They're the most gentle loving creatures when kept as pets. My dad's pet pigoen died after he passed away. She looked for him all over the house. When she couldn't find him, she climbed on the bed and slept on his pillow. Few hours later, she was gone. They're loyal to death, literally so.

They’re also not NEARLY as loud as domestic parrots. Their coos are fairly soft and quiet compared to the Demon screeches of macaws, parrots, and parakeets.
Pigeons are like the rats of sky. They're always seen as being gross pests, but in reality they're extremely great pets, both of them being clean, fun, affectionate, smart, adorable, etc. I love seeing "trash" animals getting the love they deserve.

This reminds me of a story when there was a graduation ceremony and one of the white pigeons released didn’t come back to the school. Instead it found its way into my yard where it approached my mother, she would put seeds out for her, and soon the pigeon was a regular and would sit under my moms chair. The white pigeon one day brought back a mate to show my mom. The two pigeons eventually moved on, being married for life.
That's so cute! I have a similar story from when I lived with my grandpa (rip). We had a lot of small birds (and magpies and crows), but the small ones were the majority. There was one in particular that got very cheeky. A great tit. He'd (I'm assuming based on the chest stripe being broader, which is their "gender difference") sit at the kitchen sink window and peck at it to get your attention so you'd give him a treat (big fan of cheese that one). If you weren't in the kitchen, he'd make his way down the windows along the porch until he found someone. He was the 2nd wild bird that I ever handfed (he'd land on my hand at either sit and eat, or take it ans leave). The first was an Eurasian blue tit that my grandpa had a similar friendahip with years earlier. One day he did bring his kids (maybe also the mom), and it was so adorable.
I’m hand raising a 6 day old baby pigeon at the moment. All of the other babies died so the guy sent the last living baby for me to attempt to save, so far it’s going well! Baby is eating well and growing fast!
Thanks! He (not sure yet but I’m going with HE) is still doing great, growing so fast! I moved him into his big cage a couple days ago but he’s out with me a lot during the day. He’s eating seeds and tiny pellet food on his own now and I’m feeding him peas and corn too, off the formula completely as of two days ago!💖🕊️

