Wow she stayed on your arm during the whole 16 minutes

Am I the only one that find their cooing really relaxing? Or...

My budgie screaming at me for thinking about getting another bird

just adopted a rescue pigeon thanks to your video! so helpful and encouraging!

I found you through one of the pigeon groups I'm in! I just adopted my first pigeon yesterday. She came into the wildlife center i volunteer at badly neglected, and clearly imprinted. We bonded quickly and became best friends. I hadn't seen her in a week and a half but she was still so excited to see me. We've already had several good couch naps and she's been learning how to fly and enjoying all the room to stretch her wings! Keep making videos! There aren't enough videos for pet pigeon owners out there!!

That bird she's holding looks like a bird I once had named Sandy, we called him Sandy the Chicken ! Reason being Sandy thought he was a chicken, he felt more comfortable with my chickens, than with my pigeons and the chickens didn't mind Sandy hanging with them.

Dear Crazy Pigeon Lady -- Thank you so much for this entire series of wonderfully helpful pigeon-related videos! We were "adopted" by our pigeon a dozen years ago. We were out for a walk on a lovely spring day and she followed us home on foot part of the way and then rode on my head until we returned home. Her name is Piggly and she's been the house bird ever since then and in her cage she gets along perfectly well with our dogs and cats. She learned how to "bark" from our Great Pyrenees, so any delivery person or friend coming to our door is immediately "announced". She is extremely affectionate and on nice days she likes to go out with us when we're gardening -- half the time she flies about our yard on her own and the rest of the time she parks herself on our shoulders or heads and supervises our work. When we're done, she goes right back into the house with us. She's a wonderful bird, is very intelligent and has plenty of personality. She's a people person and doesn't like other pigeons at all which we have always found surprising. Guess who rules the roost at our place? Thanks again for your terrific talks, CPL!

Im gonna get a pigeon some day, i cant get one now cause i have a dog that tries to kill every thing he sees but i used to have a cockatiel and im really missing having a bird

I am from big town and people used to laugh at me because I have always found pigeons cute. Glad to knowthat im not the only one!

I REALLY WANT A PIGEON🥺

you also have to consider how many pigeon pants you can buy them

This is lovely information. My mother, a former cockatiel owner, is looking for another bird, and I’m trying to make a case for a properly domesticated animal.

I’ve always loved birds, but my household wouldn’t be able to handle the loudness from parrots, so I’ve decided pigeons would be a better option. Thanks for the video.

Pigeons are my favorite creature on Earth! They are truly the best pets as well. Thank you for this video.

You're taking on a...coo-mmitment...get it!? Damn I'm good.

I didn't have a Pigeon but I had a Ringneck Dove that lived for 20 years that passed away last year he was very wild with his laughing and cooing. I think if I were to get another pet it would be a pigeon but I'm not ready for the commitment, love the brown feathering though, beautiful bird.

That pigeon is absolutely beautiful! Great video, new sub here from Norway. In my childhood we had pigeon named Thor, loved him so much, very loving, not hard to take care of in my opinion compared to other pets I have had. My husband have very bad allergies so I can’t have one, my house if full of aquariums instead, but I support pigeon rescues financially. And I care for the wild pigeons in my garden, especially in winter. Absolutely love them...

Back in Iraq we used to breed hundreds of pigeons in our garden, where we even grew dates and figs (all normal things to do in the Middle-East) Usually we either sold or ate them, but whenever i did a good deed or got some time off studies, i got one to take care of personally all on my own until it died. I miss those days.

I am preparing my home for a pigeon companion, and your series is such a godsend in my preparation process. Thank you!! -

Great info. I am learning more before I decide on getting a pair!

Lots of great info there. Thank you.

Yay another crazy pigeon lady!!! Respect!!❤

I love my birds so much. Super cuddly

Adorable pigeons 💕💕💕

Thank you for all your information. I have a rescue pigeon, that was reported as flying in a local alley with threaded feet. Shehe was always alone ;not part of the local flocks. After over a week of trying I managed to net her. She has x 2 coloured rubber rings in each leg - no numbers. I have fed her up, given vitamins and gotten rid of the awful Feather Mites. She's put on 3.5 ounces! I very, very carefully and slowly removed the threads and bathed the feet several times in diluted HIBISCRUB So, now she's lovely and talks to me and flies around the soare room. We are a rescue group and are trying so hard to find an aviary fir her/him. There's some plucking of leg down, as if making a nest.... day times cage is on balcony for fresh air fir a few hours, at night they're back in the cage. How can I keep it happy until we find a safe home for it? No one has claimed the bird, despite posting on FB. Any ideas please? We're near Brighton, in Sussex.

