Hi, Yes, I am in Australia. Our male pigeon hasn't showed any signs of pairing up with her yet, I mean the puffing of the chest and the noise etc. I'll feel very stupid if our new "hen" bird turns out to be a cock!

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not stressing about getting her to breed straight away, we just wanted a companion for the male we currently have. We looked after him when he was found injured and he has stayed about the place ever since.

Hi all, We have one pigeon, and were just given one by a friend because we would like to attempt to breed some birds. Can anyone tell me how long I need to keep the new pigeon locked up for to stop her returning home? Many thanks in advance.
