I have about 30 pigeons and have lost a few one having the head tilt and flying into walls. Mostly all my babies have been dying. Where do you purchase the vaccine that u use? I want to start vaccinating asap. And how much and how often do you add the apple cider vinegar in there water?

@guywiththepinkgun

You wouldn’t vaccinate until about 30 days so if the babies aren’t making it that far no bueno. What kind of feed are you currently using? Cider is 1TBS per gallon 2 times per week!

@@guywiththepinkgun I'm using Browns premium pigeon food and I mix in sunflower seeds as well. 1 of the babies that died had a head tilt at about 2 months, 2 other babies that were mabey a month old died and had full a full gullet. Still whole food. I have never had a problem with that before now. I have only had 1 adult die did not show neurological signs so not sure on that one.

Would love to get pictures of loft set up to you. Not sure where to send pics, will not let me attach to this thread for some reason.

Regardless of your level of expertise in pigeons, it opens the door for discussion. I learn just as much from the comments.

Knowledge is power, thank you for sharing your knowledge. My birds kick the nest bowls out as well. I take a drywall screw and I put a screw in the wood in front of the nest bowl to hold the bowl in place.

hello i have a pet pigeon i developed a bad cough from as indoor pet. i built a cage by my window and lookig to get her a friend. with her being alone or with one other bird should i worry about her catching diseases or is it when you have a loft with many birds who fly free? shes a pet who doesnt fly.

COOL video👍👍👍

Where could I get cages like the white and green ones in the beginning of the video

What prevent them from getting that sickness? Where they neck bent back? And they cant stand up? I hate see them sick like that.. sometime they recover from it

I appreciate the videos, but would add that emphasizing the absolute need for grit be noted, as well as a 2-inch front for the nests to prevent babies from being pushed out, or inadvertently crawling out and falling to the floor. Adding a landing board in front also would be beneficial. Again, though, your discussion of the medicines is helpful.

I would recommend lining the bottom of the cages with something like wood or maybe newspapers since those types of cage floors are bad for the pigeons feet. Otherwise interesting video :)

Culling the bird for sure. It it is a really nice bird quarantine and see if it can make it.. but its typically really hard on them.

I'm almost afraid to jump in here. I know what a pigeon looks like. ...and there you have the extent of my pigeon knowledge. My husband, who is fighting advanced cancer, was given 8 pigeons. Now, along with caring for husband, 14 chickens, 3 pygmy goats, 2 dogs, 5 cats ... I need info on caring for pigeons. Basics. VERY basic. We have 1 male and 7 females ... I think. How do you tell? How often for ACV? Can someone point me to somewhere I can learn? I'm not finding very many helpful YT videos. I'd appreciate the help very much.