I’m getting a pigeon soon and I’m so excited!!!

Thanks for the video. God bless you!

Thank you for this video ! we once found a dove that crash-landed in our garden and stayed with us for 2 weeks before going on it's merry way. The bird choose a high chair as his prefered perch in the kitchen so my mom put newspaper there to poop-proof it. Surprisingly, he never pooped anywhere else than outside or on the newspaper. A very polite bird. He got well fat, started flying again after 1 week and by the next week he went further and further, until he never came back. We think he was domesticated but lost, since he looked very used to being handled. That's the 2nd bird who used our house as a hostel (first one was a pigeon from germany who got lost after a flying competition. We found the owner thanks to its ring) and Ive been wanting pigeons ever since !

Great video. I love pigeons.

Very nice video, good for beginners & pigeon lovers.you are doing great job.lot of love from India.Bless you.

We found a baby pigeon (my cat caught him , but he wasn't injured) He is around the age where (soon) they learn how to fly - according to my dad. He is really small and can't eat on his own. I am happy to have him as my pat , as of today!

@The Crazy Pigeon Lady First off, lovely video! Super informative, and Ana is so cute! I've been wanting some sort of pet bird for a few years now, initially I was very into the idea of a budgie or some other sort of parrot, but after doing a lot of research I decided they weren't right for me. I've always loved pigeons, I live in a big city so I see them all of the time. About a year ago my family decided to move, where we're moving there is a lot of room for chickens or some sort of aviary. I have 2 dogs that are pretty small but they would not do well with a pigeon or any small animal, but because they're small I can easily keep them separated. I go to school during the day so I was considering getting two pigeons and building them a secure aviary outside, and then when I get home I can bring then inside. One of the big reasons I've fallen in love with pet pigeons is because of how affectionate they are, would a pair be less affectionate to me? Or would it be smarter to get one pigeon first, (that would be indoors because I'm home all day currently) and then get the second one when we move? Also what pigeon breed would you say is the most affectionate, but would also be alright outside for some of the day and at night? Thanks so much for reading this super long passage :) (by the way there is a pigeon rescue pretty close by to me, so that's not an issue)

all the avian shelters in my area have pigeons so definitely look into that if you’re having a hard time finding one.

I have 4 pigeons 2 we bought then rescued 2 love them the ones that we bought there about to breed so I can have and train one pigeons for my self I love then them they make my day better X

Thank you

You had me sold until you mentioned the poop lol. Good to know. Thanks for the video

I mainly clicked on this video cause i saw that amazing lahore pigeon but damn am i glad i did i cause i learned alot great vid

I love how your pigeon in particular looks just like a short chicken to me lol

Ty because my grandma found an injured pigeon and planning on keeping it until it gets better

Nice video and nice bird....Lahore pigeon👍

Rescuing a pigeon from an abusive situation! Already have cage and a few toys and perches!

Yours looks just like my "Halle Berry"...I've had her 4 yrs now and we just love her.

thank you!!! you’re awsome :)

It's very stylish. A man is like a bird that sits on his hand. It is literally the same person, but in the form of a bird and in the form of a person. In one frame. It is very interesting.

That’s a big berdo. I have 8 rescued kings and 2 homers. Outside berds but have one or two that would be good indoors

Thank you! When I grow up I want to have a pigeon 💕

Pigeons are awesome. I am involved in pigeon rescue. I still have the first couple of pigeons I rescued (around 14 years ago) - a wood pigeon and a feral. The only thing I would say is that if you have a pet pigeon, and you end up rescuing another (say you find one on the ground), then do NOT mix the birds. If a bird is on the ground then its ill and needs to be quarantined and treated. Wash your hands between attending to the birds, and preferably wear/change gloves.

Full support my friend will be there for you and will be there

Thank you so mush for this video! My family recently got a hunting dog and she is getting trained to catch birds. She has lessons and on her second lesson we took home a live pigeon to train with. My brother had to throw the pigeon for my dog to retrieve. My dog was particularly soft mouthed with pigeon though so he(we named him Kevin) lived through all the training(being the conscious bearing humans we are, we took good enough care of him for him to survive the 2 weeks of training) I have been doing research all day of how to rehab a pigeon since he still had a few small cuts and feathers missing I am planning on bathing him for the first time tomorrow If anyone has tips on bathing, feeding, care, etc. , please reply to this comment, Kevin would really appreciate it

This is one of the most informative videos I've watched on the subject, kudos. Invest in some solid audio equipment an you're set 😎

