Sir,
I liked your site, your experience on pigeons, i am new to this field with 13 pigeons, in this 2 are fantail. The rest i dont know its breed ,as here i dont have a good source to know its breed, even if they say the breed they say local names, not what we see in internets. Will you please help beginners like me to say how its cages to be built, what feed to be given as we get in India, how to care them, size of cages, how to train them fly for hours without landing, etc.
Expecting your help please.
thank you

Ahmad Karim

Thanx alot mumtazticloft for the usefull information. I got the female at the end of summer last yr and now its end of winter so i guess i have to wait and see if she lays eggs in summer time but thanx for ur help.

Ahmad Karim

Hi it’s me again hope your ok and enjoying your time with your birds. I wanted to ask a question I have a Iranian female which I had for nearly 5 months now but she won’t lay eggs I tried putting her with a different male because I thought maybe something wrong with the male but still no luck an experienced breeder told me she should lay eggs because he said the bird is 2 yrs old by looking at the bird feather , just want to know if u can tell me what could be the reason for her not laying eggs they have created a nest but no eggs any suggestion plz ??? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Ahmad,

I forwarded your question to one of the foremost authorities I know when it comes to pigeons and their genetics, Frank Mosca. The following is his answer. I hope this helps you and many other breeders who might have the same problem.

“Okay there are a few possibilities here.

1 - The hen is sterile. It happens. I had one archangel hen years back that didn't lay for four years. I had her posted and the vet told me she had a malformed oviduct from birth.

2. She's out synch with the male. The guy can try this. Pop a wooden egg under her at about 5 pm, then 2 days later do the same with a second wooden egg. Let them sit the eggs for ten days and take the eggs away and let them go to nest again. Sometimes that will 'cause the hen to lay the next nest.

3. She might be calcium deficient or vitamin E deficient. Make sure she's on a good diet with sufficient fresh grit replenished every other day or so.

4. The experienced breeder is wrong and the bird is younger and not yet ready to lay or (depending on where the owner of this bird lives - she's not getting enough light and she's in winter mode.) If that's the case, he can wait till later toward the spring or add more light hours with a timer in the loft/breeding pen.”

Great web site! Beautiful pictures!

I found an orphaned and starving female feral pigeon on May 12, 2007 that was about a week old, based on the daily development pictures in your baby section. Needless to say, after hand-raising her, she turned into our 'spoiled' baby.

Sometime around August of this year I noticed that the feathers on her back, starting right behind her neck, were deteriorating such that only the center shaft was left, giving them the appearance of a course hair with a tassel on the end, somewhat resembling a small paint brush.

Since then I've tried everything imaginable. First, when 'caged bird spray' didn't work, I took her to the only avian veterinarian in this area who "thought" it was mites and treated her for such. (He injected something onto the skin of her back in the infected area.) After that apparently didn't work, we've dusted her a total of three times with 5% Sevin Dust, sprayed the infected area with a diluted bleach solution (supposed to kill fungus), and nothing seems to make any difference.

So, here it is five months since the start of this and right now her back looks better because some new feathers are coming in, but those new feathers have already started to deteriorate as well.

Note that she's never shown any signs of sickness because of this. She's energetic, has a good appetite and all.

Through all of this I have never seen any kind of bug, and I have searched many times using a magnifying glass.

Please advise me on what else I can try if you can.....

Thanks!

It seems like you did everything I could have suggested. I never had an experience with this particular problem so I can’t really help you. If I were you, I would post this on pigeon Talk and I am sure someone there will help you out. Here is the link : http://www.pigeons.biz/forums in the bottom there is a link that says: “Sick or Injured Pigeon and Dove Discussions”. If you are able to post a picture of her condition, it would really help too.

Thanks for all you do for that bird, and good luck.

