i have some questions about pet pigeons?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 2 Comments

hi i was thinking about getting 2 pigeons but i have a lot of questions.
I have a flock of chickens and i was wondering if i could add pigeons to the coop. The pigeons would live in the top of the coop that is right now used 4 storage but if i put bedding and a feeder in waterer in it could i house pigeons in it. the storage area is a 4 ft by 4 ft room that is accessed by a latter, the hens live under it and they aren’t able to get inside the area. iv heard that chickens give pigeons diseases but if they aren’t interacting just in the same coop would they still be able to get diseases form each other?
also could a pair of pet pigeons live together in a regular bird house of or is that to exposed to predators?
with is better a male n female or 2 females (males fight right)?
is it better to buy adults or eggs?
most of the adult pigeons ive seen cost like each because they are from breeders but is it possible to get them cheaper?
Were do you get hatching pigeon eggs, ive looked on eggbid and ebay and other websites but haven’t found any. Is it ok to let the pigeons out for the whole day to fly around and then lock them up at night?
can i feed pigeons chicken food or is this unhealthy
i know nothing about pigeons so dont worry im gonna do i lot more research before i get them
thanx

a guy took a baby bird?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 4 Comments

A teen who is a little troubled emotionally (but not violent at all, my dogs are therapy dogs for him) took a baby robin (looks almost full grown but couldn’t fly) after my dogs found it and were pushing it around with their noses but they didn’t injure it. The parent birds were flying around our heads. I couldn’t talk him into just leaving the bird where it was found. He took the bird to his house and said he’ll feed it bird seed they have for the bird feeder.

Can the bird survive? Can I tell him how else to take care of it, what it should eat? How can he help it to fly? I just don’t think it’s right he took this bird, but as I said I couldn’t talk him out of it. His father is in jail, his mother not around, he lives with grandparents who don’t see anything wrong with it. Thank you for help.

Will baby birds get stuck in a bird house?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 10 Comments

We got a bird house exactly like the one in this picture http://www.pawtographs.com/assets/images/Bird_House_Icon.jpeg

A pair of tiny birds has moved in.
When the babies are born, will they be able to get out when they are ready to fly? There is no swing door on the bird house, only a little hole.
Thanks.

who knows what type of bird this is?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 7 Comments

okay. story? we were hanging out around in my house, when my little brother decided to go outside. he saw something black on our wooden fence, but he thought it was just paint. then it started flapping! he heard it flapping and when he looked over he saw it flapping its wings. he ran in to tell me, and i went to tell my dad. my dad went and grabbed some gloves and came outside with us. the poor thing was traumatized! it was flapping consistently and it’s right leg and right wing were stuck insie the fence! its leg is bleeding and cut but it can fly. so we brought it inside my house and now its kinda just hanging out in my room. it started flying around (i recorded it flying for a while) and a couple of minutes later i went back into the room to go and bandage its leg. we put some antibiotic cream on the cut and wrapped a crayola crayon bandaid on the foot. as soon as i upload the videos onto youtube, ill give you guys the link. but what i wanna know is, what kinda bird it is?
here’s some pictures that i took. i realize that you’ll need the pictures for a closer answer:

Onyx

some more description… when it’s in the sun, it’s head kinda turns colors. like it turns blue, purple, green, and black. it’s very faint. its like a multicolored bir. but each feather is like that. here’s some more pictures. the first 3 pics were taken before we bandaged his leg. in the last picture, if you look closely at it’s legs, you’ll see the bandaid:

so does anybody know what kind of bird it is? and dont worry, after it’s fully healed, we’re going to set it free again.

:)
i’ve figured out what it is. it’s a common grackle. thanks.

help please!!! i have a wild bird in my house?

Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 14 Comments

today i saw a bird get hit by a car and took it inside and have been taking care of it by putting it in a box with holes, opened the top, have a towel under it, small bowl of water and food, a heating pad on one half and the other half just regular heat incase it gets too hot for him. its in my room [quiet] and i made the lights very dim so its dark enought for him to go to sleep and light enough to see where he is going and his food and water….
so heres my problem, when he got hit by the car he kept on twitching his head and still does it very mildly and only does it once in a while, what does that mean? its like a typewriter…he goes fast to the front [making his head normal and in the front position] and then it starts slowing going to the right….my bird last year had a seizure and did this sorta but it was extremely worse…does it mean it has a problem with his brain?
also it flys and can walk but when we put it out side to fly it just stayed on the grass…and we tryed to
scare it a little to make it fly because thats how it flew in my house before [it got scared]
we still dont know if his wing is injured because he uses it sometimes but then he doesnt when we try to make him fly
what can i do
am i taking care of him okay? or should i just let him be free?
the other thing is we have outdoor cats and if he cant fly im sure they are going to eat him, and i do NOT want that!
i love animals and i will do anything for them
any help???
Pleaseee????
if it gets attatched to me that is fine! i would love to have another bird…but can i? is it safe to have a wild bird as a pet?

    Anyone know how to keep a bird from coming to your window?

    Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 8 Comments

    It’s always the same bird same window same time of day and every day. It comes to my daughters window at about 8 a.m. and pecks at it until it wakes her up then it flies away till the next day. Opening or banging at the window doesnt scare it doesnt do anything. I dont want to kill it but if I cant find a way to get it to stop it has to die. So all you P.E.T.A. members and bird lovers out there if you wanna save a birds life give me some ideas.

    P.E.T.A, I do not kill innocent animals or condone killing animals. The thing is if you have a pest in your house like a fly or a mouse you kill it. This is outside but its being a bigger pest than any fly or mouse could be.
