Can a pair of homing pigeons utilize this nestbox?

I would say absolutely. I have average sized chickens (not the little bantams) and I have seen two of them in one nesting box before. From what I have seen of homing pigeons, they are smaller than my chickens.

I would say that a pair of homing pigeons could use this nesting box - but I do not have any experience at all with Pigeons but some of our hens are quite large.

I don't see why not. I have a friend whose cat uses it to stay warm sometimes. :o))))

You can, but I wouldn't . Because unless u bought them as babies together, they might not get along #1 # 2 Birds can be territorial. I have a English parakeet and he needs that much space on his own. Hope this helps.

I don't think so, but you would probably not want to use a tray on a Finch feeder even if it did attach. Finches are such picky eaters and like to perch on the small rods that I think that a tray would have them flying on to another feeder. You might want to check with Droll Yankees to be sure. Every time I have contacted them, they have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

If you leave the perches attached they can. The come off pretty easily, and since I took them off they cannot feed. The song birds can grab the mesh but the grackles and similar large birds cannot.

I doubt they will nest very well. i only have 1, but think it wont nest. let me know, also.

Havahart would be wise to devise a way to mount a Spray Away on a roof so that pigeons could be kept from landing on the roof. Pigeons would be the only birds I can think of that would be a problem.

Yes but you will have to mount the perch near the floor of the cage so he / she is not cramped.

Yes. Absolutely. I have 4 parakeets as well plus the huge nest box ( yeah, again.....). The cage is very very roomy. Order some 12 "-18" branch perches and a small spiral rope with it. There s that much room.

We have not seen any pigeons on the platform, but we don't have any in our area. We do have crows that would be about the size of pigeons, and I haven't seen them on there. I think the larger birds would have a hard time landing on this platform.

Hello we don't see pigeons around here . We do have morning doves and they never attempted to get on it. They stayed on the ground. I don't think you will have an issue; that base is too small for doves or pigeons.

No-no place to hang a nestbox on the outside of the cage. I use wicker nests inside the cage.

I don't see why not. It is a lot bigger that it looks. I have a cockatiel and he has a ladder, two hanging toys, a Booda Comfy perch, and the two wooden perches that come with the cage. I love this cage. I didn't like the food and water feeders, so I took my ones from the previous cage and set them on the bottom of the cage, in front of the back clear plastic panel. No birdseed mess! Also extremely easy to clean!

Yes, but only if you also buy the tray that mounts on the bottom of the feeder. Birds like doves cannot stand on the perches of the feeder.

That is a great question. A pigeon would be too big for this feeder. They would not be able to land. Although, they could try, of course. It is designed to both foil squirrels and pigeons and such. I hope this helps.

Yes of course they can bite if they are on the divider. But my birds rarely climb on the divider. I have a perch close to divider on both sides and they sit on their perches taking to each other. At some point I will pull the divider out and let them mate. Hopefully they will be ready when I do :-)

Yes! I have a ton of cardinals who use it every day. Now I'm seeing a bunch of fledglings. The doves are ground feeders at my place. I feed in the feeder and on the ground. Blue jays can't use it. They eat on the ground.

No; I agree with the other suggestions. However, I plan to add a roof that might keep the pigeons out.