Dave Zornes

I don’t know who set up your web page but all I can say it is the best and most informative I have ever seen. I have been raising Birmingham Rollers for 42 years most from the Pensom line. Seeing I lived in Maryland and bought the best birds I could find on the north east coast and it is great to see a young man like you champion the cause and dedicate so much time in the breeding and development of performing breeds. On your home page you mentioned the bronze roller. Well I bred two of them this year and would like to let you have one of them. I have met you; I am the secretary of the CENTRAL FLORIDA PIGEON FANCIERS ASSOCIATION the guy that does the set up and tear down of the show cages at the shows E-MAIL me.

Thanks for the complements. Being a web design teacher at a local high school I designed and maintaining my website. Hope to see you soon and we’ll keep in touch via emails.

Saeid Rajaei

Hi guys
Do you know how to treat "Newcastle disease; PMV-1; in pegions? I have a big challenge with this infection and I haven't find a proper way to treat this deases. So I'll appriciate you if you have a practical way(medicine,....) to treat it.

Thank's a lot, Saeed

Paramyxovirus is the most dangerous threat to our pigeons. There is a vaccine approved by the US Government. PMV-1 stands for Avian Parmayxovirus Type 1. Once the bird gets this virus there isn’t much you can do about it!!! You can try giving them the vaccine but it will either kill them instantly or will cure them. You must vaccinate your birds every 6 months and separate the sick birds from the rest as it spreads pretty fast. Good luck!

Saleem Ullah Nasir

Its really nice website. Im from Pakistan and have alot of types of racing pigeons. I've a loft of over 100 pigeons. Training breeding and racing styles is much different here than the US and other country. As far as genetics are concerned here people learned from other people and they are very expert in it without reading any book but just personal experience. In Pakistan its not developed as a sports. In Pakistan you may have almost every types of pigeons i personally know many people who do have imported and local birds and they are doing very well.

I guess there should be an organization where we could gather info about different types of pigeons in the world and should have competition around the world so that we can decide which type of the bird is the best for racing and high fly.

Nice site lots of good info, but do you breed your rollers in individual pens so you know who is the true father, I’ve seen too many loft breeders ruin their own birds by open loft breeding. Keep up the good work roller rookie from Ct.

Thank you and YES!!! I do breed them in individual boxes and know who their parents are…

Thanx for your reply to mail of Feb 16, 2009. One of my birds - Homer, 75 days old, has not been eating properly for the last 20 days and she vomits whatever little that she consumes. She has become very weak and not even able to go to her coup. Since then no growth noticed. I tried to consult Vet Doctors, but here in Bangalore, Vet Doctors mainly treat only dogs and cattle. Please help me to help her regain good health. Thank you.

I honestly don't know what to advise you. The loss of appetite and vomiting could be a symptom for a lot of sicknesses. In cases like these where the sickness is unknown without proper lab testing of the droppings, I give my birds a product called 4 in 1. It treats them for Canker, E-Coli, Paratyphoid and Coccidiosis. I also give them Sulmet 12.5% (Sulfamethazine). Sulfa drug commonly used to treat a wide variety of pigeon diseases caused by bacteria. Sulfamethazine is recommended by vets for treatment of: Cholera, Coccidiosis, Paratyphoid, Sour Crop, kidney infections and some types of colds. A lot of people use a drug called Baytril. I believe this drug is also used for cattle and you should be able find it in your country. The common brand name is Enrofloxacin . It is a powerful drug and repeated use should be discouraged, as it also kills normal bacteria of the bowel. It is useful to treat individual unwell birds where the exact cause is unknown. After the treatment I give my birds probiotic which is used for repopulating the digestive track with millions of essential and natural gut bacteria, wiped out by antibiotics. If I were you, I would also check if the bird has canker, which is a whitish, cheesy form in the throat or other cavity. Check for Sour Crop also if the bird opens his/her mouth as though he/she is yawning repeatedly. For Sour Crop I use baking soda for couple of days, but then I give them probiotics to replace the good gut bacteria killed by baking soda. Please understand I am not a veterinarian or have a medical degree. I am also not very experienced breeder. I am simply stating what I would normally do when I have sick bird where the cause is unknown.

