    I have about 30 pigeons and have lost a few one having the head tilt and flying into walls. Mostly all my babies have been dying. Where do you purchase the vaccine that u use? I want to start vaccinating asap. And how much and how often do you add the apple cider vinegar in there water?

    • @guywiththepinkgun
      @guywiththepinkgun  3 года назад +5

      You wouldn’t vaccinate until about 30 days so if the babies aren’t making it that far no bueno. What kind of feed are you currently using?
      Cider is 1TBS per gallon 2 times per week!

      @@guywiththepinkgun I'm using Browns premium pigeon food and I mix in sunflower seeds as well. 1 of the babies that died had a head tilt at about 2 months, 2 other babies that were mabey a month old died and had full a full gullet. Still whole food. I have never had a problem with that before now. I have only had 1 adult die did not show neurological signs so not sure on that one.

    Years ago an all white, banded pigeon flew into a window of the house, broke the window & its wing. It almost looked like it had fleas in its feathers too. I nursed it back to health for almost two months. When I released her, she flew off onto the garage roof for while & then into the evening sky. Never saw her again but the owner must have been surprised seeing his pigeon back months later or maybe thats normal. Neat hobby I could see getting into one day. Great vid, thanks for putting out.

    Knowledge is power, thank you for sharing your knowledge. My birds kick the nest bowls out as well. I take a drywall screw and I put a screw in the wood in front of the nest bowl to hold the bowl in place.

    As long as you keep your loft clean and give your birds apple cider vinegar, grit, vitamins and exercise and sun you won't need vaccines

    I appreciate the videos, but would add that emphasizing the absolute need for grit be noted, as well as a 2-inch front for the nests to prevent babies from being pushed out, or inadvertently crawling out and falling to the floor.
    Adding a landing board in front also would be beneficial.
    Again, though, your discussion of the medicines is helpful.

  • @jesjenvasquez5347

    I would recommend lining the bottom of the cages with something like wood or maybe newspapers since those types of cage floors are bad for the pigeons feet. Otherwise interesting video :)

    • @guywiththepinkgun

      That’s related to viral issues often associated with PMV and you can vaccinate against that.

      Culling the bird for sure. It it is a really nice bird quarantine and see if it can make it.. but its typically really hard on them.

Now, along with caring for husband, 14 chickens, 3 pygmy goats, 2 dogs, 5 cats ... I need info on caring for pigeons. Basics. VERY basic. We have 1 male and 7 females ... I think. How do you tell? How often for ACV? Can someone point me to somewhere I can learn? I'm not finding very many helpful YT videos. I'd appreciate the help very much.
