Happy new year Aila!! Hope you and the pets are well! I've also hatched a few babies myself. It's a process, but it's fun and cute! I have a few clips of my baby pigeons on my page. Super cute. Hope your babies grow up strong! ❤
Thank you, happy new year! Pet’s and I are good. The babies have definitely been a learning process for me, but it has been quite rewarding! Your babies are cuties too! I hope you are also doing well!
Beautiful babies! I'm also breeding pet pigeons, and I prefer crossbreeds too - they tend to be healthier and live longer. Loft keepers might not like them, but that's optimal for pets. By the way, pigeon "milk" is not really crushed seeds - just like mammal milk is not liquified adult food. It's literally produced inside the crops, sometimes mixed with seeds that they eat, but in the essence it's pigeon's own protein and fat that they produce. And btw i also co-parent babies with their parents. Some fully isolate them from parents around 2-3 weeks old, but i don't think that's necessary. They still grow up tame as long as they interact with humans every day. It's more important what happens between 3 weeks and 2 months - that's when babies can turn less friendly if they interact with adult birds a lot. So it's best to keep them in separate cages and only let them fly together couple times a day, and most of the time they should see people close to them.
Also the baby with black feathers is likely a female and the red one is male. That's because the only way the baby could inherit red is from mom, but only boys inherit two copies of base color. Girls take color from dad only, and he can't have any ash red, since it's dominant and he'd show it. Take a closer look at the red one's tail: if there's any black markings, then it's 100% het ash red + black male.
Well, bubbly, it looks like it's going to take a lot of time to tame this way. I have had pigeons all my life. My breeds are Canadain and Pakistani tipplers, white homers, Polish highflyers, and Egyptian swifts. Egyptian swifts are very unique. But a very nice investment and rehabilitation of your time.
Well Bubbly you are very inspirational. So it seems that you have the Midas touch for what you do. And I thank you for having an alternative way of keeping these beautiful birds. As our flying and showing sport is dying out. I would love to meet you one day.
Funny that pigeons are exotic now since they used to be so quintessential to humans. We did pigeons dirty by casting them to the streets and labelling them rats with wings.

have you ever tried to tame down a senior pigeon?

Wow, you keep a lot of pigeons! I think it’s really cool that you’ve grown up raising them and have that experience and knowledge.
