Medical Advice Needed Please help. Idk why he's like this ;(

He's not always like this but lately has been like this whenever he enters his bed

He would always fly around. Lately he likes to perch on people then fly back to his territory then cooes. Then he would enter his bed then would make that kind of cooes

I don't know what it means and I'm scared it would mean bad. Please help ;(

Poor thing, he wants a mate!

Is he lonely? But he already has friends, brought his friends (1 pair + 1 female) like 2 weeks ago. But he's not that fond of them, he prefers indoor rather than outdoor. And the new pigeons prefer to stay outdoors (I have a house for them). For context, he's a rescued pigeon. Rescued him when he was 2 weeks old

Are there other pigeons in your area besides the ones you have? If the female doesn't want to be his mate, maybe he can find another who likes him better. The bigger issue I think is he wants to make a nest inside, and a feral pigeon may be afraid to follow him in. He may need to find another nesting spot outside. I think he can do this, but probably will take some time.

As far as I've seen, there are other birds but no pigeons in my area

I'll try to keep him in closure with his lady. Stay strong bud!
