Breed Pigeons Birds for sale

Pigeons, also known as Rock Doves or colloquially as pet pigeons, have a rich origin dating back over 5,000 years when they were first domesticated in Mesopotamia. Their physical traits include a sturdy body, short neck, and a variety of colourations, commonly grey with iridescent feathers around the neck. These birds are excellent fliers and impressive navigators, capable of speeds up to 60 mph. Temperament-wise, they are generally calm and social, often forming monogamous pairs and thriving in urban environments due to their adaptability. Their suitability as pets or racing birds is high, with many enthusiasts in the UK. Pigeons are also popular in fancy breeds and come in types such as roller pigeons and tumblers. Key characteristics like their gentle nature and intelligence contribute to their popularity, especially in the context of racing pigeons and pet ownership. Keywords such as "pet pigeon," "pigeons for sale UK," and "fancy pigeons for sale UK" reflect their standing in the UK’s avian hobbyist community, making them an accessible and interesting breed for both new and experienced bird keepers.

FAQs

Should I get one pigeon or two?

It is best to get two pigeons rather than one because pigeons are highly social and emotional birds that thrive with a companion, either another pigeon or a caring human. Keeping a single pigeon without interaction can lead to loneliness and stress.

What is the best breed of pigeon for a pet?

The best pet pigeon breeds include the Homing Pigeon, known for being friendly and trainable; the Rock Pigeon (Common Pigeon), which is hardy and sociable; the Fantail Pigeon, appreciated for its gentle temperament and striking appearance; and the Sheerazi, noted for its social nature and suitability as an indoor pet.

Will pet pigeons fly away if allowed outside?

Pet pigeons can fly away if allowed outdoors unsupervised, but domesticated breeds like homing pigeons can be trained to return home, reducing this risk. Indoor pet pigeons typically do not fly freely, and sometimes are given 'pigeon pants' harnesses to allow flight indoors without escaping.

Is it legal to keep pigeons as pets in the UK?

Yes, it is legal to keep pigeons as pets in the UK. Many people keep them indoors or outdoors in suitable aviaries or lofts, provided the birds are given adequate space, daily interaction, and proper health care. Pigeons are not protected wild species, so keeping captive-bred or domesticated breeds is straightforward.
