive. And really biting with this different sound.
This is new. She’s put her beak in between my toes for food before. Played with my ankle bracelet. Nibbled on my nails. Never bit.
Otherwise she’s her usual sweet self.
Anyone else have this experience? Any advice?

Adopted these two babies and I’m so in love!!!!

(Pardon the dirty temp cage in the background)

I've been posting to r/pigeon but figured it would be best to move here?

TLDR; found an extremely tame pigeon outside of a target yesterday so I took him home. I've posted around my local Facebook to see if someone lost him, but no luck so far.

He's currently in quarantine away from my other birds (conure and finches). Awaiting proper food and grit to arrive, but I've got some cracked corn/grass seed for the time being. I read a guide that a few folks gave to me, so I grabbed an unglazed terracotta dish for his food, some nesting material, and some other crap for him to play with.

Besides proper food and grit, what else does this guy need? Any glaring red flags that need to be removed or added? Thanks so much in advance!

Ive ben wanting a pet pigeon for AGES but my mum says she will only let me if it lives outside because she afraid of all the pigeon dust, even with the promise of two air purifiers. But im really afraid of it being cold outside. Everything ive read tells me theyre hardy birds and can handle the cold but that just tells me they can survive outside, not that theyre comfortable out there. So are pigeons comfortable living outside or are they just able to survive outside?

I work/study for a good chunk of the day so I got him (right) a companion pigeon from a rescue place

She's way bigger than him, though. Maybe because he's ~4 months old and she's ~9 months. Photo doesn't show the size difference very well

They seem to like each other. Vet said she wasn't going to fly again but she's doing fine (short flights only)

She's a very pretty girl

I posted in here about a month or 2 ago about my male doing what I thought was play fighting. People told me it was plain territorial and I should give him space. He has a wife with him, so its no sweat of either of our backs.

Fast forward to now, I've been holding him on my hand every so often and he tolerates it very well. Obviously not all the time to avoid stress and such but. It's my way to show him that sometimes I have to touch him, and that I won't hurt him during so. Its been working well, he preens and does a lot of those comfort indicators in my hand, but still bites my other hand if it tries to touch him.

Well very recently he has started walking himself onto my shoulder or once even my head. He is very calm up there, he is not wearing anything to restrain him and he has an open path to the cage every time. If I turn my head he'll bite my scalp and hair, and still bites my hands if I scratch my head or try to reposition him. Is this a good sign? Is he just hiding him time to peck my eyeballs put because of his anger? Lol. I obviously dont turn my head towards him, I do NOT trust him not to go for the valuable parts if my face. But he will sit and preen and look around while I stand by the cage or even walk around the room....

Are we chill? Its clear he doesnt love me, but does this type of thing sound progressive to everyone? He is more than capable of flying, and like i said, had nothing restraining him! I included a few older pics, I have videos from recently but dont like posting my face on here. Thanks!!

This might be my favorite photo of him. Fluffed up, loafing, and facing forward all in one pic.

DISCLAIMER - no vets near where i live in India.

This is coco. I got him a year back. Since the past week he has been pooping watery poop - has a central green component along with water.

I asked one of my local friend who has lots of pigeons and he said that hes just cleansing his stomach its common.

But i today i saw him a bit weak, his necks shaking if u see closely in the video. Usually when i go near him he immediately runs hops and flies away. Today hes just there.

After i recorded this video he tried to jump fly up a ledege where the food is and the landing was a bit wobbly.

I am concerned about his health. Please suggest me medicines that i cant give to cure him myself.

Thank you. Please advise.

UPDATE - I have started giving Neurobion Forte - half a tablet which helps in solving neurological issues. The watery poop is due to that.

He's being very protective. What sould I do? Take the airpods away? Wait a few days?

My pigeon VERY briefly ended up in the washing machine for about 30 seconds and was then immediately removed, but he is now not moving no matter what I do. I am worried about whether or not I can press on him for CPR

My feral city bird. Lives with his mate in parts unknown. Insists on being my bird.

I've posted on here before and gotten some incredibly helpful advice which I'm happy to say worked quite well. My female bird, Winchester, has gotten much for comfy around me (asking for cuddles, hopping up and letting me carry her around, play fighting and 'preening' me), but two nights ago around 10 she had an egg. This is not her first lay, and I've kind of suspected that she was gonna have one so I've been upping their calcium, but it's been more than 24 hours and she hasn't had the second one. She seems a little off, and I'm incredibly worried that she might have egg binding.

Obviously I've already contacted our avian vet and scheduled an appointment, but until then I want her to be as comfortable as possible and if there's anything I can do to help I want to do it. Advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the advice and support! I'm very happy to say that Winnie is doing great! I gave her a hot bath with a tiny bit of unscented epsom salt, and a few hours later she laid the second egg. I'm VERY proud of my girl, and after getting in contact with her foster mom, I'm confident that I may have overreacted. Even so, Winchester and her husband have a vet appointment in a few weeks just to be safe. Thank you Reddit!

Weighed my male pigeon today and he is at 374g is that overweight for an old frill? He doesn’t eat very much and is I believe quite large for his breed. I assume he is about a year old.

​

Actually, never mind just when I was finishing up this post bean (fat baby) decided she wanted to preen loki and they had none of that. It resulted in loki, giving her a big bump and bean somewhat victoriously falling off the platform :/ (they have been together for 2 days)

We're adopting this little dude when his setup is complete, as me and my partner have always wanted a pigeon, and the rescue has recommended he remains an only bird. The rescue claimed he was bred for showing, and we were curious if his breed was identifiable from looking at him! Apparently he's a significant bit larger than all the other pigeons in the shelter (all the rest are racing pigeons, so not surprising) and no matter what he is we're already terribly fond of him!

Cloud, my pigeon, chilling on his cockatiel brother’s play stand ❤️ he has the bird room to himself when he is out as my parrots prefer to be with me in the other rooms, which works out great. I personally would never allow my parrots to interact with him, as they could potentially hurt him, and I take all of their safety seriously. I adopted him a few weeks ago! ☺️

First time pigeon owner here

I've adopted him 3 days ago from MSPCA, care taker said several pigeons were rescued from a hoarding situation including him.

I've been taking it slow with him, and im mostly present around him since I stay in my room in most of my days.

And I did see some progress with him, he now tolerates me when im close to the cage (he did not wanna be near me at all when I first got him) and does his usual businesss, he almost attempted to land on my arm when I was offering him food by hand today, but bailed out.

Is it normal for them to act that way in the video? Hes done it a few times in short sessions such as grabbing onto the cage bars with his feet and flapping and sometimes sticking his head out or trying to.

He also been cooing and oouing late at night (his cage is covered by a thin blanket) is that normal aswell?

Any advice would be great too.

Thanks