I don’t have any “pet” pigeons of my own. However, I do have the feral pigeons I feed down by the river. They like seed, oats and fat snacks, as do the swans, ducks, geese and seagulls. I even sometimes get the odd moorhen!

omg chonky birb 😍

I have a balcony. ..my bird rests on flower baskets..to and fro...about five large laundry baskets ...one has grounded water bowl..one has a rockery...and others good fro scratching and basking....when it rains or to cold i keep him on back of my winged chair rest..with paper towles. .and at night i place him in box and cover it outside of draft....his food is varied seeds fruit and outside i sprinkel grit ..edired egg shells

i didn’t decide to get one my mum found a baby pigeon that fell out of its nest and it was hurt so she took it home and it lives in a box in her office and i named it cookie and she works so long so im going to take care of it

Does the social time with a pigeon always have to be the same person? If you were out of town for a few days, for example, could another person familiar with the pigeon spend time with it while you're gone?

Just found a street baby pigeon , been feeding the baby and gaining weight good, loves to sit on me xxx

Yes 👍👍👍👍👍👍🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Какая красивая птица❤❤❤

How cool is being a pigeon owner 😎

My best friends… my totem❤️🦅

Do you think a pigeon is easier or harder to keep than an indoor cat? Or is that like comparing apples and oranges? Asking mainly because I really want to have a companion once I move out, but I know I will probably be living in an apartment and won't have the time for a dog.

Wonderful video, I wish I could get some pigeons! Do you know if I could get fertilized eggs online? (I have an incubator)

Any insight about pigeons mixing with other bird s , i. e. Chickens in coop. ? I'm thinking for social engagent. I've just inherited him/her . So scrambling to learn .

Racing pigeons, I've seen many live twenty or to thirty years. Tumbler and roller breeds I've had live from over ten to almost twenty years.

I always loved pigeons and adored the sound they make. I live in a 2 room apartment and think one that is allowed to fly freely inside might be best. Any tips?

Looking for advice, and as always it’s much more difficult to find pigeon help online. I rescued a male homing pigeon (DNA tested) about a year ago named Dooby, he’s indoor only in a very large cage and comes out once a day with his pigeon pants. Another rescue pigeon came to me, and I figured Dooby could use a friend. He is also a male, but I did my best research and it sounded like they can get together well, but they may have to develop a dominance hierarchy once introduced. I kept the new pigeon (Chili) quarantined for 2 weeks, then kept him in a small cage next to Dooby’s for another 2 weeks. I first let them meet outside of the cage with pants on, they talked some but didn’t seem to mind each other much. Since they’ve been in the same cage, Dooby has been instigating fights. He’s territorial about 2 specific spots in the cage, and when Chili goes near there he starts his “dominance coo”, puffs up struts around, occasionally pecks Chili’s butt. At first Chili was scared, he would move to a different spot. We have been trying to split up the fighting as much as possible, but from what I’ve read they will eventually “sort it out”. I am starting to see Chili now getting fed up with Dooby’s constant instigating and he has talked/pecked back, but Chili does seem interested in just being close/hanging out with Dooby. So my question is, do I not intervene and let them figure it out? Or do I separate them again? Will they be able to live together ever or would it be dangerous to keep them together? I’ve tried taking out/moving small things around that Dooby is especially attached to, but not sure what else to do. If any fellow pigeon people have any input please let me know! Thank you Jem for all of your content, you helped me tremendously when I first acquired my rescue!!

I really want one

Is there a video where you go into more detail about food birds as pets? If I wanted to rescue a pigeon, I would probably end up with one of those breeds. As someone who grew up with parents who bred parrots, I'm simply amazed at the concept of a bird that can't decide to rip your thumb open on a whim.

I just found a pigeon on the street and his wing was hurt also he couldn’t fly so I adopted him but I don’t know how to take care of him so any tips?

Very beautiful Lahore pigeon. I've 4 pigeons of that kind.

@summersmooth 0 seconds ago I use to be homeless up untill january this year. I use to sit out side home bargains begging everyday. everyday fgor 12 moth a brown pigeon would come sit with me everyday and share food i got of customers. She once came with an broken egg stuck to her bottom, so i caught her and removed the shell. I am now in recovery and live in a lovely home. but that little pigeon got me through the covid lockdown and she was so inelligent, Just after 2 weeks i saw her in the main city of Wakefield, I saw a pigeon the same color as my pal, so i shouted and to my amazment, it was my pal. she flew out of the pack and wobbled running straight towards me lol xx

moar toasted marshmello birb pls

Hi I’ve just acquired a racing pigeon that I want to keep as a pet. I have 2 budgies, could they be let out in the same room together?

is it possible/legal to have wood pigeons as pets? it seems like most people go for feral pigeons? but I love wood pigeons more. but they seem a lot more shy.

