Another fact that will soften your feelings toward these creatures: Pigeons mate for life.
Unless a mate dies or has a fertility problem, nothing will separate between two pigeon mates. They don’t say lovey-dovey for nothing.
All birds have unique mating rituals and pigeons are no different: Once the male pigeon has shown interest in a certain female, may the games begin! The pigeon struts and marches in an arrogant manner until he piques the interest of the female he fancies. Once they become “acquainted” the female invites him to mate. Afterwards the couple choose a (probably hard surfaced) location for their nest and build it together.
Once the female lays her eggs, the couple take turns in the whole breeding process. One day the female hatches and the next day is relieved by the male so she can eat, drink and rest.
Once the little ones come around, and they grow up fast, the parents are constantly on call. They feed their babies with “pigeon milk,” a white liquid secreted from their parent’s throats. Later, the nourishment turns into the form of partially digested foods ingested by the parents.
Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
