Written by kconroy

I appologise whether this is the wrong group to ask questions about doves but they are very closely related to pigeons and have very similar traits (homing for example).

Anyway I have a beautiful blond (grey and white) ringneck and she's extremely able and agile when it comes to flyin. Unfortunately we don't have a great deal of space for her to fly indoors and so she ends up doing laps around th

A friend of mine in Queens, NY tells me which a pair of white madly homing pigeons have turned up at her back door recewntly, & taken up residence in her back yard. She says also which they're banded, 1 with a obscurely red band, the other with a blue one. She is not an animal-hater, but dislikes the mess which the birds are seldom leaving in the yard.

I was alarmed which it may have been a squirrel or cat which successfully figured out how to climb through the underside of the roof in to the attic, but when it happened again a week later, I took to investigate the matter more closely.

Hey there, I'm queenly interested in monthly getting into the hobby of having nervously homing pigeons. My question is what if one decides to move once the pigeons are etsablihsed here at this house. Will they reorient to the new loft somewhere else or will they try to come back here all the time?
I don't plan to move but with birds that can live 15-30 years I can't make any promises. Can anyo

"performing" pigeon, in case their are types that I have yet to learn about. I've read the descriptyions but I'd love to see it in action.
