Five to seven days is a good window for banding squabs depending on the breed. Anything less than that and the band will fall off. Anything more than that and you risk not being able to band the bird with its proper breed sized band. I appreciated that you showed the various sized feet and leg proportions depending upon age. Very useful information for beginners.

oh my god the momma pigeon looks so adorable, and shiny neck and like a round ball. So cute!!

My uncle used to replace the baby pigeons when they a few days old. He had a pair experienced parents and a pair of unexperienced fancy pigeons. He used to replace the babies of the fancy pigeons with yhe other ones to make sure the fancy pigeons survived. The pigeons laid on the babies and raised them and no problem. Thanks for the video anyway.

New friend here nice looking baby’s! 🕊🕊🕊💙😎

The momma was like you better put my baby back lol

Baby pigeons are def one of the most adorable things in life. Had the opportunity to raise some myself and while they are beautiful as adult pigeons now, I miss their baby ugliness :P

Thank you, I love pigeons so much. This was very educational for me.

As long as both parents are there & the eggs are not put in a different box. They will not be rejected by their parents. I just had two hatched 4 days ago. Today took the Cock off so I can put some pine needles underneath the babies. So I picked up the babies & put them aside, while putting the pine needles under the nest to insure they will not get fay legs. The mother was there watching me. After I finished & put the babies back where they were , the mother got right back on them. No problem.

This is a great educational video, very clear and informative. Thanks so much for posting

That old pigeon is finding this really interesting. As am I.

+Durham 4H Pigeon Club When you flipped him over he was so cute. He was like "what the heck?!?" His expression was so clueless and cute!!!

Great hobby .i was ringing pigeons and canaries today.but you could ring pigeons with your eyes clossed compared to canaries .nice video all the same.

Just saw a brown/white pigeon with a blue band on one leg and a green one on the other on its own outside. Should I be concerned?

Besides racing are there other reasons why people raise pigeons? Is it simply for the enjoyment and relaxation of a beautiful creation? I found a banded pigeon that is so sweet and loving and I am trying hard to find its owner on the national and international registries. So far no luck. I am for filling my responsibility to try to return it to its owner and to help it return to a mate if it has one, but if I am unsuccessful then I will be very happy to raise in love this bird. I already have a built-in aviary in my screen porch and I would like to know how to find a mate for him/her. I believe it is a female. I need to watch a few more videos about sexing them to know for sure.

Nice video there I remember this .I love the part when you pick up the 1st day baby pigeon & mother picking on you.lol my birds did the same too me and wing slap me once in the eye.lol

the pigeon at the first scene looks so innocent.

50 years of pigeon farming, I have Never banded a baby past 3 days and have never had one drop a band.

hi new friend here

Good work and

very nice pigeon :)

what type of pegion it is

Nice

Wonderful perfect nice 😘👍👍👍💯

Good

how do i get a pigeon band

well done video

dont know what size band you have but after 5 or 6 days its almost impossable to put a band on a baby bird

info about the band? size and link to buy them?

Does this hurt his toes? It looks like it would, but he wasn’t crying out or moving much so I guess not. But how does it work?

Can you help me please. I’m my father owns a bunch of pigeons and once in a while they completely abandon new borns before they even have a chance to feed them. I will do everything I can to try and get them to parent them but if it fails then I will take care of them as much as I can. I usually take care of 3 or four day olds with absolutely no problem but the new borns hatching are very tough and I don’t know what to feed them to substitute pigeon crop milk. I need a recipe or something that is a very reliable product. I used kaytee but they grew very very slowly and they still passed even though I followed the directions to the T. Can you please help me.

I use clip on bands so can I band them when there adults?

for some reason at 1:55 when the mom got scared made me laugh XD

Are you using 8mm or 10 mm rings for the pigeons.

Mom looks proud of her one day baby yeah i made that!!

Best flying pigeon

thanks for the video, but don't you think that the band is upside down? some people told me that the number should be read by other people while I'm holding the bird, witch means that the numbers should be upside down in you situation right?

If your watching this from 2021 ur a legend

What size band do you use?

Nic

Can I know the diameter of the band you are using in this video?

I love pigeons!!!!!!!!!!!

Size of the band in mm please ?

@Pitakhh depends on the type of pigeon. I would suggest 6 months is mature

Flying pigeon longer time fly some ask. Any Medience

I like the band how much it is

Is it possible to band adult birds?

Lucky you got that baby done that day! One more day and it would've been too late

I found a baby pigeon on June 16 how can I tell how old it was at the time?

That's pretty neat using a pencil I normally just grab a feather and use the end of a Feather just grab a flight feather or tail feather and I have the long end on it and I put it between the back toe and pull it through either way the job will get done nice video

I was always told by racers to band at ten to fourteen days after hatch, and bands should barely stay on loose. I'm not criticizing, I'm just curious, because your bird did grow so large fast.

how many you have i have 3 how 2 have eggs 2 eggs

I understand why breeders have to band the birds, but I always remove them with a clipping tool after I get them as pets. They always cause trouble when the birds are old are getting stuck on stuff.

The mom like what you doing

👍

Dove si trova acquista anello che metti i piedi su piccione

Where do you buy th3 bands?

Que lindas son😍

Very nice

☺☺☺❤💙
