The Crested Pigeon comes from Australia and belongs to the Columbidae family. It owes its particularity to its long blackish crest which gives it its elegance and which it can keep erect or flattened according to its feelings, but also thanks to its black gray beak and its orbital ring which is pink-red. The Crested Pigeon has a light gray head and neck. The nape, back of the neck, mantle, back, and rump form a brownish-gray set.

The Crested Pigeon measures between 31 and 35 cm.

They are fed with a mixture of finely crushed seeds, the same as for chicks, and add little granules. These exotic birds also love to eat leaves and sometimes delight in small insects. The Lophote dove forages mainly on land. Crested Pigeons roost in the dense foliage, close to their terrestrial feeding ground.

During reproduction, do not mix the pair of Crested Pigeon with other doves or turtledoves, the male can be aggressive during this period.

Crested Pigeon can nest at any time of the year, but especially in hot weather. A pair of Crested Pigeons makes more than one brood per year. To facilitate their reproduction, all you have to do is provide high support for the nest and provide the couple with the elements to do so: straw, hay, dead leaves, and branches). The female lays two eggs per brood, the eggs are white and shiny. Brooding lasts 18 to 20 days. It is the female who incubates the eggs, but the male replaces her for 2-3 hours a day so that she can feed, hydrate, and rest.

At birth, chicks have a tawny-brown down on the top and cream-colored underneath. They take their adult colors from 13-15 days. Then, the chicks leave the nest between 16 and 35 days after birth and are able to reproduce from one year.

Ring size: 7 mm

Pigeons need to bathe, provide them with a tub once a week with bath salt. Thus, they get rid of their parasites and cool off in the summer.

The perches are indispensable for your pigeons, plan-many in the aviary. On the ground, you can put the sand into a litter that you change regularly. Your pigeons are not afraid of the cold but beware of drafts, so protect the aviary.

The pigeon is wasting the seeds, take a suitable feeder with high rims.

The reproduction of my pigeons

Couples mate and are faithful for life. When the male wants to mate, he performs a courtship display: he turns around the female, cooing and dragging the long feathers of his tail on the ground. The initiation of mating can be stimulated by a diet based on hemp seeds (hemp seed).
About ten days after mating, the female still lays 2 eggs. The male incubates alternately with his female.

They raise their young themselves by force-feeding them for 2 months. The young must be ringed at 10 days old.

The peculiarities of my pigeons

Each breed of pigeon exists in different colors. A distinction is made between fancy breeds, which are generally smaller, and production breeds which are larger.
Other than some breeds like the Texan, sexing is very difficult. Despite all the care taken in this operation, we, unfortunately, cannot guarantee their gender.

Pigeons reared in good conditions can live for many years.

Did you know that a healthy hen relieves herself 12 or 15 times a day? The cacas chicken is formed by a solid and dark part that comes from the gut and a small white part called urate. That is, chickens expel digestive waste and urine through the cloaca at the same time.

The color of the droppings reveals what the bird has eaten. If the tone is yellowish, you have probably eaten corn or tomatoes. If it is greenish, it will be due to the intake of herbs and lettuce. The black color results from a diet with wild fruits. Lastly, if the poop is white and watery, the animal will have eaten fruit that contained a lot of water. The color of the stool should alarm us if it is bright green or petroleum black, as it is one of the symptoms of salmonella and avian flu.

What does the appearance of chicken poop tell us?

Diarrhea in chickens is usually caused by eating little varied, seasonal changes or stress. When diarrhea is punctual, we should not be concerned. However, if the stools are usually liquid, they reveal the existence of a problem.

Once again, we insist on the importance of a balanced diet, since hens that eat too many vegetables and few cereal grains will present softer stools than those that eat everything.

In summer, animals drink a lot of water to hydrate. As a result, they produce more watery poop. This also happens in the rainy season. Also, make sure that no cats or foxes roam the chicken coop, because the fear it generates among the birds will cause their stomach upset.

Another problem that we can detect by observing the feces is the existence of internal parasites. For example, traces of blood are usually due to coccidium. If the hen has worms in its digestive system, it will expel worms through the cloaca. Also, some viruses cause mucus in poop.

On the other hand, a hen that only relieves herself three or four times a day is a hen with kidney problems or liver failure. These diseases are difficult to cure, so ask your vet for advice.

And finally, maintain the hygiene of the pen, because the accumulation of excrement is a source of infections for its inhabitants.
