If ever there was an animal many should reconcider getting to know, it's a pigeon. This is my beloved baby of all time. I raised him from hatchling days when he fell from his nest. Fed him with a syringe and warm crushed cereal and even taught him to fly. He's went through various turmoils in life but he still keeps kicking. He's been attacked by a hawk, slashed by our cat, and slammed in a door (all accidents of course x_x). He still keeps on pushing without a care in the world.

Yeah, they all have their own little habits I suppose.
Her mate had a broken wing that set badly and he was the complete opposite of her. Not scared of people but certainly not tame either. He was an evil tempered old bird. He'd peck the hell out of anyone who tried to put their hand near his shelf in the garage. I've know pigeons to peck if you invade their space but this one would attack people mercilessly as if they were just another pigeon.

I am a massive pigeon fan. I used to think them horrible, stinking, stupid creatures, then I actually payed attention to them. My first bird was a feral called Grace, my current is a racing homer called Mr Condor and I am currently raising a tiny baby bird, too. I want to call him Carpediem for some reason.
Not sure why. :E
Not sure why. :E
awwww how sweet! It isn't very often to find others who have/had pigeons as well. They are such awsome birds. This is a reason why I made my own pigeon fursona. They deserve much credit for what they are. <333
If ever you upload photos I'd love to see them ^__^

Maybe! I want to take a video of how the Condor fights. He's a very funny bird, comes down to play--but he likes to wrestle. He'll do it for ages, until he's so tired out he can barely flick his wing at me. It's not just territorial, because he's happy to calm down and sit quietly for me too.
:E I love my vishus pijin.

I did raise babies found in the street too. I was very surprised how much pigeon is dedicated to his human mate. I love petting them in the neck while they peak to request more. Thank to take care of this pigeon, most of people think they are dangerous because of diseases and do not even bother to help pigeons in need.
Yeah, that was the situation we had with this guy. We tried calling many places like animal control, ASPCA, and other places. No one wanted him or flat out said "let him die" because he's a common animal. Obviously I didn't take that answer and took it upon myself to try caring for him. It worked. Even today he's still around :D
