Ahh yes, to please the bird you must marinate the bird.
😂♥️
I love how you anticipate her needs. You can tell that she sees you as a partner/friend/caretaker.
❤️❤️❤️always working to provide for the floof
I have a white canary.
He loves to bathe every day
Tulula is well fed
1 year ago I rescued an old dove (I think he's around 20yo) that belonged to my grandma. Sadly my grandma had no idea how to take care of birds and only gave him basic care and left him in a garage because "it's too dirty to be in the home" (yea grandmas reasoning). The garage had some windows for light at least.
Took months for this cutie to snap out of years of solitude and open up to me. I remember the dead eyes he had at first. But now he's so happy to live and I love him so much. I just want to make sure he lives the best life.
My only concern is that he never had bath and as much as I want to give him idk how and if I should insist because of his age, his past, the fact he's so clumsy when he tries to fly and that he doesn't get out of the cage by himself.
Give him a bath he will love it!
Thanks for his rescue
Poor baby. I'm so glad you got him and you have his best interests at heart. That Dove is going to view you as his lifelong mate. He truly loves you.
Awwww Tallulah is so pear-shaped ❤️❤️❤️❤️ this was too cute!!!! i especially love how she was lounging in her tub so relaxed 🥰
Lily just had a bath just now too! ☺️
Nothing more adorable then a little pigeon having her bath!!!🥰❤️🥰❤️. I love sweet Lily’s flower baths💕🌸
Tallulah seeing her little "bathtub" : oh, looks like good drinking water ! oh no i put my foot in it ! time to panic and pretend to fly ! wait, no, let's drink again. oh well, i should maybe take a bath in it after all
😂❤️ she’s such a little character! I love the little hop of “Yucky wet feets!” When she’s heading back
Look up fancy pigeons. There are seemingly unlimited versions of fancy pigeons. Yours is a beauty!
I've had my pigeon/dove for about 6 days now and your videos have helped so much in learning behaviors and generally taking care of him. Thanks and love your dedication absolutely
I didn't know pigeons and doves were the same bird. 🕊
This beautiful birds knows she is special.
Seems to be preening for the camera
I always lay down a bath towel on the table then I add water to their bath (water flies EVERYWHERE) dish.I also add white vinegar to the water which is great for the feathers. Add a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar and that keeps away the mites and lice. You can also add bath salts made for just pigeons to their bath water. Never give you bird a bath on a cold ,windy, raining day. Keep them warm and your bird will love you.
Great addition, thanks for sharing!
That bath towel is essential! LOL. Mine leaves the bath and goes directly to my sheepskin rug. On warm days it's in front of the fan.
As my baby pigeon grows, she spends more time grooming than I do. I can't imagine spending that much time on my hair and nails and bathing. Our dogs watch in amazement as Poe began bathing in their water bowl. "You're giving YOURSELF a bath???" She is a "feral rescue". She was blown down in a storm and came right to my back door to flap and peep. I taught her eating and drinking, but the bathing she did by herself. She practices flying in place, or in front of a fan. She walks a lot although she can fly, she follows my chihuahua around the house and yard. He looks like a grouchy old man, but he has a soft spot for birds. If they are out together, he will bark at any approaching cat. She is so VERY affectionate! Very jealous of my laptop and mouse, she'll come over and began to preen my hand or just lay on the mouse. She tries to preen the chihuahua but he will not tolorate it. He'll just keep moving away. She seems to be picking up on a lot of behaviors on her own (as opposed to "training") I love your videos, and Tallulah is GORGEOUS!
These doves are wholesome
This was too adorable to watch. Such beautiful birb
You are definitely an animal lover 😁 I rescued a baby rock dove and named her Olivia. She's the cuutest lil turd and your videos very much help me to understand her! Thanks keep up the good work!!👍
I love Tallulah’s sweatpants
Watching Tallulah take a bath is precious!
She's so cute! I wish i could tame a bird here in my yard or at least pet. I love pigeons so much :(
She's so beautiful :-)
Nice vlog nice pigeons
can i just say im really proud of you for bonding with Tallulah so much despite their starting condition
It’s been my privilege 🥰
That's fine but do I still get to keep my money 😭
That's one fluffy marshmallow 😁
This is SO CUTE ❤️ my racing pige rescue surprisingly loves being misted with the hose and doesn't even mind if I use the jet to clean the poo from surfaces, he does bathe in his bath too but haven't witnessed it yet! I love watching the woodpigeons have their baths too and fill it everyday in summer for them, lovely peaceful souls they are ❤️
I got my dove when he was 45 days. A friend had raised him from hatching, so he didn't have other birds to learn from. I had for 1 week when he first ventured in the water. After that, it was about 2 months before he did again. His favorite part is when I blow-dry him. With low heat of course.
