QuestionHi, I plan to keep a pigeon as a pet. There are several options, I'd like to know among the following pigeons, which one doesn't really make a good pet and why: diamond pigeon, mourning pigeon, old german owl, white pigeon and tumblr pigeon.
Thx in advance.
AnswerIt depends on what you are expecting from your pet! Diamond Doves and Mourning Doves are both domesticated but for a relatively short time and so are not as tame as domestic Pigeons. The German Owl and Tumbler will make great pets if handled correctly.
The best pet pigeon possible would be one that is taken from the nest at around 15 days old and hand raised. You should only keep one bird so as to keep it focused on you. Also, males make better pets than females.
Good luck!
