BABY is still hanging around my aviary and sleeps here at our door in the pot plant every night. She was trying to get into my aviary this morning. Going to try to catch her take her to the vet quarantine her and let her join my flock in the aviary ( hawks are starting to swarm our area). Of course I will need to look for a mate for her as all my birds are already married Oh my goodness I said no more birds but …… she has come to us …..

All you’d need to provide is your address, phone, and general availability. GLPR especially needs volunteers who can possibly overnight a bird in the event a rehab volunteer is not immediately available. Even if you have dogs or cats, it’s totally okay to stash the pigeon away in a secure box or carrier in a basement/bathroom/other safe space until you’re able to get to point B.

Please send an email to [email protected] or a message to GLPR’s Facebook or Instagram messenger if you’d like to get involved! ❤️

I AM FALLING IN LOVE ! Again ! This little young feral pigeon has decided she loves to be close to my aviary and has been here with us for a week now. I have made her a nest in my pot plant near the aviary . I saw her flying by. A lone pigeon with no flock in sight so I guess she heard my birds and decided she wants to become part of a family She is getting tamer by the day watching all of us in the garden from the aviary roof. I think she is female because when she walks near the aviary fence the males from inside are trying to woo her

FRANKIE PLAYS DEAD ! Leathers 4 Feathers Bird harness from BEVS BIRD BOUTIQUE SOUTH AFRICA or Leathers4Feathers USA

20/08/2024

Often when I'm out and about with the birds especially my Jacobin pigeon Sydney I get a boat load for questions, so here are some commonly asked and answered:

Q. Is that a pigeon?
A. Yes indeed she is a pigeon.

Q. What type of pigeon is she.
A. She is a Jacobin pigeon, a type of show pigeon breed.

Q. Do you comb her feathers to stand up like that?
A. No, her feathers are like that, Jacobins have been bred to have these ornate displays and yes she can control them to either keep them up or relax them down.

Q. Does she bite?
A. Yes she is a pigeon and will for sure express her discomfort or feelings so can bite and will bite if she feels the need. Does she generally no, but I can't say she won't.

Q. What is this thing on her with the leash?
A. This is her Flyper, it's a bird dyper and prevents mess, I also use mine with a leash as a sort of harness for her (Flypers are not recomened to be used as harnesses but my birds are well trained and accustomed to them), Sydney is recall trained and her wings are not clipped so she is trained enough to walk with me however even then I need to be cautious in my environment.

Q. How old is she? Or how old do they get?
A. Sydney is 3 years old, on average my birds live to be 10 years old.

Q. Do you sell them?
A. No, occasionally yes, however my general answer for this is no because I don't really sell unless I need space or have loose birds without pairs.

Q. Where do you keep your birds?
A. I have several that live with me in my house the rest live on the farm in lofts.

Q. Is her wings clipped? Can she fly?
A. No my birds wings are not clipped, I don't belive in clipping unless for a medical reason. Yes she can fly but is well trained though these is always inherent risk when taking your pets out.

Q. Where did you get her from?
A. I bred Sydney as I keep Jacobins, breed and show my birds.

Q. Do you have other birds?
A. Yes, I have several other pigeons in my care, from rescued birds to those I have bred myself and so forth. I also have peacocks, gueese, emu and parrots.

Q. Does she sit on your shoulder when you drive?
A. No, this is not safe for either of us so instead she has a carrier that she goes into to safely travel.

Q. Do you hand rear your birds is that why they so tame?
A. This is a yes and no question, Sydney was had reared, however I prefer parent raised birds and they can be just as tame and easy to train as a hand reared one, Hallie for example was parent raised.
Picture of Sydney and I for attention

WARNING: Dear customers and friends. PLEASE NOTE ! Flypers are not to be used as a secure harnessing system for your birds. They are primarily used for p**p control but do include a leash ring should you need to have him on a leash. Flypers can be used for leashing if you are in a secure space where your birds cannot fly away into the skies. Even if you have a tame bird and are walking outside with him on your shoulder he can get spooked and fly off. Predators have been know to take a bird from its humans shoulder ! Even if your bird is wearing his FLYPER to control the p**p and you take him outside into the open Air Do carry him in your hands close to your body. You can wrap him in a small towel or cloth which makes holding easier . We do supply strong harnesses ( without the diaper part! ) if you wish to take your bird out safely ( but as I said beware predators) Please see this warning which we have printed on each package insert we supply. BEVS BIRD BOUTIQUE. Please share this post with your other birdie friends !

JUST AN INTERESTING FACT !! The first bird diapers to be patented were done so in 1959. They were invented and patented by a lady named Bertha Dlugi ! Well done Bertha on your idea which has gone forward allowing lots of birds plenty of out of the cage time. Really glad though that the styles have evolved I don’t think my birds would tolerate a strap around their necks !

It has just come to our attention that another bird diaper manufacturer who was previously trading off our brand name HAS NOW totally copied our FLYPER mini style ( also calling it a mini by the way ! ) my goodness people have no scruples !!! They say copying is the best form of flattery !!!! Please note that the quality being offered now by them comes nowhere near to the BEVS BIRD BOUTIQUE quality at all Beware of fake knock offs !