In addition, post your problem to http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/ under “Sick or Injured Pigeon Discussions”. You will get a lot of help from more experienced breeders and veterinarians.

I hope you will be able to save her. Good Luck.

thanks for telling but my dear i dont have any information fo pigeon medicien and disies so i tell u plz. you tell me kenker, pmv & more deisie in you use medicien I live in delhi(india)in delhi not any pigeon hospitel & not a docter no any bady tell any medicien so i will tell you u give me information for pigeon care (medicien) i have 100 pigeon (macpai,indian gola and some high flying ) plz you help me & my pigeon

Ok, for canker I use Ronidazole (Ridzole 10%) Tablets. If you can’t find this in your country, go to a pet store where they sell aquarium fish and get a medication for fish fungus. Canker in pigeons is caused by the same organism that creates fungus on fish. For PMV the only thing you can do is vaccinate your birds. Once the pigeon in infected, there is no cure that I know of to save the bird. If you try to vaccinate a bird that has PMV, it will die instantly. It is recommended to vaccinate them every 6 months. For Paratyphoid, E-Coli and bacterial infections such as Haemophilus (a respiratory infection) I use an antibiotic called Amoxicillin. I order my products from http://www.foyspigeonsupplies.com/ and they do ship internationally. I hope this helps. Good luck.

hello
I see ur site this is very good and u do very well but u not show any medicine plz u give me some medicine name& disease

thank u

Thanks for the complements. The reason I did not mention the names of the medicines is because I don’t like to advertise brand names. There is a variety of medicine out there and every breeder has their choice of medicine that they feel work for them.

Very informative and colorful site. Lots of good information. I fly Oriental Rollers and have hawk problems year round here in Illinois. This is my first year with Serbian Highfliers and have gotten the young kit to fly about 2 and a half hours now. I think that 50 birds is about the right amount to keep with all those different breeds. If you raise too many you are doing a disservice to the birds and yourself. Hope that you have had a good breeding season.

Sunni Thusi

I have high flying pigeons, some pigeons are dropping watery and I think it's a diaria and smelly too. What do I do for that probably can u help me out as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot.

I normally put a one table spoon of baking soda to one gallon of water when my pigeons have watery droppings. It fixes the problem very quick. If you can’t find baking soda try bleach, but don’t mix too much of it. The problem is baking soda and bleach kills the good gut bacteria that they need for them to digest food better. So, after you give them baking soda and bleach, help them get those good gut bacteria by giving them pro bios. If you can’t find pro bios, little bit of plain yogurt would do it also…. If the problem of watery droppings doesn’t go away after few days I would try antibiotic treatment.
I hope this helps,
Good luck.

Amazing coloures. I am from south africa. I am breeding with birmingham rollers for the past 20 years, own bloodline, and own strain and good rollers. Your coloures are fantastic. I would really like to bring that into my line. Is there any chance? good site, well done.

Thanks for the complements. I really don’t know much about importing and exporting pigeons or eggs from other countries to the US and vice versa. I have never done it but I know there are private companies that import and export live poultry. You need to find a company or contact your Department of Agriculture in South Africa to find out how you can import from other countries. If it is possible, I will be glad to share my family of birds with you.

I had some pigeon in my loft so long, when I fly them some bird never show. I lost many bird like this, what can I do, how do I train my birds please help me out this problem, I live in Toronto Canada, thanx.

Without knowing what kind of pigeons you have, and how you fly them, I don’t know how I can answer your question. If you have a flying kit of birds, it’s very hard to lose birds, unless the bird is new to the loft, it’s a baby in training or it’s “THE HAWK SEASON”!!! If you have birds that have always been kept as breeders and were never let out, you will lose those birds too. Don’t fly your breeding stock, get babies out of them and fly the babies. Everyone has an opinion and a way to train and fly the young birds. It’s all depends on the breed, location and the experience of the breeder. I explain the way I fly my birds in this website under “Baby Pigeons”.

