Pigeons were domesticated over 5,000 years ago and have helped people. Notably in World War II to send messages across different operations within the AAF.
They are birds that love to socialise and don't need a lot of toys to be entertained. Being in their caretaker's presence is enough for these feathered friends! As they are very affectionate and loyal creatures. They also are quiet birds, making them an ideal pet for any size house.
Just like dogs they also can learn tricks. However, they can recongise people and are the very few animals that can recognise themselves in a mirror.
No need to worry about washing your bird or high water bills. Pigeons take care of cleaning themselves and do so often! Just a shallow water tray and they're good to go.
Just like any other pet, there are different breeds of pigeons.
There are five major breeds but over 300 species. Pigeons come in
all shapes and sizes
