Homing Pigeons - Must Have Items When Getting Started

Published 2021-04-13
Welcome to my channel!

Here I cover everything I use on the regular or have on hand just in case for my pigeons. It is important to have a few things to keep pigeons healthy and medicate them if they get sick. I take a natural approach to keeping them healthy unless something serious pops up. Then using the right pigeon medication for the birds is important! I hope you enjoy leave a comment if you have questions about homing pigeons!

    I have about 30 pigeons and have lost a few one having the head tilt and flying into walls. Mostly all my babies have been dying. Where do you purchase the vaccine that u use? I want to start vaccinating asap. And how much and how often do you add the apple cider vinegar in there water?
  • Regardless of your level of expertise in pigeons, it opens the door for discussion. I learn just as much from the comments.
  • @georgegatti1
    Knowledge is power, thank you for sharing your knowledge. My birds kick the nest bowls out as well. I take a drywall screw and I put a screw in the wood in front of the nest bowl to hold the bowl in place.
  • @gslofts1763
    As long as you keep your loft clean and give your birds apple cider vinegar, grit, vitamins and exercise and sun you won't need vaccines
  • @Regal.pup.
    Lovely! I have chickens, but am very interested in expanding my bird variety.
  • @TheseInspire
    I appreciate the videos, but would add that emphasizing the absolute need for grit be noted, as well as a 2-inch front for the nests to prevent babies from being pushed out, or inadvertently crawling out and falling to the floor. Adding a landing board in front also would be beneficial. Again, though, your discussion of the medicines is helpful.
  • I would recommend lining the bottom of the cages with something like wood or maybe newspapers since those types of cage floors are bad for the pigeons feet. Otherwise interesting video :)
  • @brownboss876gad
    What prevent them from getting that sickness? Where they neck bent back? And they cant stand up? I hate see them sick like that.. sometime they recover from it
  • @justinxiao9098
    I would argue that grit is almost as important as medication.

    I'm almost afraid to jump in here. I know what a pigeon looks like. ...and there you have the extent of my pigeon knowledge. My husband, who is fighting advanced cancer, was given 8 pigeons. Now, along with caring for husband, 14 chickens, 3 pygmy goats, 2 dogs, 5 cats ... I need info on caring for pigeons. Basics. VERY basic. We have 1 male and 7 females ... I think. How do you tell? How often for ACV? Can someone point me to somewhere I can learn? I'm not finding very many helpful YT videos. I'd appreciate the help very much.
  • I have 4 in a large cage. They keep breaking the eggs and every nest I make they push the egg out and remove the hay. Any suggestions?

    Mashallah and welcome to my channel all about the goldfinch ❤👌
  • @steelyerface21
    if you do suspect pmv or salmonella where the bird is very neurologically ill / flopping around head tilt etc do you recommend culling the birds out and disposing of them or what are your thoughts Guy With The Pink Gun
  • @cpbenjamin582
    I had a pigeon fly into my garage last fall and I have no clue about them. Leaving from watching your videos Also is there a way I can find out where it escaped from? Because it keeps flying back to my garage like it belongs here! 🤷🏻‍♀️Help

    I think my pigeon has conjunctivitis, swollen pink membrane under its eye. Any recommendations?
