This pigeon has been around my house's roof recently. Sorry the picture's so blurry, the pigeon gets scared if I go to close.
There's random yellow bumps all over its head, feet and around its mouth. Does anyone know what this is? And is there anything I could do to help the pigeon? It's kinda just sitting outside my window shaking and occasionally squawking
Hi guys! I'm looking to adopt a dove and was wondering if anyone knew of any places in Ohio I could adopt from. I'm around Athens for college and Clermont County.
ive only heard a lot about how things that are bad for parrots are ok for pigeons, but whats bad for pigeons?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. My partner Holly created this pigeon on her sewing machine. If you can offer any advice on how to sell it I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Andy
My stepfather raised and later raced pigeons his whole life in NY. Once we had a bird come in 2nd in a big race, but it went "missing" from the trainer after the race. Eventually it "showed up" and we got the bird back. Sometimes I think someone paid to get a hold of the bird to breed it. Has anyone heard of anything like this happening?
Some wild pigeons laid eggs in our balcony which my wife wanted to me to relocate, I was against the idea but after a bit of nagging from her, I conceded and relocated them to another smaller balcony we have expecting the pigeons to not hang around our main, front balcony (I really hope this makes sense)
Then, my wife felt bad for the mother pigeon who was looking around for her last eggs and asked me to put them back. But, when I went to retrieve the eggs the sunlight had reached one of the eggs (there were 2 eggs and the other one was fine) and had made it really hot, it's like 30-35C here, the egg was there for about 1-2 hours and was about 2-3 days old.
Is the egg infertile now? Did I kill a pigeon baby?
Me and my Band Ambrosius made a song about pigeons being robots controlled by the government check it out!
I couldn’t understand why the water was getting so dirty with an oily layer on top, guess it’s no longer just for drinking 😂
The pigeon was just laying down with its tail feathers in the air so I knew something was wrong. It flew just fine but anytime it lands it can’t walk and topples over. The tail feathers look somewhat crooked. Anyone have any idea what’s going on with it? I can’t find a wildlife sanctuary or veterinarian to even look at it.

This lovely being doesn’t want to leave my porch, is he/she okay? I don’t see any visible signs of trauma. It is raining and very cold here so maybe just seeking shelter? Anything I should do for them?
I work in a horse barn, the owner absolutely despises pigeons in the barn, there is a mated pair of pigeons (feral, rock) currently building a nest in the barn, I’ve just been informed the barn owner intends to kill both the mates and destroy the nest soon.
I’ve been doing some research on relocating and capturing pigeons as I’ve really fallen in love with this pair, unfortunately I cannot keep them as pets BUT I could make them a nesting area on my balcony where they can safely nest and have food and water provided. All I’ve seen so far is that relocating pigeons is basically impossible due to their homing ability, however I’m curious if anyone knows how it would go if I moved both mates and the nest?
Would both pigeons just return to the barn together? Would they even care that I brought the nest?
I really want to avoid them being shot but I also don’t want to attempt to move them if it will only cause severe stress and they will just end up returning and being shot anyways, can I do anything to save these two? :(

There are a bunch of ring neck doves that hang out around my apartment complex. They are so sweet and once in a while a dove will come coo at my window sill and hang out for a minute before flying away. I started leaving out some sunflower seeds on the windowsill for them and put a bird feeder outside on a tree but any advice on how to befriend them? Is there a specific food they like or perch they enjoy? I am committed to earning the trust of this flock of doves haha all advice is welcome
