Overview

The Complete Pigeon Care Handbook is a practical, beginner-friendly guide to understanding pigeons and caring for them responsibly, with enough depth to support more advanced keepers too. Covering well-known birds like the Rock Pigeon along with remarkable species such as the Nicobar Pigeon and the Victoria Crowned Pigeon, this book helps you learn what makes pigeons unique and how to meet their needs through proper housing, nutrition, hygiene, and health care. You will start with clear pigeon basics: biology, behavior, communication, flock dynamics, and how pigeons learn routines and bond with their environment. From there, the handbook walks you through habitat setup and daily management, including loft or aviary planning, ventilation, perching and nesting, cleanliness, safe handling, enrichment, and stress reduction. Feeding guidance covers balanced diets, clean water routines, grit and minerals, and smart supplementation habits, with a focus on preventing common nutrition-related issues. Health care is approached with prevention first. You will learn what ""normal"" looks like, early warning signs to take seriously, quarantine and biosecurity basics, parasite awareness, and when to work with an avian veterinarian. The book also explains common pigeon problems in plain language so you can respond quickly and avoid repeat issues. Because not all ""pigeons"" are kept the same way, the species chapters highlight the different needs, temperaments, and space requirements across types. It also includes a respectful, educational section on the Passenger Pigeon, focusing on natural history and the conservation lessons of its extinction rather than care, since it no longer exists today.
