Archived from groups: rec>pets>birds>pigeons (more info?)

Hi all, We have a female blue bar, we have raised her since she was 2 days
old, we found her abandoned on the ground, and now she is almost 2 years
old she has the run of the house and sure does have her own way and wants
it, she doesn't like change and notcies anything that isn't in its place or
new. She first bonded with me and layed 2 eggs and sat on them for 3 weeks
after that she left them, approx 1 week later she went through bonding with
the wife which was the one that fed and seen to all her needs when growing
up and now each month she goes through the same thing with the wife, one
week of playing with the wife and laying 2 eggs and then sitting on them
for 3weeks then 1 week break and all starts over again.
So my question is there a way to stop her laying her 2 eggs each month as
it doesn't seem fair that she has to go through all this each month,and she
will not mix or bond with other pigeons, we thought of getting a fertile
egg off someone that has pigeons and replacing one of hers with it and
letting her raise it but then we would end up with another bird which we
don't really want, we didn't know that we would be stuck with here for life
when we rescued her in the begining but we accept the job in front of us as
we tryed to put her with someone that had birds but she just fretted and
almost died so we had to take her back , couldn't let that happen to her,
so any advice would be great.
Thanks all.
Regards
Owen.

I have had racing pigeons for a number of years,and I have seen the same
thing.
The best way to handual your situation is to get her a mate.How ever
than you would be raiseing babies that grow into larger birds and soon
you would have a mess on your hands.A femal pigeon will have in some
cases what they call heat eggs the same almost as chickens do.How ever
with out a male to bond with she will sit on the eggs for 17 to 18 days
than leave the eggs because she doesn,t feel anything in the eggs
moveing.
I wuld purchase a set of wooden eggs from a person that races and breeds
birds and let her sit on them or just keep throwing the eggs out.YOUR
choice or give her to some one that has other birds.Take care----From

Hello Owen, one thing that might help slow down the egg laying. You
need to feed her some milo. Feed her nothing but the milo. Feed on
rounded teaspoon per day. The plain feed and the amount will play
with her natural instincts. She will realize that she isn't getting
enough food to raise babies and will slow down.
