Pigeon food

Will be feeding my homing pigeons a mixture of wheat, chicken feed and maize. Hope it is enough as a balanced staple food ;-)





Then I worry about the loft later......

New Venture - homing pigeons

Well, it just wouldn't be me if I don't give racing pigeon a try :-D

So, here they are, my first 2 pairs of white homing pigeons. Very beautiful birds. Received them this morning via the express bus.
Actually its for a friend, but I would house them at home and make a 4' X 5' loft for them.
Never flew before according to their breeder...... so, can start training in a couple of months when they settle down ;-)

Shama pair no. 1

Just my luck that when I move this pair out, an egg was laid. For a long time when I did not disturb them, they did not produce. Have to choose during a molt to produce.... sigh!
Anyway, as with most first timers, I take a little consolation that the eggs may not be fertile (and proven with no activity in the incubator).
Thinking of getting a new incubator, but the seller is avoiding me like the plaque. Can't for the life of me understand why. The friend I recommend to buy from him just yesterday manage to get him on the phone at the first ring.... maybe my money not "halal" hahaha!

Socialising a dove

Out there, a dove may meet a lot of obstacles, therefore it seems a good idea to socialise it well to many types of environment e.g. a cloths line :-D
Passed my balancing act, passed my foraging on the grass test and passed my quickly walk away from humans test ;-)
This bird is ready for the wild yonder......
