The physiological habits of pigeons

Pigeons usually mate for life and are monogamous (1 male : 1 female). The bond between the sexes is not limited to the mating period but is maintained over the long term, which is why pigeons are known as "husband-and-wife birds."

Pigeons have expressions: when happy, they hold the head high, with bright eyes, raise the head and puff out the chest, spread the wings, and even dance in the air. During estrus, the male pigeon follows the female, bobbing his head up and down and circling around her; if the female accepts mating, she spreads her wings, drags her tail, or immediately crouches down. When startled, pigeons often make calls and spread their wings to fly. When ill, pigeons often lose their appetite, lack energy, keep their eyes half open and half closed, have ruffled feathers, tuck in their heads, and often pass yellow-green loose droppings, and so on.
