Not sure yet lol, I want a sun conure prob but I'll go for anything thats young.

I'm tired of pigeons dieing and other birds because they have outlived there life span, I want a bird to be with me at least almost all my life .. I might just re-home all my pigeons because I'm scared of them getting killed in the sky by a hawk or dieing of old age which can be only 16 years average if your luck 20.

I have been having a hard time in my family right now and I don't have room for all these birds as I'm up to twenty somthing right now, I know I'll miss them but it's the best chioce for me right now .. I think I'll still keep a few pigeons tho because I love watching them fly.

Sun conures have a life span of 20-30 years.
Shiney can live a long time too 20 years.Cats live around 18-20+ years(i read you are getting a cat)Meadow and Cherokee can live a while too.

Conures are beautiful. I believe we had one in our Pets Unlimited. It was a sweet thing. I would sit on the floor and talk to it and pet its little feet. Whenever I would walk away and then come back it would run to the front of the cage and jump on it and everything and be all excited.

Good luck with choosing your Conure, and good luck with choosing whether to give up your pigeons or not. I'd take one of them in a heartbeat but at the moment I don't think it would be possible.

I knew that pigeons had a short life span when I got them but for some reason I never thought of getting a conure after Argranade (my fav pigeon) died.

People make mistakes, also I already have to sell some as I bought them for that purpose if you remember that site I made for the selling of birds .. including those budgies and quails.

I'm going to keep my favourite pigeons only but I'm still getting a conure & as for the kitten that's somthing my mom wanted too but now she changed her mind .. it would have been intresting to have a kitten around.

I don't think it's such a big deal to rehome pidgeons anyway. They aren't like some pets that are dependent on their owners and will have trouble adjusting.

Exacly, pigeons are traded and sold all the time, pigeons altho can become very attacthed to there owners but some are just so scared they won't care where thet go next. Yes I love my pigeons very much but I do breed them sometimes and just sell them.There poultry birds and not your regulare pet.

They can be awsome! pets tho like Windspirit will follow me outdoors or MoHawk loves to cuddle and play with my hands lol.

I disagree.I think it is.I think rehoming any animal is stressful and they may not be as dependent on there owners as some animals but it is still hard on them.I think it is just a BIG Deal as rehoming a dog or cat or exotic.

Agranade, I respect you and your privacy, but what is happening back home? If you don't want to say it publicly, you can PM me (or not). If you're not comfortable telling me, I understand. It just concerns me that you're thinking of rehoming most of your beloved pigeons and, in your previous thread, you said you weren't going to school. It's a little concerning and I'm honestly a bit worried for you and your situation. I also wanted to pop in because I was never a fan of rehoming pets and then getting other ones. It just doesn't strike me as being very responsible..

Also, conures (and cats!) are a lot of work. The work of a conure is comparable to your 20 pigeons ;) Besides, I'm going to take a guess and say you're still pretty young. Honestly, we young'ns have fluctuating desires. One day, you may want to rehome your pigeons and the next day you can't imagine life without them. Weigh the pros and cons and do what's best for your pigeons, your pets. I hope you're alright, though :)

Exactly!! How can rehoming a pigeon be treated so diferently than any other animal?? It is your pet!! no different than a dog, or cat ect.... It just seems like everytime i turn around you are constantly trading one animal for the next! Do you not get attached?? its not like every year either, you seem to be doing this every month!! I am just confused by your actions!:confused:

If you remember this thread ... http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...ghlight=pigeon

Those are the pigeons I'm selling, I deleted the site because it was dumb lol.

If it seems I do it every month that's because I buy and sell pigeons to breeders, I don't keep them all as pets.
