Introduction

Many people thinks that the pigeons are pests and call them “winged rats”. This is harmful thinking because pigeons can be loving pets. As strange as it may seem, many pigeons are looking for a loving home. Most of them are incapable of living in the wild. There is a many species that have a different colour, various body types, and distinct voices. They are not very demanding animals, and certainly less than other birds, such as parrots. Quieter and calmer than most birds. They need a cage, adequate food that is inexpensive, and attention from a loving owner.
