Pigeons are used as a symbol of peace and wild pigeons give much joy to folks who like to feed them in the park. Finally, pigeons have other advantages as pets. They are fairly easy to keep happy, don't tend to smell like many other animals, are generally disease-free and stay relatively quiet. People around the world keep pigeons in all manner of houses, from multi-storey lofts, to humble dove cotes. Some keep them in their attics, others in their garden sheds.
Pigeons are quite easy to keep happy.
Give them a roof over their heads, a box to have their babies, somewhere safe from predators and a little food and water and they are contented critters. In later articles we will discover more about the different types of pigeons and look a little closer at how to keep them.
