Raising a lone homing pigeon?

raising one homing pigeon is possible. but....

it would be lonely so be sure to get find another pigeon with it. This is because pigeons are flocking birds and like to live in groups. An example is just seeing wild pigeons flying and hanging out together.

Can you train it...there are two ways in training a homing pigeon. 1) homing the pigeon to stay and not fly away from your home 2) road training your pigeon, for them to fly back home from 1 miles, 2 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles, etc.

My first question is...is this a regular pure homing pigeon or is it a pure racing pigeon? Homing pigeon's homing ability is not as good as a racing pigeon's homing ability.

Regardless, if this is an older racing or older homing pigeon then the chances of rehoming your pigeon is near zero percent...I say this because I have kept racing pigeons for more than 10 years.

i have figured out that older pigeons are a bit harder to rehome even though it is possible. If the pigeon is young and has been road trained...then trying to rehome would be similar to homing an older pigeon.

If the young pigeon has not been trained then you could rehome them but If the untrained young pigeon becomes one year or older...then there is a 30/70 chance to rehome and train because at this age they're considered an old bird.

Pigeons are best trained to home to your home at two months old and road trained when they're about three to four months old...any older then this then the chances of rehoming them is slim.

An ideal home is a coop or in this case, if you're just raising about two pigeons for fun then a rat cage. but if you plan to train your pigeons to home to your place then a coop is recommended. I recommend one pigeon per one square foot.

Hope this helps.

and that i often is the only waiting on that pigeon...even as my gran died, her daughter from California got here, disposed of each of the antiques, which on the time, were purely useable 'issues'. How I want she had had more advantageous ideal judgement!!!

it would get lonely but you could still train it.

my suggestion is to get at least 2, they would be much happier and so much easier to train.

I dont know do some research about it
