'Bird Week' is one of the cruel people who probably sell pigeons to horrible racing industry's. My pigeon, Apollo, was found on our driveway one morning. He was a former racing pigeon, and we kept him since his owner didn't want him anymore because he couldn't fly. His worth was in his wings, not that he was a living breathing animal with thoughts and feelings. 'Bird Week' is exactly like that guy. The pigeons are money to him, not actual living creatures. Instead of breeding, people should be adopting pigeons from shelters. Not putting more into the world. It's just a fact.
Stfu if people wana breed birds who are you to tell them they shouldn’t ! Mind your business not everyone who breeds them are killing birds or releasing them
The best way for me to tell male from female is,,,,,,,,,,,,,when they are mating, the one on top is the male. So far it has been 100 percent fool proof.
I just got my first pigeons, a mated pair of Indian Fantails & just discovered the one I thought was the female was actually a male using this exact method! Now Birdadette & Mr. Pidgerton can both have their proper names.
This is ALL bunk. Don't trust everything you see on the internet, and he is being very rough on those birds. The only one that is somewhat true is the first one. But even then, in captivity, you get situations where pidgeons will pair up in same sex couples, and sometimes one bird will behave like a male or female when they aren't. I've had pidgeons for years, and talk to a lot of pidgeon owners.
the only thing here that you can use to ID the sex of the pigeon is if he starts trying to attract her with that dance they do.. althoguh ive seen females do this on rare occasion also..
Only the first fact is a bit true otherwise all the other facts are lies and myths,the best way to identify male and female pigeon is the size of the neck and head males have bigger and fatter necks and heads and females have smaller and also the sound which pigeons make is not only made by male pigeons but females also but in females it's very rare and we can listen the sound only but when the male does it he has big neck pouch and he dances and rotates and by this method we can find out which is male and female pigeon
I thought my pidgeon was a boy but it was a female and it even acted like a male until we took the test for female gender or male gender it was a female💀💀
Thank you so much for to know. Because I went to a pet shop than he said one is the male and one is the female but he didn't show which one is the male and female so your video helped me thank you😄
You're torturing the pure pigeons . The female pigeon had no way to escape in such an small cage and the male pigeon was in pain when you pulled his beak so hard. What a coward! Why don't try to it with tigers.

PIGEONS DESPERATELY NEED HELP !! 90% of pigeons in cities die in their first year of their lifes. The others don't live longer than 2-3 years. In nature, they can live up to 12-15 years ! They have nothing to eat, they are forced to eat trash and they freeze to death. Pigeons can NOT live naturally in cities. They are only here because of breeders !!
Since a couple days ago I befriended a pigeon while out gardening I have named 'The Birb'. But we aren't close enough that I can pick it up and I don't know yet if it's safe to try (I have cats wouldn't want to spread a disease - too ignorant of pigeons right now to know if it can have The Birb flu or something. Need more research before I try handling). But I would like to know if it's a he-birb or a she-birb. I'm guessing from the video the best way would be to try to compare it when I see birb with other pigeons and see if its neck and head was on the thinner/smaller or thicker/larger half of the size spectrum compared to the others?
@@lovelyminerals7318 Oh I wasn't able too unfortunately! Soon after Birb, another pair of pigeons showed up. They were a bit of a hassle - one I called 'Bad Influence Bird', in fact, because she would tear up my garden with her friend whenever Birb would see Bad Influence Bird do that, Birb would start stomping around and pecking up a storm too. But it was okay at first! Then six more pigeons showed up, then a few more after that. Long story short, the neighborhood birds caught wind that I was feeding one of them and it didn't take very long for around ten to twelve of them to constantly be hanging around pecking up my garden and making a mess of the deck and my roof, and the once or twice a day I'd go outside to water my plants they'd all descend upon my porch thinking I was coming to feed them. It was ruining my garden and I had to pressure wash the concrete every few days. I didn't observe this directly but if they were hanging on my roof they were probably bugging my neighbors too which they probably wouldn't appreciate. So after a little over a week of that I had to stop feeding them entirely - if I fed any of them anything at all they'd all come back and stick around - eating the birdseed, eating the seeds I planted in the garden they could eat, ripping up the seeds I planted that they couldn't eat, and making a mess in between doing that. It took about a week after I stopped feeding them before they stopped coming by. No birds at all for another week after that. Since then, I think Birb comes by sometimes. I think it's Birb, at least. I think I see Bad Influence Bird and her buddy sometimes too, when I'm watering the garden or planting seeds. Birb will stand around in the grass like usual, Bad Influence Bird and her friend will peck about the garden a bit like usual but just three birds don't do much damage. I just know I can't feed them intentionally or else the neighborhood will descend again. xD
Here are 6 different ways to identify Male and Female in Pigeons 1) Rule if nature Male pigeons always tries to attract Female pigeons. Female. The male will make such sounds to attract the Female.The one making such sounds and dancing ,is the Male pigeon. 2) Magnet test Pigeons have an inbuilt magnatic field, naturally. That they use to nagivate directions. So we can use this to gender them as well. Tie a nail in a string. If the nail on the string swings back to forth...its a male. And if it moves side ways....its a Female. 3) Hold the beak test This one is quite simple...Pull the beak and hold it in place the one trying to come out of the hold is a male. This one that stays calm is the female... But this method doesn't work all the time so its better not to use it. 4) The sleep test Just do as I do.The Female will remain in this position and will be calm. Where as the male will jump off. 5) The butt test Its quite complicated to understand but Male pigeons have a complete sealed butt..Where the Females have slightly opened butt. 6) The vusual Test Well Female pigeons are very calm...they are usually smaller in size compared to the male, they have small heads and thin necks. Where as male pigeons are Alpha...big in size, have an "always active and ready to fight'' type of nature, have thick necks and heads and have an over all Bigger bone structure. That was if for this video Hope you liked it you did Hit that thumbs up button. And yeah...
No such thing as “alpha” pigeon & to suggest here that male is synonymous with alpha is just applying a sexist human interpretation. What is going on is not a display of dominance but display of agility to capture her interest.

@@ouragan5 of course. Humanity has become disappointing, but I’m glad there are still some people like you and I that truly care. Have a wonderful day :).
Why do you people think it's okay to mess with these birds? There not meant to be your pet they don't need you interfering in their lives! Get a hobby that doesn't involve helpless animal's!!!
Dude your closed captioning on you video is to fast b4 you cld even finish reading much less understand wht ur reading it’s on to the nxt screen, slow it down a little my friend….
How about just forgetting about these stupid and funny tests and simply just asking the pigeon to identify itself. Yeah, they might have Transsexual too!
