Extractions: var animation_p1="KURT'S PIGEONS"; KURT'S PIGEON'S Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. My name is Kurt Walker and I live in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. I have put together this website with the hope that it might help those just getting into pigeons as well as those that have been raising pigeons for years. I do not claim to be an expert, but I have spent quite a bit of time studying the hobby. For those interested in starting, I would give a few recommendations. First, read the book Pigeons: everything about purchase, care, management, diet, diseases, and behavior of pigeons : with a special chapter, Understanding pigeons by Matthew M. Vriends, . It gives a lot of good information, from how to build a loft, to different breeds of pigeons. Next, visit a pigeon show near you. There are so many different breeds of pigeons. This will give you a good idea on what is out there, and also give you the chance to find and talk to breeders. The internet can also be a big help. And last, join a local pigeon club. Nothing can be better for the new fancier than to probe the minds of the experts.

Extractions: WELCOME I began this web page primarily for the beginning flier...There are LOTS of great sites on the web (my favorites are on my links page), but I wanted to do something just a little different. As a beginner, you find that the more you learn the more you need to know. I was lucky enough to find a great group of people who helped me with my endless questions. Most of which I still bother regularly!! So to that end, I tried to create a web site with some useful information and a LOT of good links. In the following pages you will find out a little about me and hopefully a lot about pigeons. I will be updating this site, adding information and links, as the racing seasons change and to address any comments or questions anyone has. On a personal note.. I'd like to say thanks to; Matt, Frank, Cajun, Larry, Tony, Blue Grizz, Wil, ID, Will, Darkcheck, Wayne..and all the others who have helped me. I'd especially like to thank Dan, without his help this page would never have gotten out of my head and onto the web! So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy yourself...

MX145 Controlling Nuisance: Pigeons
Controlling Nuisance pigeons. Common pigeons are introduced birds, thought to have ties with the rock dove, or pigeon, of Europe, Asia and Africa.
http://muextension.missouri.edu/explore/miscpubs/mx0145.htm

Extractions: Agricultural University of Missouri Extension Missouri Department of Conservation U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Common pigeons are introduced birds, thought to have ties with the rock dove, or pigeon, of Europe, Asia and Africa. Over much of the United States, especially in urban areas, they are a nuisance. From a biological, pathological, or aesthetic standpoint, pigeons may be objectionable. They harbor diseases communicable to man, and their nesting and roosting areas are dirty. Many broods are brought off during the year, with birds nesting from late winter throughout the summer to early winter. They have a long life span. Roosts. Measures to eliminate roosting sites seem costly, but the long-term effectiveness justifies the expense. Openings in lofts and towers, behind signs and under eaves can be screened with rust-proof wire of 3/4-inch mesh that also will keep out sparrows and starlings. Roosting on ledges can be discouraged by wire net covering, or by wood or metal sheathing installed at a sharp angle. Sharp wire projectors and electric wire devices are available commercially to protect ledges and sills. Nests.

http://www.si.edu/resource/faq/nmnh/passpig.htm

Extractions: The Passenger Pigeon Information or research assistance regarding the passenger pigeon is frequently requested from the Smithsonian Institution. The following information has been prepared to assist those interested in this topic. The extinction of the passenger pigeon is a poignant example of what happens when the interests of man clash with the interests of nature. It is believed that this species once constituted 25 to 40 per cent of the total bird population of the United States. It is estimated that there were 3 billion to 5 billion passenger pigeons at the time Europeans discovered America. Early explorers and settlers frequently mentioned passenger pigeons in their writings. Samuel de Champlain in 1605 reported "countless numbers," Gabriel Sagard-Theodat wrote of "infinite multitudes," and Cotton Mather described a flight as being about a mile in width and taking several hours to pass overhead. Yet by the early 1900s no wild passenger pigeons could be found. One of the last authenticated records of the capture of a wild bird was at Sargents, Pike County. Ohio, on 24 March 1900. Only a few birds still survived in captivity at this time. Concerted searches were made and rewards offered for the capture of wild passenger pigeons. From 1909 to 1912, the American Ornithologists' Union offered $1,500 to anyone finding a nest or nesting colony of passenger pigeons, but these efforts were futile. Never again would man witness the magnificent spring and fall migratory flights of this swift and graceful bird.

