    Crows

    I have had problems with crows nesting in a nearby tree. They would dive bomb at the pigeons, but didn't catch any. Got the .22 out, problem solved
  13. What is the best way to stop pigeons breeding without separating them?
  14. Ok everyone thanks for the feedback
  15. At what stage would you take young away from there parents? I have a pair who have laid there 2nd round of eggs but the 1st round chicks are still in the nest box and its a bit crowded.
  16. I've just never really noticed this in any of my other youngsters!
  17. I have a baby pigeon about 2 weeks old. I noticed it was very small and not really growing. I just had a look at it and its crop is bulging full of whole corn. Is there anything I can do?
  18. How many times a day should you take pigeons training 1 or 2?

  20. Does anyone know where i can buy heart shaped baskets in the UK?
  21. Could be possibility i'm going to sit and watch then to see who goes in the nestbox
  22. I have just checked one of my nests of my white pigeons and there is 3 eggs in it. Is it possible 2 hens have paired up? Should I just leave them for a few days and then candle them to see if there is anything in them?
  23. Does this really work?
  24. My next door neighbour likes to feed the wild birds and always has bread out for them. How do i stop my pigeons from landing in his garden and eating the bread? Do i keep scaring them away like you do when they land on the roof?
  25. So, i've kept them in today and gave them an ounce of corn each. Do i let them back out tomorrow?