My uncle rescued 3 injured pigeons and when he tried to release them back into the wild, they refused to leave his side so he decided to adopt them and got them a large, beautiful bird cage which he kept inside his garden house and he'd let one of them sit on his shoulder whenever he was tending to his plants. He loves those pigeons and the pigeons love him.
Pigeons are animals who create strong bonds... I have a pigeon loft with lots of them.. You can just keep a pigeon somewhere for a couple weeks with proper care, feeding and shelter and it'll make it it's home and most likely won't ever leave
You left out one of the biggest differences: THEY AREN'T LOUD! Parrots YELL. They SCREECH. If you can't do noise, or if you live in a situation where noise is not tolerated, but still want a bird, pigeons and doves are perfect.
When I was a child my mother took in an injured pigeon and treated it's broken wing. She kept the wing splinted for a few weeks and when she removed the splint kept the bird in a cage for a day just so it could get used to the feeling of the bare wing without attempting to fly and re-injure the it. I swear that bird often visited us once she released it. My brother kept homing pigeons when I was a teen. He really loved those birds. This has me wanting one now. 😏
Worked at a ice cream shop where we made our own waffle cones, and we would save the broken bits in a tub labeled "for Bartholomew" Bartholomew was a pigeon that came to us in the back alley for help after being attacked by a cat and had all his tail feathers ripped out. He was so patient and sweet, always on time to get his snacks before hiding for the day. He eventually healed enough to make it out on his own, but we would catch glimpses of him stopping by for a quick "coo" E: can't believe I forgot to clarify I took it upon myself to feed him millet and sunflower after a couple of weeks of visitation, when he made it obvious he was there to stay (for the short run) 🥴
i worked in a seafront ice cream place and we had a regular pigeon with one foot called stumpy - he also enjoyed the occasional snack and came by every day at around 5pm
Pigeons are social animals and are not naturally afraid of humans, unlike other animals. They are very quiet too, even the sound they make is not loud. Getting them to trust you is exceptionally easy. The pigeon's proper name is Rock Dove.
I live in a downtown area and have the most beautiful flock of pigeons that live in the big building down the street. There's a few that are almost as white as a doves with cream colored patches. When it's raining or snowing they make walking the Dog so much more enjoyable because they're so tranquil and beautiful to watch especially on a quiet afternoon or early morning!
When I was a kid, we found a pigeon trapped under a large rock. We took it home and nursed it back to health. Became a wonderful pet that bonded with my dad and spent his time following him everywhere. Sweet, sweet, pet.
Yep. I’m considering getting a pigeon cuz a parrot is too loud for my household and definitely requires a bit more attention/effort. But I do still love parrots.
My parents hate pigeons (the wild ones) and I somewhat agree with them. I do believe if you train/love and nurture a pigeon enough that they will make great pets! I’ve handled a few fancy pigeons before and they were pretty pleasant to be around 😊
Wild ones only flock around humans eating cause they're smart enough to remember and recognize the paterns of people occasionally throwing them a morsel, so they keep coming back A monster of our own creation, but most just blame the animal for seizing the best opportunity to survive and thrive We, as a species do much worse on the daily to achieve the same
@@439801RSExactly, they are just trying to survive after their homes were taken from them. The ones living in the city aren't as clean but it's only because cities are disgusting and there's not much places for them to safely hide and sleep.
Also: whereas larger parrots can live upwards of 40-60 years, pigeons have about the same lifespan of a cat at 15. You'll worry less about making a near lifelong commitment. Another thing: pigeons are quiet. If you live in an apartment, your neighbors won't even know you have a bird. And: pigeons are very cute. ❤
I have nothing against them, but pigeons are not quiet. I can't compare to other pet birds but i have some experience with domesticated pigeons and those mfs are vocal af
@@cookienoodles True, that can be a pro or a con I guess. Like me for example, I'm still young, have no idea what my life is going to look like in 35+ years, and I wouldn't want to risk having to rehome a parrot because I couldn't forsee major lifestyle changes. BUT if I had a pretty good idea of what I'd be doing up until the bird's death, the long lifespan would be great.
Once i raised a baby pigeon when she was grew up she always follows me wherever i went ❤and always kissing my fingers❤then she becomes sick and died RIP
we used to have this lovely pair of pigeons visit our balcony. we called them mr and mrs because they took care of each so much. they would sit quietly, wait for a feed and just be so calm and relaxed with us. when it rained, they used our balcony for shelter and protected each other. they brought their little ones until the little ones were old enough to 'leave the nest' so to speak. mr and mrs were such lovely pigeons, i'll never forget them.
nah.most house cats aren't even domesticated.(you can't fact check if you're doubting me) the only domesticated cats are the very modern breeds that's quite expensive
it's true, pigeons were first domesticated nearly 10,000 years ago. however they were originally for eating, not necessarily as pets. Then we found out about their homing instincts and used them for mail!
Last summer a stray pigeon randomly showed up at my house on our truck (we live in a more rural suburb) and seemed to immediately get attached to me. It would constantly follow me around as I did yard chores and would try and hop up on me if I knelt down. If I went back inside it’d go back to the truck. If I came out, it’d fly back towards me. It was… strangely endearing. I wish I took it in now. I didn’t at the time because we’ve got cats and dogs and I had no clue if this bird was already someone’s pet or where to even begin in terms of pigeon care. So I just gave it some seed and left it outside, looked for any missing pigeon notices online. My mom eventually needed to use the truck and slowly drove until the pigeon flew off. A couple days later, I find a bunch of familiar colored feathers and a severed bird leg in the backyard. I’m confident it was that bird since I haven’t seen it around all through winter. I’m still bummed about it.
My mom and I rescued a baby pigeon when I was little. I think it's leg was broken. We set it free when it grew up and could fly. Some weeks later, we saw the same one again on a roof, snuggled up with a new friend
Oh that's so sweet 😭😭 I remember when I was about 7, my mom's friend found a baby pigeon that had an injury and couldn't fly back to it's parents, so she picked it up and put it in a little box and brought it home. I was younger then so I cannot remember what else happened clearly
Definitely easily entertained 😂 I've got 5 doves (practically the same as pigeons haha) and their favorite thing in the world is shredded newspaper and a good bath now and then
Me and my family used to have a dove and a few pigeons, we found the dove in our backyard with an injured wing because someone shot it, and my family decided to adopt pigeons so the dove wasn't lonely, unfortunately the dove passed away 2 year ago and the pigeons were released due to food aggression
I had doves growing up. They were legitimately the sweetest little peas! Now I have a nesting pair of mourning doves on my balcony and I get to see them raise their little babies every season! Every time I see pigeons I get so happy. They’re all very, very sweet and often under-appreciated animals!
I had the pleasure of getting to know a pigeon that my birth mom had. He took to me almost immediately when I stayed with her for a few days, and he was my absolute best friend the entire time. Wanted to snuggle against me, play with me, and be in my business constantly. Whatever I was doing, he wanted to be a part of it. Such a bright little soul! A real character. They're lovely birds.
ik this is prolly gonna sound dumb af but when I used to have budgie birds as pets, they shit like a lot so I'm genuinely curious. do pigeons shit a lot too? lmao cuz bird's poop is a lil hard to clean from surfaces that aren't smooth, like bed sheets an all. but still, I love pigeons and I think that out of all the pets I've done research about, pigeons just seem to click to me.
Same. I always loved birds and wanted a pet one. Pigeons are the best choice in my opinion, because they're not as loud as parrots. I also have a cat, and she would probably try to kill the pigeon, so I'll get one when I move out
I rescued a young pigeon that coudn't fly and was extremly hurt, she was all bloody and had severe injuries, i could literally see her insides, i managed to heal them all in a month with food, water medicine and baths but my mom forced me to give her to my dad and a month later or something like that he got tired of the pigeon because it was still scared, coudn't walk properly or fly because her wing was broken and wasn't properly healed but he wouldn't pay a surgery either so he killed her and told me she magically "died" :/
A pigeon used to live in our balcony my grandma would feed her baby when they hatch haha! Unfortunately both my grandma and pegions are gone forever now. They were such a sweet memories.
I about 1 year ago found an injured pigeon on the sidewalk, its wing was torn, so i brought it to my home and treated the wing, we had him home for about 12 days, in which we treated his wing, fed and played with him - when we released him we barely got him to fly off and even now, about a year afterwards every so often he lands at our apartment's window and we give him some bread.
@@mel999.Wet bread is fine to give to birds like pigeons, ducks, and chickens occasionally as treats. This way it doesn't bloat in their stomach but the best is giving them chopped corn or bird feed mix that is sold specifically for domestic foul. A lot of them also love cheese as a treat! Source: over 20 years raising animals.
My grandfather lives in North Macedonia and he has 2 different types of pigeons.One in a brown cage , one in a Blue cage. He takes really good Care of them.
So true! I worked at a pet shop for years and highly recommend pigeons and doves for children! They're so sweet, cuddly, and have a beautiful quiet coo as the noise they make!
depending on where you live, rock doves ("feral" domestic pigeons) are free to be kept! theyre kinda like "feral" housecats here, invasive species that you can catch and keep. also, theyre thought to be direct descendents of war pigeons, just a lil fun fact! but if you want a fancy pigeon, theres plenty of pigeon breeders all over the world. just read into those if youre interested and learn what each breed is like. good luck!
It doesn’t even matter if you have a baby pigeon, an adult will still be loyal to you! That’s the beauty of pigeons, no matter what age they will always remain loyal once you gain their trust.
@@proboygamer9289do you know what a organism do in this world? SURVIVE And survival needs food. If a organism gets free food without any hardwork, it will live happily there, even you. This pigeon has a safe, free food future , he is happy No offence , i agree to you too👍