Pigeons
pigeons, Rock Dove Pigeon. Nuisance pigeons can ruin the looks of your building as well as pose a health threat to employees and guests.

Extractions: Rock Dove Pigeon Nuisance Pigeons can ruin the looks of your building as well as pose a health threat to employees and guests. Pigeon droppings contain uric acid that actually eats into the surface it drops on. Painted surfaces, canvas awnings, signs and other similar surfaces pose the most risk. Dried bird droppings can contain many fungal and viral diseases that can represent a serious liability to your company. Histoplasmosis, Encephalitis, Meningitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, and Salmonella are just a few of the common viral and bacterial diseases that have been associated with bird droppings. Fleas, Ticks, Mites, and Lice are just a few of the parasites that have been associated with Pigeons. Pigeon Droppings On Chair Wild Feral Pigeons or rock doves are a direct descendant of the ancient Roman Homing Pigeons. Feral Pigeons are non-migratory meaning that they are often born, live and die in the same place. Once a building becomes home to pigeons, they are there for life. As a descendant of homing pigeons, feral pigeons are good flyers sometimes flying at speeds of up to 80 MPH. Trapping and Relocation may seem like a good idea, but once you travel out in the country somewhere to let them go, they will fly right back. They have an excellent sense of direction and can find their way home from many, many miles away. Histoplasmosis is a common respiratory infection that is associated with Pigeon droppings. Histoplasmosis is caused by humans inhaling fungal spores that have cultivated on pigeon droppings. It has flu like symptoms that can persist for several weeks and that even some doctors can't diagnose. Fleas, ticks and other parasites are also known to be spread by pigeons especially near water sources where they clean themselves and pick the parasites off and drop them on the ground or eat them.

Project Wildlife: Living With Pigeon
Living With pigeons PIGEON FACTS. Doves and pigeons are members of the pigeon order (Columbiformes), in which there are 17 reported species in North America.
http://www.projectwildlife.org/living-pigeon.htm

Extractions: Living With Pigeons PIGEON FACTS Doves and pigeons are members of the pigeon order (Columbiformes), in which there are 17 reported species in North America. They include the mourning dove, or turtle dove (Zenaida macroura), found in all 48 contiguous states; the rock dove, or common domestic pigeon (Columba liviat), introduced into the U.S. in the 1600s; and the band-tailed pigeon (C. fasciata), found only in far western states. Another indigenous species, the passenger pigeon, was the most numerous bird (estimated at 3 to 5 billion) in North America in the 1600s but became extinct in the late 1800s due to hunting and deforestation for agriculture. Pigeons are larger than doves and tend to have square or rounded tails. Pigeons range from 6 to 15 1/2 inches long. With 17- to 19-inch wingspans, they are strong flyers. They are plump birds with small heads and thick gray, brown, or bluish plumage, usually varied in color with some iridescent feathers. They have many color variations due to inbreeding. Some species migrate annually; but others, especially the rock dove, stay in their home territories. Doves and pigeons are known for their low, cooing voices. Rock doves (also known as homing pigeons) have become domesticated birds; however, they ordinarily are not kept as pets (although they do make very good pets) but are bred for racing, exhibition, laboratory work, and meat. During wartime, pigeons have served many nations as message carriers. They were also used in plastic boxes mounted under helicopters; when they saw a yellow or orange life raft, they would peck on a button and alert the pilot of shipwreck survivors; they saved many humans. Pigeons have now developed bad reputations in cities as disease carriers and general nuisances. Their role as disease carriers has been exaggerated.
