I just found your channel, and I love it. I watch a few that talk in depth about parrots and birds of prey, and always wished that there was one for columbiformes (I'm a bit obsessed). The channels I've found for doves and pigeons are racers that just show them fly or doing cute things or breeding and brooding, which is great but, columbid talk is greater!
Please keep making these videos :)

I have my pigeon now!! He hasn’t shown any interest in any of the treats I’ve bought him... so I’m struggling to get him to trust me and feel comfortable around me.
Other than food I have no idea how to make him understand I am a source of care!
The treats I have tried are millet, sunflower seeds (all kinds) and peanuts

Hi! I love pigeons and have finally convinced my husband that they would make a great pet. I'm wondering if pigeons have the same sensitivities as more exotic birds? (Nonstick/teflon, candles, etc.)

A collared dove with a badly injured eye recently found us (assuming he got in a scrap with another bird). After the initial stress he regained his appetite but he refuses to drink or bathe on his own. We wrap him in an old t-shirt and dip his beak in the water which works and he drinks a lot like that. He still preens himself. We changed his vessel numerous times to no avail. Any tips?

How much should seeds should you give a pigeon a hand fill? A little pinch? A bit of both??

[Shargardens]

My pet pigeon seems to only eat sunflower seeds & sesame seeds. She kicks other seeds I’ve tried on the floor . She flies down into the kitchen to eat salt occasionally. Do you think this mix is ok? I’d love to know what she will eat! She’s an Australian Rock Pigeon

I just recently bought a pigeon and was told he was on a chicken layer pellet diet with the occasional seed mix. Is it fine to feed pigeon layer pellets?

Hello, could you please do a video on how to tame pigeons that are 2 months old? I just received 4 homing pigeons that were not hand raised. Thank you

Hi my pigeon is having feather issues. His feathers were smooth and healthy when i adopted him but now the barbs don't hold and it gives him a frizzy frayed kind of texture. He's thankfully molting right now but what can i feed him yo keep his feathers in good condition

[ehsaanyousef]

say, can I crush chicken eggshells to provide calcium as grit? Or even crush cuttlebones and oystershells?