I'll reminisce on the good times in the future and make fun of whatever trouble she gets into in the coming years.
they're also very cute and when my back hurt, mine would lie down on that area on his own and warm it up with his mega body heat. hahahaha, he was super cute and I liked when he would dance to music he liked, there were only a few songs he liked with fiddles that he would dance to. one of his favorite snacks was peas. His name was Cucumber.
This is very true! I once meet a grandma who raised one and so the pigeon followed her everywhere. She knew how to fly and live on her own but she always came back to the grandma. She was, like, SUPER chill. She let me grab her and would climb up in my hands and arms, she'd eat from my hand and if I send her off she'd fly and then come back to me. This was literally minutes after I meet her. Absolutely adorable. Pigeons are so cute.
@@ketchupchocolate9168 omg hahahahah no. It's just that bird pets usually don't know how to and the pigeon flew around freely even leaving for weeks before coming back. That being said, this made me laugh so hard!
I agree! We rescued a baby pigeon that fell from a nest somewhere in structure of our condo. We made him/her a bed in a box with a heat pad underneath on low and made food from online recommendations until the animal sanctuary opened in the morning. People were just passing the poor thing. My husband said he/she looked a bit like a chicken cutlet trying to move. My 6 yr old son loved the baby pigeon sooo much. He named the pigeon Rainbow Cookie 🎉❤ I wish I knew more then because I would of kept that little guy. He kinda new us after 16 hrs and drank water and food from a dropper. So cute.
this is true until they peck and pick apart every single plant that you love and care for😭😭😭 (I don't hate them but it still hurts to see all my plants pecked apart :') )
You don’t necessarily need 2 pigeons, you can have one female pigeon so long as you constantly love them and give them attention. A male pigeon however is a different story as they can become bonded to humans and try to mate with you (unlike female pigeons)
I pet sat my friend's pigeon once. She was a wildlife rehaber and he couldn't be released. I had to buy leather work gloves because I got pecked so much trying to change his water/feed him/clean his cage. He was not a friendly boy. He was cute! RIP Chester.

