Homing Pigeons - Must Have Items When Getting Started

Welcome to my channel!

Here I cover everything I use on the regular or have on hand just in case for my pigeons. It is important to have a few things to keep pigeons healthy and medicate them if they get sick. I take a natural approach to keeping them healthy unless something serious pops up. Then using the right pigeon medication for the birds is important! I hope you enjoy leave a comment if you have questions about homing pigeons!

I have about 30 pigeons and have lost a few one having the head tilt and flying into walls. Mostly all my babies have been dying. Where do you purchase the vaccine that u use? I want to start vaccinating asap. And how much and how often do you add the apple cider vinegar in there water?

Years ago an all white, banded pigeon flew into a window of the house, broke the window & its wing. It almost looked like it had fleas in its feathers too. I nursed it back to health for almost two months. When I released her, she flew off onto the garage roof for while & then into the evening sky. Never saw her again but the owner must have been surprised seeing his pigeon back months later or maybe thats normal. Neat hobby I could see getting into one day. Great vid, thanks for putting out.

Regardless of your level of expertise in pigeons, it opens the door for discussion. I learn just as much from the comments.

Knowledge is power, thank you for sharing your knowledge. My birds kick the nest bowls out as well. I take a drywall screw and I put a screw in the wood in front of the nest bowl to hold the bowl in place.

As long as you keep your loft clean and give your birds apple cider vinegar, grit, vitamins and exercise and sun you won't need vaccines

What prevent them from getting that sickness? Where they neck bent back? And they cant stand up? I hate see them sick like that.. sometime they recover from it

[Regal.pup.]

Lovely! I have chickens, but am very interested in expanding my bird variety.

Where could I get cages like the white and green ones in the beginning of the video

[TheseInspire]

I appreciate the videos, but would add that emphasizing the absolute need for grit be noted, as well as a 2-inch front for the nests to prevent babies from being pushed out, or inadvertently crawling out and falling to the floor.

Adding a landing board in front also would be beneficial.

Again, though, your discussion of the medicines is helpful.

how did you do in the peach classic and the southern belle, they both had huge losses?

[pigeonsilsx]

hello i have a pet pigeon i developed a bad cough from as indoor pet. i built a cage by my window and lookig to get her a friend. with her being alone or with one other bird should i worry about her catching diseases or is it when you have a loft with many birds who fly free? shes a pet who doesnt fly.

2 blue cks bread black or velvet s nice looking did you y good with Tham

[steelyerface]

have you had any loft outbreaks of pmv etc where you had casualties?

[jesjenvasquez]

I would recommend lining the bottom of the cages with something like wood or maybe newspapers since those types of cage floors are bad for the pigeons feet. Otherwise interesting video :)

I think my pigeon has conjunctivitis, swollen pink membrane under its eye. Any recommendations?

[steelyerface]

if you do suspect pmv or salmonella where the bird is very neurologically ill / flopping around head tilt etc do you recommend culling the birds out and disposing of them or what are your thoughts Guy With The Pink Gun

[elizabethmatl]

I have 4 in a large cage. They keep breaking the eggs and every nest I make they push the egg out and remove the hay. Any suggestions?

[kixlm]

With oregano oil, how do you use that? I think my bird had conjunctivitis and that would probably help. Should I dilute it and put it in the eye?

[mickaylamurphy]

I'm wanting to get a pair of homing pigeons, will they stay just being two or will I need alot more for them to stay?

[nuwansanjayawarnakulasuriy]

Do you have some vitamin pigeon fly more time
