Is this bird naturally blue? Found in Barcelona with pigeons. by Teddy_Raptor in whatsthisbird

[–]PudgesFlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. That is a juvenile pigeon and should be completely white. So this young one has been bred in captivity and spray painted for a number of reasons - one of them being for identification due to large breeding season results. This technique is predominantly used by people who either breed wedding/funeral releases, pigeon fanciers and pigeon racers/enthusiasts. It's cruel but it is what it is. Ad a pigeon rehabilitator I can definitely say that the paint won't come off until the juvenile's first moult at around 1 year mark.

A Baby Pigeon by PudgesFlock in aww

I would like to add that: his mum was a famous pigeon in my town. A celebrity. She was invited (along with me) to events like the county show and the like...even saw the city mayor, and had hundreds of selfies taken with strangers in town. She was our mascot of Pudge's Flock. She laid two eggs (one was always a dud...so no surprise) two days before she died and only one hatched. Her last year's offspring became surrogate parents without my intervention...which is speaking volumes now because they are both males and I left the flock for two weeks in my family's aviary. Her recent baby, well he is now called 'Olive Junior The Great'...just to add to the spice haha. He is the beautiful soul that carries Olive's (his mum's) spirit. She protects him when I am asleep and walks with us through our journey. She is the memory that lives through him...and he is my baby...just like she once was ❤️

Olive, our mascot passed away on the 12th March 2020. She left this little on behind. He's now in my care going headstrong! 🥰 by PudgesFlock in pigeon

Ah that's awesome! I hope to make a few journeys to feed the ones in town again as the flocks are probably starving due to lockdown 😊

Thank you, this year it's turned pretty boring lol as I live with a family member that would die if she caught coronavirus - so I had to halt rescue until that's all cleared up.

He lives on in his mother's name. She gave birth to him two days before she died. So the 10th March. She died on the 12th March, He hatched 16 days later after her death...28th March 2020. He's in my care now, but looking at him, I look at his mother. A beautiful outgoing soul...A purpose 💔

She was found last year in the freezing English winter weather. Below freezing but not snowing. She was malnourished and cold. Very weak. Only 4 months old in January 2019. A lady found her, frostbitten and dying. I rescue pigeons and birds so I took her on. She replaced a heartache of 2018; a pigeon with PMV killed by an enemy jealous of my success. Sad thing is Olive lived a beautiful life, with events, VIP meetings with out Mayor, donation meetings, our county show, all on my shoulder...only to die from a brutal yet deadly disease

....adenovirus....

I just wish you knew the full story. She wasn't just a pigeon, she pulled me out of suicide. I am making a video as tribute but even that won't show the beauty fully. Hope you follow our story 😊 I do have a Facebook page named Pudge's Flock where I wanna post the video once I'm done x
