Re: Hi, from Kalyan, India

Today my parrot flew away through the front door. This is the second time. The first time it flew out the door at ~50 days old. It couldn't reach a height so it sat on a wire 10 meters aways. I ran in my underwear(its summer season) and grabbed it quickly, brought it back to the house. This is the s...

Re: Hi, from Kalyan, India

Re: Hi, from Kalyan, India

I've bred a colony of pigeons in the past as a hobby. I used wooden door boxes for them.

Do RN's in the wild prefer resting on a branch or a nest hole?

edit: I've added pics in the first post
