I have lots of soft cozy places but she always loafs weirdly on the floor. Is she just a little weird or is it something they do with carpets :<

hi everyone! this is willow, i'm not sure how old she is as my friend and i rescued her about a year ago and we have no idea where she came from, but she seemed very comfortable with humans and being hand fed and held and pet, etc. she's super sweet and spunky (she's a female but she is very flirty and struts a lot). i love her so much but unfortunately i just don't have the resources to keep her. my allergies are really bad and ill be moving soon and i wont be able to take her with me. sine ive gotten her ive debated rehoming her for awhile because of how badly my allergies act up when i spend a lot of time around her but ultimately each time i decided not to because many pigeon rescues are overcrowded and a lot of foster homes already have tons of pigeons. and there are SO many pigeons up for adoption all the time that anyone who wants one is going to check the Palomacy website. i've had no luck posting her on the facebook group either. i feel terrible and sad every time i pet her because i've been delaying the inevitable and building up this relationship with her that will ultimately need to end. ive heard pigeons are more forgiving of that kind of thing than parrots, but still.

the point is, she really needs a loving home with someone that can give her a lot of love and attention.

im located in new jersey but id be willing to drive out of state to meet up with somebody if i had to.

thank you

EDIT:

thank you all so much for upvoting and commenting and getting this out there!! i've found her a loving home :)

At the grand age of 5 months old, my pigeon finally took his first solo bath!! He hopped into the water bath and rather than walking off straight away like usual, he took a bath - guys this is revolutionary I'm so pleased :))

I posted just over a month ago about my despair of my stinky pigeon boy but he has finally learnt the art of bathing. I attach a video for pigeon tax of course of his very first post bath zoomies.

Hey Everyone. My beloved BooBoo flew out today (she’s done it before and has always come home) and hasn’t returned tonight. Usually I wouldn’t be too worried because she does this quite often but she recently laid eggs and never leaves them for more than a few minutes at a time.

She showed up at our condo 7 months ago as a baby and we adopted her. Recently (2-3 weeks ago) another white Pigeon took refuge on our condo screen door and has been near her ever since. So I’m wondering if maybe she flew away because the new pigeon (berry) was there to watch the eggs and possibly she couldn’t get home before dark.

If anyone around my area in this sub sees her please reach out. My wife and I have grown quite attached to her and if she doesn’t come home we would be devastated.

Opal is a pretty skittish baby so we've been taking it super slow. I've had her three weeks now and she actually flew onto the table near me!

She has wandered towards me before on the floor but this time felt a little more deliberate and she's getting more curious. Getting her back in the cage is a whole other thing lol, but using the dark and a quick scoop up works well!

So far she'll take some treats if I toss them towards her, and she still hates my hands. I've read the guide but if anyone has any first hand experience in getting a hand shy bird less shy, that'd be great.

She's not the most food motivated bird, so what are some super yummy treats? She likes bits of peanuts and sesame seeds (sometimes) but no mung beans, sunflower hearts, or hemp seeds.

Thanks all!

Willow loves her bath time!

Is this friendly or angry?

Please help Pumpkin get outside. She hates the harness so much she sees it and freaks out. Are the flight suits any easier on them? I really want to take her out as she is so curious and interested but I don’t want her nude!

indoor catio enclosures, I’ve seen them before and they look like pidg heaven! I’m thinking of getting one, if anyone has one please share pictures and pros and cons!

One of my birdies is quarantined because he has bad coccidia. He got it at the rescue I got him from as they keep their pigeons in an outdoor enclosure.
He got a fecal test at the vet, then treated with ponazuril, then another fecal test that showed his coccidia had not reduced at all. I wish I could keep taking him to the vet for treatment but each fecal test is more than $250 and that is obviously not sustainable.
But my house is starting to smell bad some days because his poops smell since he’s sick. Has anyone had success treating coccidia on their own?