Your website is fantastic (Mumtaztic!) I especially appreciate the care and detail you've provided in describing the history and lore of your breeds. I would like to learn more about the stories and superstitions associated with the Iranian Highflyers. Thanks, and your birds are fortunate to have you caring for them.

Yaw and Mog

“Have you heard of that fable, Yaw, written by that famous Greek, Aesop? Well anyway, I shall tell you about it. There was a hungry hawk that chased after a flock of pigeons, but no matter how fast he went after them, they always managed to scurry to safety.

“So one day the hawk decided to use deception. From a nearby tree he told them, ‘Because you live a life of constant fear, if you make me your king, I will keep you safe from any aggression.’

“The foolish pigeons believed the hawk. They made him their king as they thought that he was interested in their welfare. Once on the throne he issued a proclamation. From that day forward, he ordered that a pigeon be prepared every evening for his dinner.

“Do you know the moral of that story, Yaw?”

“Common men who vote an incompetent to power deserve their fate,” Abayaw replied.

Very informative pigeon breeder website. It’s the biggest state by state pigeon breeder’s directory. Your pigeon breeders list helped me find a lot of pigeon breeders in the United States. I like reading the pigeon articles as well. Keep up the good work. This is one of the best pigeon sites I have seen in long time.

PS I was in Turkey in the early 80`s in the military. Adana/Incirlik were the closest towns.

Thanks Kenny,

If you visit the “Pigeon Search” link, you can see the description about each of my birds and what line they are coming from. You have a nice website going there too. Post more pictures if you can.

I was born and raised in Mersin, Turkey which is an hour west of Adana and Incirlik NATO Air Force Base. So I know the area pretty well.

Best of luck with the Rollers…

thanx for da help today is da 23rd day n when i went to check on birds i saw da mother sitting on da eggs n i saw dat one of da eggs was hatched n it was under da mother n i think da other one will hatch tomoro tahnx again tc bye

I am happy to hear that. Good luck.

Ahmad Khan

hi ur site is very usfull especially bout da training young birds. i want to ask a question about my bird its been nearly 20-21 or 22 days since my birds layed 2 eggs n it still hasent hatched i m worried n want to ask u if it will hatch or not i had a look at the egg the other day i could see the shape of the baby bird in the egg n da parents are still taking turn sitting on the egg but i am not sure if it will hatch thanx n also the weather is very cold so i tought maybe it will take longer for them to hatch in cold weather if u could help me with dis plz tanx

In Florida, where I live, it takes 18 to 19 days for eggs to hatch. In cold weather, it can take up to 21 to 22 days. I would wait couple of more days if I were you. However, sometimes even if the egg looks like it’s fertile it may not hatch. Sometimes the babies die or sometimes they are not strong enough to hatch. If you are accurate about the days, I would wait couple more days. I hope they hatch…

One of the best pigeon sites I have ever see ,in this occasion I would like to ask you how possible to send eggs to some one abroad because I am seeking to do so if possible.

Thanks for the complements. I really don’t know much about importing pigeons or eggs from other countries to US. I know they have to be imported and kept in quarantine for a while. It is not an easy or a cheap process to bring them to US. Here is the link I found from the United States Department of Agriculture, which explains importing live poultry procedures from all countries to the United States:

I am from Australia and have started breeding Turkish Tumblers by chance. My first bird a pure white took up residence on my air conditioner at the front of my shop. After 2 years there I had 3 more birds fly in and he eventually mated with one of them and I have bred 5 birds since (2 died at maturaty for no apparent reason) 2 of the birds I finished feeding by hand and fly to my shoulder when I go out the back.

You are truly a wealth of information.

I have a serious problem with my young cocks and hens which are just two years old the cock has lost its fertility and hen has stopped laying eggs please help me out how to cure it ..

As I have almost 10 cocks and 4 hens where I am facing this problem.

There could be various reasons for this. Please write to me directly to arifmumtaz@comcast.net and explain in detail. What kind of birds do you have? Where do you keep them? Did they produce fertile eggs before? And did they hatched and survived?

