Doves and Pigeons

The Victoria Crowned Pigeon is blue-grey in color.

I'm pretty sure that they trained them to go towards certain colors and if they can do that they see colors like us.

P.S. I'm not positive about it though

Pigeon Grade, as used in firearms, specifically shotguns, is a term for a higher level of fit and finish - both mechanically and appearance wise for a limited number of guns. Pigeon grade guns are more valuable than regular production guns or Sporting guns. Recently some manufacturers have further subdivided into categories such as Silver Pigeon, Gold Pigeon, Onyx, etc. Pigeon grade guns will carry, often, more engraving, better wood (though there are again levels of wood, the best being "exhibition" wood), gold inlay, wood carving, etc. Some, at least a pre-war Winchester Model 12, will have an engraved pigeon near the serial number. Wood grade is not indicated by any markings, but by visualization. A greatly valuable combo would be an unfired pigeon grade gun with exhibition grade wood.

No, they stay were they live.

Yes, but they would prefer the pellets. It's been studied, and for whatever reason, pigeons prefer to eat larger items. Layer feed alone would not be an ideal diet because of its excessive amount of protein and calcium. I feed my homing pigeons a mix of whole corn, layer pellets, bird seed, sunflower seed, etc. I use whatever's available and on sale, blended to about 13% protein. Here's the National Pigeon Association's website that discusses what a pigeon's diet should look like: http://www.npausa.com/keeping/feeding.htm

Some say by intelligent design, others say evolution... you decide.

In Torrevieja, Spain, you can go clay pigeon shooting at the "Club de Tiro Torrevieja," which offers facilities for various shooting sports, including clay shooting. This club provides a safe environment with trained instructors and equipment rental options for beginners and experienced shooters alike. It's advisable to check their schedule and book in advance, as availability may vary.

Pigeons normally lay two eggs.

It could have bad results. Vitamin b12 is recommended.

Herpes in pigeons, specifically pigeon herpesvirus (PHV), primarily spreads through direct contact between infected and healthy birds. It can also be transmitted via contaminated environments, such as feeders, water sources, or nesting areas. Infected birds may shed the virus in their saliva, feces, or respiratory secretions, facilitating further spread among the flock. Additionally, stress and poor living conditions can exacerbate the likelihood of transmission.

Pigeons played a vital part in World War One as they proved to be an extremely reliable way of sending messages. Such was the importance of pigeons that over 100,000 were used in the war with an astonishing success rate of 95% getting through to their destination with their message. Pigeons were used extensively in World War One. Man-made communication systems were still crude and unreliable, so dogs and pigeons were used. Pigeons would have been found just about anywhere on the Western Front. At the First Battle of the Marne in 1914, French troops stopped the German advance on Paris.

They don't unless they found a dead pigeon.

There is not a single country banning pigeons.

Pigeons decide to make pigeon holes because they need a place to live that is away from rain and wind where they can lay eggs and raise their young. This allows them to do that.

Yes and no. Pigeons are birds, and birds do not provide the same sort of milk for their young as mammals do. Some birds are fed on special secretions from the parent birds' crop, and these may even be called crop milk, but it is not milk in the true "mammalian" sense of the word. It is not produced in mammary glands.

The production of the milk is controlled by prolactin, which is the same hormone that begins milk production in mammals, and is released from the pituitary gland. The lining of the crop sloughs off fluid-filled cells containing more fat and protein than cows' milk, as well as minerals and antibodies, forming a nutritious milk-like substance known as crop milk. Both males and females produce this liquid.

Birds which feed their young with "crop milk" include pigeons, doves and flamingos.

The only animals that truly feed their young on milk are mammals. Only mammals have mammary glands, which are necessary to produce milk.

Don't kill the poor birds! Make your home less pigeon friendly. Dry up any standing water that may be attracting animals, including pigeons. Remove any food that the pigeons may be eating. If the population of pigeons is high, there's most likely a good reason for that to be the case.

Pigeons do not eat rabbits because they are too small.

Feral pigeons were not introduced to Australia as a wild species. Rather, today's ferals are escaped domestic pigeons which have gone wild, and been highly successful.

Pigeons have been popular as domestic animals since ancient times and would have arrived with the colonists. They are used as homing pigeons, racing pigeons, and for pigeon racing, and collected by breeders and pigeon fanciers, as well as pets. It would only have taken a few that escaped or were abandoned to establish feral populations. There are few predators to reduce their numbers in the wild.

Feral pigeons are common in most Australian cities. They flourish around human habitation because our buildings provide roosts similar to their ancestral roosts in rocky cliffs. we also provide food sources. Thus, feral pigeons are well established across Australia.
