Babybird

Thank You, that means they can keep the names I have given them, wasnt sure if David was a Davina!!!! ;D ;D

:)I have 3 yb's and am wondering what sex they are. Someone told me recently that you can tell by the head shape but unfortunately can't remember which way round it was?????. Two of my birds have a rounded head compared with the flatter head of the other one can anyone shed some light for me?

Oh, thanks, hopefully mine won't go missing then

why is that then? :-/

Duncans pig is fine, still getting oinked around all over the place. Sunday will be great although JJ has a birthday party in the village at 11 am x

Thanks, great photos, Hope you are both well and that you come and see us all soon

Thanks Jimmy, how do I get them hungry tho? just not feed them for a few days or just give them a little every day?

Eurghhh nae taste!! Sorry I have nothing productive to add

Got them from Chrissy and Tammy ,don't know about the parents tho. Will give the above a go, maybe my fault for not wanting to stress them out /push them as I have only had them for a week. They wont eat peanuts in their feed tray,I have tried a couple of times but they just leave them

looking for some tips on how to get my YB's tame, I am in and out 4/5 times a day but they still seem pretty scared of me. They wont take feed from my hand and wont eat/drink when I am in there. Am I doing something wrong?

Well done Malcolm

Good on you lads, us nurses appreciate the kind words!! Put me down for a monetary donation, let me know when you get the account up and running

Just cancelled mine, last payment taken 22nd June, oh well got in by the skin of my teeth but not paying them another penny!!! woop woop

Well they came back in when I called them this morning, but a sleepless night for me!! How do you go about keeping them hungry without feeling like you are going to starve them? They get fed an ounce each per day divided into two, one half in the morning and one half in the evening. Yesterday for their maiden flight out I gave them half of their half in the morning but that was all. How do you judge how hungry they are?how long do you keep them hungry before they get out as when they come in they get fed, how long does it take for them to digest the food they already have on board? Any suggestions? at least they didnt just fly off into the sunset and they waited for me this morning. They dont have to be expert trappers as I am going to use them for a release business but that was taking the mickey lastnight!!!

O.k will keep you posted

so what is gonna happen? they gonna sit there all night? Still be there in the morning and come in when they are really hungry?

How do I get them off the roof and in their loft? They are sitting on the garage roof and wont go in. Everytime I scare them off the roof they go for a fly to another roof and so on, Help!! First time out, first time pigeon keeper, they are hungry,one came in but the other two wont!!

Thanks, that makes sense

thanks, but how long can they stay inside ? is there any age limit to which they have to be out and about by?

Is there any age limit on letting yb's out? I have had three in a hutch for the last 4 days and now they are in their lovely new home, was wondering how long to keep them in there before letting them out for the first time? gettig more this week so should Ijust wait until they are all ready to go out or will that be too long for the first ones to wait?

:) :) :)

Lucky there was only one bowl picture, I wouldn't have known which one you were talking about!!!

Oh well looks like I be supplying all the East Lothian hawks, you won't have to worry!! I did like the black one, maybe I could do a funeral line in black birds LOL

A big thank you to Tammy and Chrissy for my new whites, they are so pretty. They arrived safe and well this morning, let the fun begin...... Got them Delivered by Dave from UK pigeon couriers who I might like to add was lovely and so helpful. All in all a great first pigeon purchasing experience :)
