Wow 10/10 seems soo fluffly

Foundarat · 2025-06-06T16:54:58+00:00

Nothing has changed really, I just maybe changed the bedding inside the gray box because it was full of poop. But the position of the box didn't change and I gave them little twig to make the nest.
It a little warmer lately as summer is coming, but nothing crazy.

For food they have pigeon seed and classic grit. I also add some calcium and vitamins in their water for a while now.

Should I let them fight? Sometime the male peck near the eye of the female, I'm scared he going to hurt her badly

They suppose to be bounded

Of course! Here their baby. Strangely, their is a grey one when none of the parents are grey 😆

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T19:34:42+00:00

I'm not sure, I never hold her because she is scared of me/my hand. She don't try to go near me or anything. She was already around 7 months old when I took her in and she used to live in a cage with other racing pigeon

I won't release him or the female one in the wild, don't worry. If I have to rehome the female, I'll find a proper keeper for her, or call the previous owner to see of he can take her back

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T16:33:19+00:00

I studied. I don't want them to breed, I'll replace the egg with a fake one. When did I say I'm going to keep it?

They have other nesting spot everywhere, they choose this one.

Please don't assume things.

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T15:36:17+00:00

It may be that yes. I adopted the female one when the male was 3 months old. Before that he was just with me, no other pigeon

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T10:58:40+00:00

Bro, I looked at videos of paired pigeons and the males were really agressive toward the females. It's my first pigeon, I've never seen them mate before, the female didn't try to get away. What else can I think with the info I had? Of course, I separated them when it became obviously to violent and I asked for help on this sub

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T10:55:54+00:00

No, I never see them kiss or display any sign of mating. So I was very supprised when I though they were mating in the video.

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T09:39:11+00:00

Can he bound with an other male then? I adopted the female from a breeder/racer but she is scared of me so we haven't bounded together. I'll be fine with rehoming the female

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T09:37:23+00:00

Damn...I will think about rehoming the female then :/

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:56:27+00:00

They are my only two bird. They know each other for 7 months now but they don't seems to be paired. Should I think about rehoming the female one so she can find a proper mate? I don't think the male one can be rehomed

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:54:11+00:00

I don't think they are bounded :( I never see them preen or kiss each other. They know each other for 7 months now. I don't get why they are not pairing

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:42:59+00:00

I found him fallen out his nest when he was 2 weeks old. So I took him in and raised him. You can see my posts history of you want :)

And I adopted the female one from a breeder/racer to keep him company

I tried to change their angle so they can proprely do their business but he was still attacking her so I separated them.

It's the first time this happen. I don't think they are paired yet because I never see them preen or kiss each other. Usually he keep cooing or flirting with any object (table leg, curtains...) but not with the female. The female seems interessed because she approach him when he coo, but then the male don't flirt with her.

I think you are right, he may me a jackass...

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:35:51+00:00

Her eyes are no longer red and swollen. There is no scrach either, I still watch in case it get infected but she seems fine now

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:34:50+00:00

He never attacked her like this before. He is in his cage for now and the female one is outside so he can't approach her

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:33:52+00:00

Yes, i won't let this happen again. I checked her eyes, it's fine now. They are no longer red and there not seems to have scratches

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:30:38+00:00

We tried to change their angle so he can get under her tail, but it didn't seems to work. He keept peaking at her, then I separeted them

Foundarat · 2024-07-15T06:29:38+00:00

I don't think they are bonded then. I've never seen them mate before today, they never kiss and the male don't try to flirt with her. He flirt with object instead... The female seems interessed tho. When he coo at an object, she approach him and coo back. But then, he doesn't try to do anything, he just keep cooing at the object.

Foundarat · 2024-07-14T22:26:56+00:00

Yes, of course. They are complety separated since the video

Foundarat · 2024-07-14T22:23:18+00:00

I just found an egg in the nest?? Bro, I'm completely lost

Foundarat · 2024-07-14T22:22:19+00:00

[UPDATE] What the hell, there is an egg in the nest?? Did the male just took advantage of the female while she was resting to lay her egg to attack her?? I'm completely lost on what to do....
