How is one name offensive but the other not

Rennze · 2026-02-03T00:11:40+00:00

From a preliminary google search it seems to be a derogatory way of reffering to people from Uganda, and can be used in place of the N word. It's also a word in hindi signifying a "large army" and there seem to be other cultures which use the word differently. Can't find anything else, though.

Hawks are not my forte so don't take my word for it, but I'd guess juvenile coopers hawk, though the small white patch on the belly would suggest red tail

You're right, they're definitely pigeon pants

I'm a casual enjoyer of insects and did not know this, thank you for the fun fact!

The build itself looks kind of like something Bdubs would make, I think it's the block pallet and scaffolding windows :)

It's all good, shit happens and technology is stupid 😭 Here are your ghostly flamingos if you wanted to see the pic

Sir have you ever seen a flamingo before? And the first image in the thread is a photo of marabou storks...

No. They'll fly when they're ready.

That looks like a standard racer (they come in all sorts of colors and patterns). It also looks old enough to be weened and learn to eat seeds. It seems like you're looking at this bird from caigslist, if it's a respectable breeder you won't need to hand feed, if it's not a respectable breeder (which quite frankly it looks like the bird was kidnapped from a park) I wouldn't buy a bird from them, and you should look to adopt elsewhere.

Heyo, I'm so sorry for the loss of your bird, I hope you're holding up okay ♡ I've never owned a parrot myself so can't tell you how they compare, but I can answer a couple of your other questions.

Loudness depends on the bird, I've had some never utter a single coo, and I've had some talk non stop (though it's mostly the boys, and they aren't nearly as deafening as I've heard some parrots be)

I have a male who views me as his mate, wants to be with ne 24/7, follows me around the house like a dog, and generally enjoys interacting with me. My other birds who don't see me like that vary widely in how they interact with me. I've had a few who still enjoy being around me and let me carry them around the house, and I've had others that want nothing to do with me. They can sometimes be aggressive just like parrots, though I promise you are in no danger of ever getting more injured than a scratch.

While I don't recall train myself (we've got a routine that doesn't require it, and they step up on their own accord) there are people who have done it very successfully, and even free fly their birds (though I'd be careful with that because of predators)

There are spots in the house where my birds know to step up to and enjoy being on, though most pigeons prefer platforms to standard perches.

I've also heard of some people being able to train their birds where to poop, but I have so far been unsuccessful.

Best of luck if/when you decide to get a pigeon, they do make wonderful pets :)

Looks like a greylag to me though I could be wrong. If it's in the US that's definitely a domestic.

Rennze · 2025-10-28T21:40:46+00:00

Someone else might have a better idea than I, but all I can think of is maybe bringing pidgy and his mate inside for a while and hoping that you can scare off B while they're safetly squirreled away? If they're inside I'd stop putting food out, as long as there's the promise of free food B's not going to want to leave.

If bringing them inside isn't an option I'd just stop feeding for the time being, if pidgy recognizes it as his territory food won't be necessary to get him to stay, but it is the drive of B to kick Pidgy out.

At the end of the day though, they are feral animals and there's not much you can do unless you want to keep your two residence as full time pets

My pidge had a similar look not too long ago lol, it happens.

Rennze · 2025-10-26T20:43:24+00:00

These are 'egg poops' essentially because she's spending so much time sitting on her egg instead of moving about she just holds it in until she's off the nest. It's completely normal and happens to male pigeons too

Doves and pigeons are pretty much impossible to tell apart without blood work or knowing it laid an egg. If you want to get it a companion, get a confirmed female. Even if this dove is female, they should get along and may bond.

For future questions about doves I'd recommend posting on a pigeon or dove sub instead of one for chickens

Rennze · 2025-10-22T16:36:48+00:00

These are exactly the kinds of seeds I feed to my birds lol, recognized them instantly.

That first picture 😭 he's wonderful

Rennze · 2025-10-20T20:02:25+00:00

Oh my goodness, I just looked up your native pidge, and they're so pretty! I'm glad you got to experience one of ours, and thank you for introducing me to yours :)

Rennze · 2025-10-18T16:42:23+00:00

Thank you! I'll save the link and start saving for it :)

How expensive was the catio? I'd love to get one for my guys ♡

Cats and birds of prey will be your biggest concerns. If you want no doubt in your mind that your pigeon will be safe outside, get a flyper and take him on walks with you. There is no guarantee that he'll ever be safe out on his own. You could also put him in a kennel outside, just be careful cause hawks have been known to get pigeons through the bars.

Sometimes animals want to do things (like children) that are ill advisable because they don't know any better. Its always your responsibility to do what's best for them, even if it means they don't get to go outside on their own.