aawww she’s so cute!!! bowling pin shaped 🥰🥹
She is beautiful and thank you for offering advice on Dove/Pigeon care
My Peeta is a Rescue Feral Pigeon and after months of Rehabilitation in my Home made a Complete Recovery
He likes me to hold him under a sink faucet mild running water Twice a week to control the dust Funny thing he sees me as his Mate and signals with his head that he wants his back and body massaged They are extremely intelligent and communicative and have enjoyed his companionship for over 10 years
He repeats my Cooing sounds with a special one at night The best diet is Pigeon/Dove seed Not Wildbird Feed
He loves his toys and mirror and takes my discarded paper by himself to line the bottom. Of his cage
The small boxes I give him he rearranges them and hides his toys
He is a Joy to watch and be with
And I wish you many enjoyable years with your Dove❤👩🦳
She’s just exquisite. What a lucky birdie to have found you.
Thanks! This was helpful to know that I just have to keep trying!
Aww your bird is just 💝
They're so sweet
This is really helpful. Thank you so much for sharing these videos. Much love ❤
Sooooo thanks. This video is very helpful 😁
My pigeon didnt wanna bathe until i slapped an airstone in there to get some nice movement. It was almost immediate after that. Give it a shot if your bird isnt bathing!
Thanks so much, my little sick pigeon seems to be on the mend and I am beginning to think of baths. I just ordered a foldable dog crate for taking my cat on holiday and think I could probably use it to let the pigeon bathe once it's recovered a bit more. I don't want to risk chills at the moment as its really cold but, in a little while, if it keeps up the progress, I think it will be good to lift its mood a bit more. You have been wonderful, bringing up things that I may have missed in making a nice environment for recovery.
Thank you so much for making these vids! I’m going to put this comment on all of your vids to help boost your videos, but you’ve helped me SO much!!! It’s hard to find sound info on pigeons, and your channel has literally saved my butt when it comes to research. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
11:30
Instructions unclear, soup is still alive.
thank you for your video. I found an injured pigeon And im currently fighting to save its life, she seems to want to fight as well. the info about the poo was very helpful.
Splish Splash 🥰
I have a pigeon now and tell your pigeon she is pretty.
wow she is sooo cutyyyy😍🤤😘
The almighty floofer
actual bathing starts at 11:06 btw :)
Animals pooping before or after a bath is normal tbh, Water relaxes the muscles, anxiety causes the body to void the bowels, even with animals that are fine with baths
Hey Eden, your videos have been super helpful. I’m wondering if you could talk about brooding behaviour in pigeons and how you go about replacing the eggs that Tallulah make with fake eggs? If the pigeon sees you as their partner do you have to help “sit” on the eggs too?
She said Tallulah doesn’t actually lay eggs
My pigeon lays eggs. I don't sit on them but I often tend to them so she can stretch her wings, get some food and water and lastly, take a poo.
I started wondering about that, mine is about seven weeks? She's fully fledged and skillful at flying. Still "speaks" in her baby voice. I'm told it will be another week or two til cooing. She goes out in the garden with me and checks out local birds, no other pigeons around???? If I understand correctly, she'll be seeking a mate soon. Not sure how that will go. If they are like chickens, she'll start laying eggs whether or not she ever finds a mate. Not sure what we are supposed to do at that point....????
Very helpful video. Which of your videos shows Tallulah eating and drinking?
why does my pigeon keep looking dirtier every time she bathes?
what morph is Tallulah shes so cute
To be specific a video of her eating and drinking out of a dish alone. How often does she eat and drink per day please?
hi! my bf and i recently got a homing piegon and can not figure out what size he would be for a leash & harness would you help us?
What is the best food to feed your pigeon.
Hi! Question: how do you deal with vacation, do you take her with you or would you stay at home for her? Thanks!
What do you do to manage mites and lice?
👌👍✅
is epson salt good for the pidgeon's bath?
Two days ago I got a Dove who hit with fan..His One wing has broken now.But he is fine alittle bit but he is weak and I don't know that how to give him bath or not. Because he is injured..plZ tell me can I take bath him now????
My pigeon doesn't come near me , pls help me . I bought them yesterday. I bought a pair.
Dust? I call that pigeon glitter.
