CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Will the pigeons return to the nest after their young are taken away?

1. Will the pigeons return to the nest after their young pigeons are taken away?

Will continue to return to the nest to feed the young pigeons.

If you take the young pigeons or eggs away from the nest, the mother pigeon will continue to guard the nest because the mother pigeon has a continuous feeding or incubation period, which can generally last for 2-3 days. It is hard to say for a longer period of time, and it varies from pigeon to pigeon.

If we take the young pigeons out for one night and then bring them back to the nest, the old pigeons will continue to incubate and feed them. This is the nature of pigeons. Even if we take the newly born pigeons out and replace them with pigeon eggs and let them continue to incubate them, and then take the young pigeons back after two or three days, they will still feed them normally.

Pigeons raised at home will breed little pigeons in the cage. If you take the little pigeons away from the cage, they will be very sad. The two big pigeons will fly back and forth around the cage looking for the little pigeons. If they can't find the little pigeons, they will come back later. They will breed another nest of little pigeons after more than a month.

2. What happens if the pigeons don’t feed their little pigeons?

The reasons for not feeding pigeons are:

1. Young pigeons are eliminated birds: When breeding pigeons determine that young pigeons are eliminated birds, they will give up raising the young pigeons and let them be eliminated naturally.

2. Insufficient parentage of breeding birds: Breeding pigeons cannot raise young birds well because it is their first breeding or due to congenital genetic reasons.

3. Breeding pigeons are sick: Breeding pigeons have health problems during the breeding period, such as colds, enteritis, parasites, etc., which will affect the feeding of young pigeons.

4. Environmental reasons: An environment that is too noisy or has an unsuitable temperature will also affect the breeding of breeding pigeons.