My uncle rescued 3 injured pigeons and when he tried to release them back into the wild, they refused to leave his side so he decided to adopt them and got them a large, beautiful bird cage which he kept inside his garden house and he'd let one of them sit on his shoulder whenever he was tending to his plants. He loves those pigeons and the pigeons love him.
That's beautiful ❤
Your uncle sounds like a jewel of a man.
Anyway, please enjoy the hopefully long remainder of your existence and have a good day!
That’s Awesome!💜
Pigeons are animals who create strong bonds... I have a pigeon loft with lots of them..
You can just keep a pigeon somewhere for a couple weeks with proper care, feeding and shelter and it'll make it it's home and most likely won't ever leave
@@eliazermodz2429 thank you for sharing. Pigeons sadly are so underrated , it breaks my heart how ppl treat them like shit 😔
You left out one of the biggest differences: THEY AREN'T LOUD! Parrots YELL. They SCREECH. If you can't do noise, or if you live in a situation where noise is not tolerated, but still want a bird, pigeons and doves are perfect.
WTF BROOO Lol
True one of the few birds that are very quiet
They do make pretty soft sounds. 😊
I can't speak to pigeons, but my dove was extremely talkative. Not very loud, but she was never quiet, lets say. 😂😂

When I was a child my mother took in an injured pigeon and treated it's broken wing. She kept the wing splinted for a few weeks and when she removed the splint kept the bird in a cage for a day just so it could get used to the feeling of the bare wing without attempting to fly and re-injure the it. I swear that bird often visited us once she released it.
My brother kept homing pigeons when I was a teen. He really loved those birds.
This has me wanting one now. 😏
Worked at a ice cream shop where we made our own waffle cones, and we would save the broken bits in a tub labeled "for Bartholomew"
Bartholomew was a pigeon that came to us in the back alley for help after being attacked by a cat and had all his tail feathers ripped out. He was so patient and sweet, always on time to get his snacks before hiding for the day. He eventually healed enough to make it out on his own, but we would catch glimpses of him stopping by for a quick "coo"
E: can't believe I forgot to clarify I took it upon myself to feed him millet and sunflower after a couple of weeks of visitation, when he made it obvious he was there to stay (for the short run) 🥴
I cant help but think of all the sugar Bartholomew ate
i worked in a seafront ice cream place and we had a regular pigeon with one foot called stumpy - he also enjoyed the occasional snack and came by every day at around 5pm
Aaaawe 🥺🥺🥺
@@turbotonic27 Bartholomew has diabetes now
This little story made my entire day better. Thank you.
Pigeons are social animals and are not naturally afraid of humans, unlike other animals. They are very quiet too, even the sound they make is not loud. Getting them to trust you is exceptionally easy. The pigeon's proper name is Rock Dove.
So what you’re saying is, I should find a place to sell me 20 rock doves? Got it
And a really good food 😂
@@jackfrostfrost2938wild pigeon soup is pretty good 😂, tho I think I will only get them as a pet

They are incredibly intelligent. Pigeons have actually been taught to recognize written words!

