    Well those are very good questions.. At least you are trying to research before the babies arrive.. However I dont know much about Birds & Fish.. You might go onto the Internet & type in Homing Pigeons & or find a book to buy.. And I would also do the same with the fish.. Just start reading the Internet & or books of sort.. Good Luck & post pics if you can..

    ~~~Thank You Very Much {Kim} kimlovescats for the Grand Siggy~~~

    Where is the turtle going?

    Fish won't really bite, they might nibble, but it doesn't hurt. What kind of fish? How often you will need to change the water depends on what kind of fish, and the set-up.

    As for the pigeon, I hope you have a big enough cage for it, will it come with a cage? Has anyone in your family had pigeons before?

    The turtle will go back to where it came from. I think he came from somebody's house. He's my father's friend's friend. hehe. And we used to keep pigeons in our home. Do they eat differently from homing pigeons, hope not. We used to have I think 2 or 4 pigeons and they reproduced and then we had 18 pigeons. So we set them free and then they used to sit on our house top. I think I might buy a goldfish but it has a memory of 3 secs so it wont remember me. haha. And not sure about the other fish

    The pigeons will eat the same food as the homing pigeons, really, and require the same care.

    And it's a myth that a goldfish only has three seconds worth of memory, a fish will get to know you, and its routines.

    Thanks for the pictures, good to see him, and it's good that he is going back to his old owner, who must know how to take care of him!

    like was said earlier.. as for the bird.. the cage is the most important.. it should be big enough for it to spread his/her wings.. flap and maybe do a lil fly around.. unless you plan to take him/her out daily.. water should be changed daily unless needed earlier.. some birds can mess their water faster..

    and as for fish.. it depends on the fish and tank you get.. which for most you´ll need one with filtration...and sometimes heat

    you can get a Betta.. really pretty.. and you can have in a big bowl and do water changes 1-2 times a week..
    as for food you can get flakes or pellets.. also depending on the fish you get.. and consider some species CAN´T be together and some others can..