Yes loft
i bought two feral fantails today. they are constantly in their 'puff-up' and 'tail flair' position :(
Recently I’ve been taking care of a wild pigeon by giving it food and I made it a shelter and I put out water everyday it will drink the water but wont enter its shelter IK worried for it because it’s raining a lot and is cold outside I even put food on the inside to lure it in but it didn’t work what do u do
Good job for trying to help. It’s not unlikely that he’s scared of the shelter (they are often pretty timid), you could either continue to leave it out there in the hopes she becomes more comfortable with it over time, or you could make a new one that will hopefully be less intimidating (having it be just a roof with maybe one wall on the side the wind comes from could help, since it would be less dark). But since some birds love small houses and others don’t,you’d just have to experiment. Just be sure it’s nice and high, as most birds are strongly adverse to sleeping on the ground (or on say, a deck floor)
Silly Columbidae distracting me from listening to words 😭
since their feathers are rather sticky, how should you pick up your bird in order to wrap them in a towel ?
I lay it out and ask her to step into the middle, then carefully wrap her.
@@animalpeople880 oh okay thank you ! does it need training for her to let herself be wrapped in the towel ? or at least stay on it while you're wrapping her
@@gylfie7 I didn’t train it (aside from the previous step up/down training to put her on the towel) since she took to it right away, but it would be simple to train that behaviour if needed.
@@animalpeople880 okay thank you !
Hello Eden, your videos have inspired me to get a pigeon and I just picked her (I think) today. I let her walked into the cage by herself as recommended by you, took her more than an hour. She behaved very tamely, did not bite or run away from my hand when I wanted to remove something from the cage. Quick question - do you advise me to grab her for a quick bath within these few days? I think she badly needed one.
Congrats on the new addition! Since being grabbed and manually washed is a pretty terrifying experience I’d only recommend it if there’s a medical reason, such as removing a toxin (if they got something like oil or paint on themselves) or treating external parasites. Beyond that offering a bath should be adequate, even if it takes a while for them to do it.
@@animalpeople880 Thanks Eden (hope I didn’t get the name wrong). Took the cage out to the yard and used the sprinkler on her today, she seemed ok. So now is back to trying to get her comfortable with me based on your steps. Let’s see how it goes.
@@animalpeople880 another question if you don’t mind… do you cover the cage at night?
@@zewt great idea for a compromise on a bath for the time being. You got my name right. I don’t cover her cage since Tallulah is prone to night-frights (when birds get freaked out by something they either heard/saw/dreamed and panic. Often flapping, running into walls/falling off purchase and platforms) so she has no cover and a night light instead (the best way to solve that issue). I have had other birds that didn’t get night-frights and where prone to staying up when there’s a little bit of light so they did have cage covers. Whether not to cover the cage is mostly dependent upon your households schedule and the birds individual needs. The fact that you’ve been doing research gives you two a big head start in your relationship. I wish you two all the best!
@@animalpeople880 Thanks Eden, guess I need to do more observation. And guess what, I figured what seeds she likes best and took out those she likes and offered with with my hand holding a bowl…. She came and eat after I waited about 15 minutes. What a breakthrough.
What size cage do you recommend for a pigeon? Also what type of cage?
I like not using one at all whenever I’m in a living arrangement that makes it safe for her to do so. But as far as cage size 42″ wide, 27″ deep, 30″ high is the current standard. XL or XXL dog crates are perfect if you don’t have other pets in the house.
@@animalpeople880 I have a xl kennel but I just wanted to make sure that it was a good size thank you!
I have a breeding pair that don’t care for me *too* much but rather keep to themselves. However, they both do not know how to bathe.
That isn’t a bird
That is a cloud
"She is her own person" - lol. Just as well that she doesn't speak English with that shameful tale of inadequate hygiene aired for all to know. How long does it take you to help Tallulah bathe every day? Is there a routine time?
Haha, her baths average 15 minutes, but it’s not uncommon for her to lounge and soak for a while after.
@@animalpeople880 I note the avoidance of chemicals and imagine your house to be like 1870 or something. 15 minutes every day is a commitment. Preferable to walking a dog so that a golden nugget can be relieved though!
@@pdsnpsnldlqnop3330 yeah, since they have such sensitive respiratory systems it limits when can be around them. There are lots of cleaners, scents, cooking appliances etc that aren’t allowed in my house for her safety. It is, but she’s so adorable I don’t mind.
Koe aisa hai jo india se hai translate this into english pls then you come to know what I am trying to say
did you have to use a baking dish? 💀
Can I dry them in microwave?
😂😳 good gods, I’m gonna go with no😂
That bird would be cooked 🍳😂
@@animalpeople880 joke. : will never do that … jeez …..
@@BirdBath1 perhaps defrost portion !
