I met a wonderful person in northern Mn that wishes to have Pigeons on there farm.
Carrie and her husband rescue Horses and Dogs.
They recently built a very large loft and were looking for Pigeons.
Well they adopted all my birds.
I am keeping Miras Mother and her Mate.
The Dunn is sitting on a new Baby, I was watching the second egg hatch yesturday, New life was coming into the world, but sadly when I checked today the little one didn't make it, A reminder how precious life is.
I am assuming the Hand feeding in 2 weeks to tame this new little one, I will start taking pictures.
Maybe there is someone out there that would like to stand up for this little one and adopt.
So Far I can see the bird will be mainly white with a hint of Brown.
Camille, If you stop in this thread, the Box arrived yesturday.
Just a reminder folks, I cover all costs to ship my babies to the adoptor, All that is required is the cost of returning the Shipping box.
(no disrespect) but the adoptor must be a ACTIVE ParrotChatter member.
The Pigeon is a very wonderful little bird, they just can't talk, but they can love you...(FOREVER).

Arty, I have a few questions. I have never owner a Pigeon or Dove. Can they be kept inside like my parrots? How much cage do they require? Can the be kept in a room with parrots (in its own cage of course)?

Arty; I just tried to send you a pm and I don't think it went through.
This was a real coincident that you should post this thread.

I sit for hours in my bird garden watching my wild fids.
The family of cardinals...the baby is weaned now and often comes alone.
The one legged blackbird is getting along just great.
My baby blackbird should be fully weaned but just does'nt want to be.
The loner...Mr. Jay, shares well with all.
Even the two woodpeckers are conciderate and don't chase anybirdie away.
The wrens come in droves and bicker with eachother but are not scared off by my presence.
The gulls will eat right out of my hand.
I just can't seem to forget about your rescues when my dove and pigeons come to see me. They will come right up to me but will not eat from my hand.

Anyway...to get to the point...I would love to adopt if you will allow me.
I promise to offer a loving home to a baby.

This is BOB, Miras brother, He is kept inside just as a Parrot is, His cage is the size of a large Parrot, fact is Bob was adopted by a good friend of mine named Kate from the Bird Brains forum, Kate has adopted many birds from me in the past, Doves, Pigeons, Love Birds, Keets.
I also gave her Bob's Cage, I think I have a picture of Bob's cage somewhere.
Pigeons can be kept just as a Parrot is and in the same room, the only difference is "they can't talk".
They need out of cage time to stretch there wings, and if trained properly they can be free flown outside, they will never leave you, Just ask Camille..LOL
I will see if I can find Bob's cage pictures and post them.
Sooooo, Here's Bob, not the best pictures but one can see, the Pigeon can be kept indoors just like a Parrot.

good that you found a nice place for your pigeons

Yes Grandma, I would concider it an Honor to re-home one of my birds with you.
You are a Valued (active) ParrotChatter Member, I have followed your threads and responces.
Please stop in the Pigeons & Doves forum and follow along as I post pictures of this little one, I pray all goes well out in the loft for the next 2 weeks, then I will take over to assure this little one is Tame.
I know you followed the thread where Camille stood up for one of my Babies, so you know all goes well with the adoption, we will have to keep an eye on the weather also, I won't ship if the heat reaches 85.
Thank you for opening you heart to the Pigeon, This means so very much to me...but most important....it means the world to them.
Sooooooooo, lets keep our fingers crossed that all goes well.
The Dunn and her mate will lay again real soon, so if anyone else would like one of there little ones (Hand Tamed), Please keep your eye on the Dove-Pigeon forum here on ParrotChatter.
This is an exclussive folks, I maybe a member of other bird forums but I will only offer my birds here on ParrotChatter.
As you all can see my birds are very healthy and BEAUTIFUL.

What mixed feelings you must have about your babies going away to their wonderful new home; it is so hard to let our fids go. I do hope the folks that are taking your pigeons know how very lucky they are! Thanks again for all you do.

wow, bob's gorgeous......

Grandma beat me to the punch! I hope it works out well! Ill consider a future baby!!

How wonderful that you've found such great homes for your pigeons!

I'm glad you got the box!!

Congrats Susan!!! Pigeons are wonderful creatures. You are going to fall head over heels for your little one!

We expect updates on all of this!
