If you have eliminated disease then you need to look for signs of a night visitor.

It could be fox, rat or mice disturbing their sleep.

Have you been to a vet? What have you treated for? Could it be respiratory problem? Bacterial problem? Or if you have treat with antibiotics could it be fungal infection? Does the loft have an odour?

Some old timers used to say 'Just send the 10 miles up the road'.

Old hat. The pigeons are showing you, speaking to you so to speak. Saying were aren't right.

Could very well be toxins in the blood and REST is what they are after.

If that is the case then the last thing that they need is exercise. JMO and experience.

Putting a health problem aside, dodgy maize or oil put on their feed could be rancid.
