whats the best way to pair up pigeons mine are not pairing

are van reets hard to pair or not also garden doves

[blaz]

put the cock and hen in a secsion on their own .let them get on with it for a day or 2 . the birds will soon pair . van reets are same as any other pigeons when it comes to pairing

[just ask me]

if u separate them for two weeks if possible i mean cocks and hens I'm not sure what u are feeding but id put them on a lighter feed too hens are not great too pair when they are too heavy wheatgerm oil also helps if u let us know a little about your feeding set up I'm sure u will answers that u require hard to answer as we need a little info

no the cock will cause to much damage to the hen that's why i said a secsion . the hen needs a bit space to get out his road. it is unlikely to scalp the hen .as i have done this on a number of occasions myself with out any bad damage to the hen . or if both birds are flying in and out let both out together on their own. for a few days .

not at all just upturn the nest pan  it gives the hen  a way of getting out of reach of the cock or even a brick make sure your birds have been seperated before pairing up it makes it much easier