Hi
I saw your website and I am in love with you front crested turkish tumblers. If you have any for sale or know anybody that may have some please let me know as soon as possible. I am located in Los Angeles. Thank you.

Thanks for your interest in my birds, but I don’t have any for sale at this point. I am trying to produce especially the front crested Turkish Tumblers myself, so it will be a while before I have enough for sale. Please keep in touch, I would like to help you get some in the future.

Hi Arif, Just noticed the link to your site on the pigeon talk forum. You have done a nice job with the site. Also very nice looking taklas you put together. How did you do this season? Were you able to train any young birds?

Thanks for writing. I am very happy with my taklas. They produced some good off spring, and they have been training well. I have lost a lot to the hawks but, that’s part of the game. I try to fly them everyday and really enjoying this great hobby. Now, that I got the performance I was looking for, I will now work on making certain colors and crests.

I like your website. I noticed a crested bird on your front page. I am one of the few that are breeding crested rollers, these were given to me by a few diferent breeders that hapen to pop up in their lofts, they are not crossed as far as I know, these birds tend to be deep, I'm still trying to cut down the roll, im getting too many rolldows but I have got some real nice 30 ft fast rollers.
You can check out my web site if you want.

Love the fancy pigeons but don’t keep them. I keep mostly whites and a couple of pure black. Looking for yellows but very expensive here in Ireland. Caught in a high flyer in during the summer so must get a mate for him seen your birds on you tube and look great site you have here. Bye for now regards from Ireland.

Suntharalingam Thusi

Hey I have some high flyers. When do I fly them; bc of falcon, hawks and cooper, I lost already 2 birds which season is good to fly them?

It depends on where you live. Here, in South Florida hawk season is between November and March. During the hawk season I fly my birds once a day about an hour before dark, because predators like to feast early in the day. This does not mean however, they would not get any of my birds. During the hawk season, I expect to lose some of my birds to predators as I believe it is part of the game. A lot of people choose not to fly birds during the hawk season as there is no guarantee for the safety of the birds. Sometimes changing the flight time helps. On the weekends I fly them very early in the morning like 7 A.M. Once the hawk figures out what time of the day I fly my birds, they would come and sit on a tree by my coop. So, it’s always a good idea to change the time of flying your birds. If you get attacked by them everyday, you may not want to fly your birds for a week or two. At the end of the day, there isn’t much you can do for the hawk attacks except you can minimize the risk by doing what I suggested above. Good luck.

Very beautiful birds, particularly the Iranian white with black tail. I have just started keeping pigeons in Toronto. I have some Iranians, Tipplers and Serbians. When is the atmosphere free and safe from hawks for flying pigeons in the North. I already lost too young ones in the last 3 weeks.

Nice looking birds. Excellent website. Your advice about eggs that don’t hatch is correct. Canker can be cured with "ronidazole" can be purchased at Foy's pigeon supplies or purchased at a fish tropical fish store for fungus on fish. Hope this might help.

Vu Thao

I have a pigeon that was band as a roller pigeon.. that group has a very good reputation for there rollers but that pigeon do not even attemp to roll. It's a 06 bird. Cock red with white flights.. should I breed it???? wat will the turn out be if I mated it with a roller hen??

First of all, not all rollers roll and sometimes, depending on the family of the breed, rollers don’t roll until they are couple of years old. I had an almond cock roller, the father of my current almond roller, and he never rolled. If you look at my rollers, I also have a black checker hen, and she is not rolling yet either because she is coming from a family of birds that don’t roll right away. If you breed roller with roller, you will definitely get a roller, assuming they are both same kind of rollers (Birmingham, Asian, etc.). Otherwise, you get a mixed roller. In addition, I can’t tell if the off spring would roll. Its all depends on the birds’ family, the way you fly and train them, and the way your loft is designed. If I were you, I would breed them and see what happens.

I have a female birmingham roller excellent roller but I cant get no baby from her. The chick dies few days after hatching!! help!!! what should I do?

