Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Nova! Are you ready to embark on a soaring adventure with the one and only Nova, the most dashing domesticated pigeon in town? If you're in the mood for a chat, Nova is an excellent listener and an expert eavesdropper. Share your secrets, your hopes, or your funny anecdotes with this winged confidant, and Nova will keep them tucked away securely in their pigeon heart. With proper care, pigeons like Nova can live for 15+ years! Pigeons can form close bonds with their humans - however, they are communal and are happiest when they have pigeon companions, as well. That being said, it will be important to quarantine them before adding them to an existing flock. Pigeons do best in a large aviary-type housing with other pigeons, but if you choose to house them in a cage, they will need an extra large flight cage. You will need to offer Nova opportunities for bathing, as well as a variety of perch styles and shelves, to promote good foot health. Nova will need a high quality dove grain mix as well as grit, a calcium supplement, yummy millet sprays, greens, and minced veggies for treats. But it's not just about the food for Nova; this debonair bird has a few other talents up their feathered sleeve. With their gentle coos in the morning, they serenade the dawn, providing the perfect soundtrack to start your day. Picture yourself sipping your coffee while Nova fills the air with their melodic melodies. It's like having a personal avian DJ! Hurry up and adopt this dashing bird before someone else snatches them away! Just remember, when Nova enters your life, your heart will truly take flight! Don't forget to bring a travel carrier for a safe journey home!
