pigeons once paired up will stay together season after season but if one of the pair was to be shot the other would find another mate

Hi mate just found this from Yahoo.

 

(Pigeons I do believe feel love. They do mate for life and it has been proven that they will not take another mate after the death of their first one. Studies have shown that they will sometimes even stop eating after the loss and even in some cases commit suicide. They have purposely flown into moving cars when no other vehicles are around and into solid objects at speed, killing them instantly. If that is not love I don't know what is! Its both sad and beautiful at the same time. I would do the same thing if something happened to my fiance (My soul mate!).

 

Not talking about pigeons in captivity! Talking about them in their natural environment! The wild!)

Hi PH.

 

Nature never ceases to amaze me, who would have thought that they behave that way.

i have a pigeon loft and thats where i got the idear of pigeons not mating for life as i personally mix and match cock birds with hens (selective breeding)

i also have a cops at the bottom of the garden with about 6-8 woodies

 

on a regular baseis they feeding with my birds i have on occasion shot a few but after a while i find my self counting 6-8 woddies once again

 

am not saying for one minute that they dont but i find it hard for a pigeon to commit suicide Natural instinct is to get away from danger not init :hmm:

 

now the local black bird thats a different story he must love my bay window :D

 

we better ask David Attenborough on this one its a hard en

I watched a DVD by Chris Green, think he's something to do with BASC. He reckons to stop shooting them while they're nesting, but then again the chances of both parents getting shot must be remote.

 

I suppose if you've got a job to do sorting the pigeons out for a farmer and he says shoot em, what can you do

There's a cock Wood Pigeon knobbing three hens on our roof every morning, so If I whack one of his hens he still has two to go at biggrin.gif

how do you tell if a pigeon is male or female?

 

You can always tell a male, if it's not mating it's w*****g.
