Hello. I’ve just subscribed to your channel and look forward to catching up on all of your videos. I’m looking for a bit advice if you don’t mind me asking. I’ve a young pair of pigeons. Under 3 months old. I’ve had them for 2 months of that time but they’re still timid. I spent most of the day with them and we have a nice little routine. They sit on me from time to time but are scared of my hand still so can’t settle. Any tips for a pair reading to bond with each other? Thank you so much! Big pigeon love from Scotland ❤️
Thank you for the lovely comment! They're still young and will not bond to each other since they haven't reached sexual maturity the will reach it at 6 months. I have to be honest I never owned a pair of pigeons before but there are a lot of pigeon forums online! If you have Discord you could either join my Discord server Pecks and Poops or Companion Pigeon Chat I would recommend joining Companion Pigeon Chat since there are many loft owners and breeders who know how to deal with babies. Taming your pigeons could take a while have you tried having your hands next to their cage? Or just being on the phone around them? If they learn that your hands never invade their personal space or never do any harm they will hopefully be a bit more comfortable around your hands! I hope this helped feel free to comment any more questions :)
@@guaponthepigeon7122 thank you for taking the time to get back to me on a video you posted a while ago - I didn’t expect it. I had wondered if it was just because there was two of them at once (brother and sister) and it would take a while longer. They’re out of their cage from morning til night. They’re in my room or out in the aviary I converted for them. They come to my arms, sit on my shoulders and head. But each morning we start all the scared way again, running away when I move or get close. I don’t have discord or anything else like that I’m afraid. UA-cam has been my saving grace as there isn’t much online on the way for pigeons. ❤️
@@seansmart2756 Your welcome! I always try to respond to any comments on my video no matter how old the video is! They could be a little frightened by you in the morning because they aren't expecting it? I really don't have any clue my best guess would be to go inside the room they are in at the same time everyday if you aren't doing that already. I really do recommend getting discord and joining pigeon servers since there are so many knowledgeable people there!
Ooh that’s cool!
Thanks!