I am not very experienced in pigeon disease either but I think you have canker issue. Your female might be a carrier and passes it to the young when she is feeding the young. Or it could be the cock that carries and passes to the young. The disease is common in 10- to 24-day-old squabs. As a method of feeding their young, pigeons regurgitate the sloughed, fat laden cells lining the crop (crop milk) into the oral cavity of the squabs. Just check to see the throat of the young. If you see any white plaques in their mouth and throat you know they have it. You need to treat the parents before they make babies. Approximately 80 percent of pigeons are infected with this organism and they need to be treaded right away. The treatment is easy but mandatory for them to raise a healthy off spring. Good luck.

Very nice site you have on the Takla, I had a type from Iraq. They are fun to fly. You are flying your birds now? Thank you for visiting my website about Adana Dewlaps and the nice comment about my birds.
http://www.geocities.com/adanawammen/index.html

Thanks Bill. Yes, I have started to fly my baby birds, and they are tail riding right now. They should start tumbling very soon. I lost two of my babies to hawks already, so I have to keep them in loft for a while and continue with their training after at least a week later.

9/4/2007


Just Curious

Hi, I do not know anything about tumblers but I am curious, in your comments on the birds u stated that quite a few of them were not performers but yet you were breeding them and hoping that the youngsters will perform. My question is will they produce performers, thanks.

The babies will perform since they are pure breed tumblers. Its in their genes to tumble when they start flying and training. I start flying 2 of my baby birds with my roller kit and they are already tail riding and will start tumbling very soon.

Karrar Aldhalimi

You got very good birds I used to breed Turkish tumblers here in Detroit but my cage got broken into and all my birds where gone I was very sad I would like to start again with your help please email me at karraraldhalimi@yahoo.com you would be a big help thank you 3134438952

Hello Karrar, and thanks for signing the guestbook. I will try to help you but you will have to wait for couple of months. I am still breeding my birds and try to get babies, so I can fly them. As, you can see I only have 20 Turkish Tumblers now, but once I get enough off spring, I will be able to share the breeders with other people. Keep in touch.

Hey buddy, nice selection of pigeons. I breed pigeons also. I used to have birmingham rollers in New York and New York flying flights. I live in Florida now, and raise a few different breeds. I have New York flying tipplers, New York flying baldies, flying helmets, racing homers and, new york flying flights. I see that you have a flying flight(almond bald head)actually, that flight is crossed with something else. Looks to me like a cross between a capuchine and maybe a flying flight or some kind of baldhead. Nevertheless, its still a pretty bird. If you have the time, take a look at my website at:
www.markspigeonpics.zoomshare.com
and enjoy the pictures. You can leave me a comment to let me know what you think. My email is flights64@yahoo.com you will see some real good pictures of my New York flying flights and other pigeons as well. hope you will enjoy.............markanthony

Tom Carden

What is the difference between the tumblers and the rollers? I always thought they were the same birds. It would be great if you could explain the difference in your website. It’s a great website btw. Do you sell these birds? I really like your tumblers.

When Birmingham rollers roll, they lose altitude. They also roll non-stop when they roll. There is also a kind called parlor roller, and this kind rolls on the floor. Tumblers on the other hand, don’t lose altitude, but instead Turkish tumblers or coop tumblers gain altitude when they tumble. They make a helicopter-like upstairs climb towards the sky, legs stretch down like they are trying to touch the ground and they tumble one at a time. You can count the number of tumbles when you see a tumbler. With rollers, you can’t count the number of rolls as they are really fast. Hope this helped. I will post some videos of both in the near future. You can clearly see the difference between them.

8/9/2007


Mike Allen

Great website. I love your birds. I never seen Turkish Tumblers before and they are beautiful. I really like the black checker with honey chest. You need to breed more of those colors.

Thanks for the complements. I will breed the black checker with honey chest as soon as I get a good hen for him. He is my best looking bird so far, and I will breed more of this color.
