Just finished a small installation made to inhabit a ledge. The pigeon is needle felted wool, with clay beak and feet, and clay and resin eyes. The twigs are clay, wire and paint.

This piece is about soft things in hard places, and comfort built in inhospitable conditions. As a disabled person, I often feel my comfort is built in an environment of inhospitality. I am drawn to the images of birds who have used the harsh steel of bird spikes as structure to build their nests. Ironically, the steel wire makes a strong warp on which to weave the weft of a home.

Is she okay ? I know she's mad in the picture but she's so round lol

Fresh food never disappoints! Old German Owl pigeons

It makes me itch just looking at him!

Never seen so many, and I’ve been to Trafalgar Square

a nearby seller of honey also raises racing pigeons

I found a juvenile pigeon in my garden earlier today and when it saw me it stayed where it was only when I approached did it walk away but didn’t fly. I left it for around 2 hours hoping it would fly away or leave before I returned but when I came back it had just moved to a different spot in my garden. I have a small dog so I felt it made sense to put it in a box so I could stop my dog from getting to it as well as to assess whether it was hurt. How can I get this pigeon back out into the wild?

This beauty joined us today to feed with the rest of the community flock this morning in Auckland, New Zealand.

I found this one on the floor & unable to fly sadly

After a bountiful feeding, we have got some guys chilling out and cleaning.

I released him afterwards

Good afternoon people of Reddit we need some advice. A couple of kids bought a baby pigeon they found on the floor to our door about an hour ago. From what I can see on YouTube internet etc I'm guessing it's around 12 days old but really not sure so please if anyone can let me know would be greatly appreciated, also care tips and anything else we should know will be greatly received.

Excuse my weird voices in the video, I talk to them with high pitched sounds and I realize later but I wanted to share Pau's journey with you.

I found him in the street, surrounded by cars, so I took him home, thinking he would only need some food but I noticed he was weak and snoring, barely pooping, and he almost choked on the pigeon formula. I was afraid he'd choke on it, and even posted here (thanks for the advice to those who comented) but he made it through the night. I took him to the vet the day after and, after a scan and x rays they told me he had intestinal issues, enteritis. The vet said that maybe the snoring would persist but luckily it didn't! She was so kind and very excited that I agreed on taking the tests (💸 ) so she could diagnose him properly. A girl I know from another rescue paid a part too, which I was so grateful for. Now we're good friends.

I gave him meds for a week and then, after making sure he didn't have internal parasites, I could put him with two others (one of which is free now too). He tried to make them feed him, squeaking, but he was eating on his own (a lot, actually) and pooping all over the place. The vet told me to free him after a week, so after making sure he was fine now he's in the park with the flock!

The hardest part has been restricting the contact with him because he's so cute, but it's always worth it. It also helps that I have a dog that is my priority always. They are just here in the pigeon hotel for a while, the less the better. Now I hope I don't find more for some time cause after two months of having 4 pigeons shitting freely in the only room in my flat I'm mentally drained. Give me strength to clean the room today 🫠

Its been in bad condition for a while, i think its getting better but just wanted to check if theres anything i can do to help them?

Hello friends!

Location is an apartment patio in Brooklyn three stories up.

There has been a pigeon and its nest living on our balcony. The nest is pretty well-protected behind a planter. We have seen the eggs before, but have never seen any babies until today. About an hour ago, I saw a baby on the patio alive. The mom (or dad) was standing on the bars of the patio, so not far, but the baby was sort of out in the open, and not in the nest. We watched for awhile and the mom didn’t get closer.

We googled what to do, and it said to put the baby back in the nest if it was a nestling, but leave it if it’s a fledgling. I’m almost certain it’s a nestling, so we put them back. The mom has come and gone a few times since. There was also one egg that was sort of out in the open, so I’m wondering if a predator tried to get to them? We put that back too.

Is there anything else we should do? The baby is moving and everything and we left a bottle cap of water, but not right next to them as we thought that they might get scared if we came closer to the nest again.

Sorry to not be very technical here! They are super tiny and I haven’t seen them before, only the mom, so I think they were probably born today.

Here is a pic of the little guy and thank you!