Domestic animals, like pigeons, make great pets. Shocker lol
I love these floofs
I live in a downtown area and have the most beautiful flock of pigeons that live in the big building down the street. There's a few that are almost as white as a doves with cream colored patches. When it's raining or snowing they make walking the Dog so much more enjoyable because they're so tranquil and beautiful to watch especially on a quiet afternoon or early morning!
When I was a kid, we found a pigeon trapped under a large rock. We took it home and nursed it back to health. Became a wonderful pet that bonded with my dad and spent his time following him everywhere. Sweet, sweet, pet.
That is so wonderful 😭
Aww thank you for helping that poor bird so sweet :)
Is it still alive?
That’s a great bird. I want a pigeon. “MOM, CAN WE GET A PIGEON?????!!!!!”
@@RareWub_WubKing I'm old, so no, but he had a good life.
Yep. I’m considering getting a pigeon cuz a parrot is too loud for my household and definitely requires a bit more attention/effort. But I do still love parrots.
I have both! And i agree! They are quiet, and super cute!
I have 4 budgies, one canary and 9 pigeons 😂. Pigeons are in backyard but house is loud as hell😂
thats why i prefer columbidaes, but i do still too like parrots! theyre just a bit too loud for me
@@S0lesSt3in oooh! i love people get their birds a harness, i take my dove on his harness out too! he loves the different outdoor weathers
You will wake up to relaxing cooing.
My parents hate pigeons (the wild ones) and I somewhat agree with them. I do believe if you train/love and nurture a pigeon enough that they will make great pets! I’ve handled a few fancy pigeons before and they were pretty pleasant to be around 😊
Wild ones only flock around humans eating cause they're smart enough to remember and recognize the paterns of people occasionally throwing them a morsel, so they keep coming back
A monster of our own creation, but most just blame the animal for seizing the best opportunity to survive and thrive
We, as a species do much worse on the daily to achieve the same
@@439801RSExactly, they are just trying to survive after their homes were taken from them. The ones living in the city aren't as clean but it's only because cities are disgusting and there's not much places for them to safely hide and sleep.
They are also very cute babies
Also: whereas larger parrots can live upwards of 40-60 years, pigeons have about the same lifespan of a cat at 15. You'll worry less about making a near lifelong commitment.
Another thing: pigeons are quiet. If you live in an apartment, your neighbors won't even know you have a bird.
And: pigeons are very cute. ❤
I have nothing against them, but pigeons are not quiet. I can't compare to other pet birds but i have some experience with domesticated pigeons and those mfs are vocal af
so many pigeons of my neighbour just rip of my trees, I couldn't save them😭
As someone that cries every time I remember that my lovebird Noodle will not be my lifelong companion, larger parrots seem a huge win for me.
@@bmp2791 pigeons are so quiet compared to larger parrots or even lovebirds
@@cookienoodles True, that can be a pro or a con I guess. Like me for example, I'm still young, have no idea what my life is going to look like in 35+ years, and I wouldn't want to risk having to rehome a parrot because I couldn't forsee major lifestyle changes. BUT if I had a pretty good idea of what I'd be doing up until the bird's death, the long lifespan would be great.

we used to have this lovely pair of pigeons visit our balcony. we called them mr and mrs because they took care of each so much. they would sit quietly, wait for a feed and just be so calm and relaxed with us. when it rained, they used our balcony for shelter and protected each other. they brought their little ones until the little ones were old enough to 'leave the nest' so to speak. mr and mrs were such lovely pigeons, i'll never forget them.

