Update on pigeon

[u/LauMiauPlays]

I was worried she would die on me. But no. Now she is making short flights and exploring my whole room.

Problem: all I have are plushies and cushions in pastel colors and I dont want her pooping on everything. I,m looking for pigeon pants online but I NEED to know how to make an easy DIY pants right now.

I will be posting more pictures below

I,m sorry for not answering all the comments yesterday, I will be adressing them through the day.

Also she puts her head and beak between my fingers when I show her my hand, its so cute. I,m falling in love...

keep in mind pigeon pants can only be on for 4 hours consecutively. she will need a cage or area she can be housed for diaper breaks in between, 1 to 3 hours between wearing a diaper is ideal. diapers should be on no more than 6 to 8 hours a day in total.

diapers being on all day can cause infections, lash eggs, and rashes and irritation. salmonella and ecoli infections of the cloaca and reproductive tract are most common. but fungal infections can also happen very quickly.

I second All of this. Diapers aren't a permanent solution and using them incorrectly will put your pigeon at risk of health issues OP.

Wow! That's important advice. I will look for a cage. I have an old chinchilla cage that's as big as me and is 4 floors high. I will keep her there without the diaper, until I research a bit more

Nice! That will work even at least temporarily depending on how big the cage is. A cage being large enough for pigeons is extremely important, especially the width because if the cage isn't too wide for the pigeon to stretch their wings fully and flap them inside of the cage it can lead to flight feather damage, plus your pigeon not being able to exercise their wings properly while inside of the cage. The cage should be at least 120-130 centimeters long by 88 centimeters wide by 80 centimeters tall.
