You probably are not a stranger to the sight of pigeons flying around. Believe it or not, pigeons are one of the most intelligent birds. Their intelligence is partly because of the sounds and noises they make to communicate. But what sounds do pigeons make?
Cooing and grunting are the most common sounds pigeons make. Baby pigeons squeak and whistle when they need something from a parent, and hiss if they feel threatened by a predator. In addition, pigeons make noises with their wings and feet before takeoff and during flight.
The sounds pigeons make are pretty interesting and give a wonderful insight into how the bird species adapts to various situations. Here’s a thorough dive into the seven sounds and noises pigeons make.
The most familiar noise pigeons make is the cooing sound. You undoubtedly have heard a cooing pigeon, but have you wondered why they make the common sound?
They can use cooing for many reasons, including communicating with other pigeons, mating, and if they need to defend their territory.
Pigeon's breed throughout the year, so you can hear cooing sounds year-round. While you may listen to the sounds most in the summer, it’s only because the temperatures are warmer for pigeons to be out and about.
Pigeons will breed up to eight times a year, laying anywhere from 1 to 3 eggs each time. Pigeons can reuse the same nest and may just add new sticks and branches to ensure the nest is sturdy.
As a fun fact, pigeons' mate for life, so they are set forever once their cooing woos in another pigeon. Ah, true love. However, they will try to find a new mate if their original partner dies.
Here’s another interesting tidbit about pigeons. If two females cannot find mates, they will pair up together. While the eggs they lay are infertile, it allows them to have a mate still.
While pigeons coo to find a mate, they also coo as a sign of affection once they have found one. The coos made for love are softer, elongated, and much more relaxed than other signs a pigeon may coo.
In addition, a pigeon may coo as a human approach because they see you as a potential threat.

Hello there, My name is Mike and live in Az, I had racing pigeons when I was young and now Im not young haha 61, Semi retired and determined to move to a place where I can fly birds again, want to get my grandkids involved. Anyway as a kid I flew some Sions and really enjoyed your website. When Im ready would love to get a few Sions again and see how they do. Any advice for an old newbie? lol
Hey Donnie, Saw your Birds on Ipigeon and must say, those are some Beautiful Heitzmans. They are very true to what I called the real thing. Beautiful Hansennes as well. Take Care, Chuck
Hi
I have placed the pigeon recieved from you recently in a priority express shipment back to you in same box recieved. Bird was beautiful and healthy but we realized it’s nature is such that it needs to fly and be a racing pigeon. We can’t offer that life to it and realize it was a mistake to try this based on our situation
Bird has had not been outside and has been confined indoors in isolation since recieved.
Please give it the home it deserves.
Appreciate the care you took getting it to us!!!
Need some color on my team. Had some sion couple years ago when i had a partner who sick and could not care for his own birds. He liked sions so i bought some from you on pigeonauction.com. We alot of fun his sions against my team .He has since past on. His family called me and thanked me for letting fly with me he really looked forward race day. HE WON EVERY WEEK