@@i_have_no_fucks_to_give7761 That's why they said "one of"
it's true, pigeons were first domesticated nearly 10,000 years ago. however they were originally for eating, not necessarily as pets. Then we found out about their homing instincts and used them for mail!
Casual Geographic made me appreciate pigeons even more :)
I love when they do the little nuzzle thing as they get sleepy
Last summer a stray pigeon randomly showed up at my house on our truck (we live in a more rural suburb) and seemed to immediately get attached to me. It would constantly follow me around as I did yard chores and would try and hop up on me if I knelt down. If I went back inside it’d go back to the truck. If I came out, it’d fly back towards me. It was… strangely endearing.
I wish I took it in now. I didn’t at the time because we’ve got cats and dogs and I had no clue if this bird was already someone’s pet or where to even begin in terms of pigeon care. So I just gave it some seed and left it outside, looked for any missing pigeon notices online. My mom eventually needed to use the truck and slowly drove until the pigeon flew off. A couple days later, I find a bunch of familiar colored feathers and a severed bird leg in the backyard. I’m confident it was that bird since I haven’t seen it around all through winter. I’m still bummed about it.
Its never rly a good idea to keep birds next to cats. You can never know what could happen. But i rotally understand your feelings.
It was a bad situation, but you have my sympathy, and a ghost hug.
Aw this just made me sad :'( though it's not your fault about not taking it in as you already had cats and dogs but poor pigeon
Aww
so sorry for you 😢
My mom and I rescued a baby pigeon when I was little. I think it's leg was broken. We set it free when it grew up and could fly.
Some weeks later, we saw the same one again on a roof, snuggled up with a new friend
That is so sweet! That new friend was probably it's new mate or it's boy friend or girl friend. Lol-
Sounds like a freeloading pigeon to me. Hopefully a Hawk got him
Oh that's so sweet 😭😭 I remember when I was about 7, my mom's friend found a baby pigeon that had an injury and couldn't fly back to it's parents, so she picked it up and put it in a little box and brought it home. I was younger then so I cannot remember what else happened clearly

I had doves growing up. They were legitimately the sweetest little peas! Now I have a nesting pair of mourning doves on my balcony and I get to see them raise their little babies every season! Every time I see pigeons I get so happy. They’re all very, very sweet and often under-appreciated animals!
I had the pleasure of getting to know a pigeon that my birth mom had. He took to me almost immediately when I stayed with her for a few days, and he was my absolute best friend the entire time. Wanted to snuggle against me, play with me, and be in my business constantly. Whatever I was doing, he wanted to be a part of it. Such a bright little soul! A real character. They're lovely birds.
Snuggle against you 🥺😭?!
ik this is prolly gonna sound dumb af but when I used to have budgie birds as pets, they shit like a lot so I'm genuinely curious. do pigeons shit a lot too? lmao cuz bird's poop is a lil hard to clean from surfaces that aren't smooth, like bed sheets an all. but still, I love pigeons and I think that out of all the pets I've done research about, pigeons just seem to click to me.
It's so funny that he was in your business, adorable

I've wanted a pigeon for a couple of years now
As soon as I move out of my home, I will be getting a pigeon
Same. I always loved birds and wanted a pet one. Pigeons are the best choice in my opinion, because they're not as loud as parrots.
I also have a cat, and she would probably try to kill the pigeon, so I'll get one when I move out
"Happy to exist in ur company" that makes me happy.

As someone who has 2 budgies I can confirm they fight often and one is a bit aggresive
I rescued a young pigeon that coudn't fly and was extremly hurt, she was all bloody and had severe injuries, i could literally see her insides, i managed to heal them all in a month with food, water medicine and baths but my mom forced me to give her to my dad and a month later or something like that he got tired of the pigeon because it was still scared, coudn't walk properly or fly because her wing was broken and wasn't properly healed but he wouldn't pay a surgery either so he killed her and told me she magically "died" :/

I about 1 year ago found an injured pigeon on the sidewalk, its wing was torn, so i brought it to my home and treated the wing, we had him home for about 12 days, in which we treated his wing, fed and played with him - when we released him we barely got him to fly off and even now, about a year afterwards every so often he lands at our apartment's window and we give him some bread.
You made a friend for life. Haha
I don't think bread is good for them?! I could be wrong. And very lovely story ❤
@@mel999.Wet bread is fine to give to birds like pigeons, ducks, and chickens occasionally as treats. This way it doesn't bloat in their stomach but the best is giving them chopped corn or bird feed mix that is sold specifically for domestic foul. A lot of them also love cheese as a treat!

So true! I worked at a pet shop for years and highly recommend pigeons and doves for children! They're so sweet, cuddly, and have a beautiful quiet coo as the noise they make!
"They will be loyal to u."
*searches up how to get a baby pigeon*
make them do crimes
depending on where you live, rock doves ("feral" domestic pigeons) are free to be kept! theyre kinda like "feral" housecats here, invasive species that you can catch and keep. also, theyre thought to be direct descendents of war pigeons, just a lil fun fact! but if you want a fancy pigeon, theres plenty of pigeon breeders all over the world. just read into those if youre interested and learn what each breed is like. good luck!
It doesn’t even matter if you have a baby pigeon, an adult will still be loyal to you! That’s the beauty of pigeons, no matter what age they will always remain loyal once you gain their trust.
