Letting your pigeons out side

[RoosterBoy]

I kept a few pigeons in side this summer, I set up a breeding pen, I am ready to return them to the flypen, its cold outside, I was wondering if the rapid change could make the pigeons sick ? My dad wants all of the pigeon out of the house. I am afraid because the temp is below freezing in the morning. Should I worry ? I will read any suggestions you might add. Thanks Jason...

PUT A BATH OUT IN THE COLD WEATHER AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS THEM , THEY LOVE IT

Pigeons are a lot happier than us in the cold weather. What bit of usa do you live in as it can be a tad colder than the UK?

We are going through a very cold snap in my part of the USA, and I am keeping my pigeons on lock down, not because of the cold,because of the Hawks they are migrating south this time of the year and with this cold weather there is very little ground prey out for them, I would think twice Roosterboy.

Mine have an aviary they can sit in, and they seem to prefer to be outdoors in most weather, so the cold will not affect them.

Mine are always in the avaries, I've seen them sat out in a blizzard and suffered no harm, but at the moment I have to keep them locked in as I had 3 cooper hawks divebombing the aviaries yesterday