Hello! My caique recently passed away a year ago and wanted to know if I would be able to use some of the stuff I got for him for a pigeon? I’ve wanted one for some time and hope to adopt one soon! My family is planning to make a greenhouse/aviary in our yard, would that be a good place for the pigeon to stay? Also wanted to know any useful things you have found while owning pigeons that may help. Thanks so much :] hope you see this!

I've ben researching pigeons for a few weeks now and my biggest concern at the moment is once I'm able to work back in office that it''ll be harmful to the pigeon. I work full time 9-5, 5 days a week in a studio environment. I'm certain I can work something out with my job to do part-time at studio and at home when the time eventually comes, but I'd like to know how well a pigeon would handle that amount of time away from me to better plan around it. Do you have any resources I can reference?

In France I know only 1 pigeon rescue center, that pretty hard to find them

The easiest place to find a pigeon for me is a pet market. But it's stuffed full of chickens, ducks and dozens of other birds which seemingly might have diseases TwT

What do I do of my rescued pigeon had gotten anger issues after I had to leave for a funeral for a month ( I had a very loving friend care for him while I was gone ) please help !

uncomplex needs 👍

Here is a question: I always was concerned that if we need to keep them indoors all time, doesn't this atrophy their wings, their ability to fly? don't they miss this? I mean, if you don't have a lot of high ceilings, how can they excersize this instinct?

I need a pet pigeon

Hi I’m from East Midlands uk with no experience of pets. looking to buy a pair of dove, I wouldn’t want to cage them. already bought about 6ft loft and kept it ready in my backyard but i fear if they fly away ? Not sure if i can buy now in winter or should I wait until spring ? Please advice thanks🙏😀

I am curently a student so during the day I am not at home and you mentionned that having a day to day job was not a good thing. I've been wanting a pigeon for a long time now so would it really impact the bird if I'm not home during the day? I do not want to do harm to a bird because I can't see it for a couple of hours everyday.

Hej from Denmark! I have a question. My little daughter want a pigeon or a couple of them. But we do not want to multiply them because hygienic and shortness of space. what will you recommend to us. should we keep pigeon or not can we control there birth rate or ..? what kind or race of pigeons are good for kids. and I even like from childhood but could not keep because my parents did not allowed. They mean that they are making shit and ...Thank you (we will keep them out side)

Hey! I just got a pet pigeon a week ago, she’s really nervous around people. She’ll start shaking whenever anyone walks by, and she’s terrified of being touched or held. Any suggestions on how to tame her?

I just found a brocken tail Pigeon in my way. I just want to taking care of

I rescued a pigeon, and when I rehabilitated him and tried releasing him, he refused to move from my front door, though he was fully capable of flying without any difficulty, so I decided to look after him. He now mates with my hand, and makes a loud aggressive-sounding cooing noise quite often, even when he flies across the room and lands. How do I discourage these behaviours?

Can I ask a stupid question? :) Why do the pigeons in the parks of England can land on your hand when you offer bait but this never happens in my city İstanbul? Im a bird lover pet a lot of breeds but cant find the answer of that if the birds I saw would be in a small town I would say they're used to people or nobody bother them, there is less noise pollution but in the middle of London wild pigeons behave as if they're tamed.

Do pigeons bred for food make good pets? We often go to China, and there is this market next to my grandma’s place which sells live pigeons for food. The pigeons are really cramped in the cages so I feel bad for them, but I don’t know if they can ever trust me if I were to adopt some.

I love pigeons and feed the wild ones from my flat balcony. Can I ask how you cope with them shitting everywhere being home kept?

I might hatch raceing pigeons spesificly becouse if they get loose they eventually come back

i have to work 3 days a week, and can be gone for up to 12 hours, would i be okay with a lone bird or would it do better with a friend for while im gone

should i get a wild pigeon? i wanna get one cause my mom wont let me get one

You just sold me in pigeons.

In your opinion, is it wise to keep two female pigeons together in one cage?

Hello beautiful pigeon! What kind/breed of pigeon is it?

What if I go to school for 7-8 hours? Is it okay to leave them for that long. I only want one.

One question, im a beginner and im learning about pigeons because im about to buy one, is a untamed pigeon able to tame easily?

What is the best breed of pigeon for pets
