Rainy Season Pigeon Care: Keep Your Birds Healthy This Monsoon

Monsoon Care for Pigeons:

During the rainy season, pigeons are prone to dampness, infections, and stress. Proper care is essential to keep them healthy and active.

Loft Management:

Keep the loft dry and well-ventilated. Fix any leaks immediately and use moisture-absorbing materials like dry straw or wood shavings. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent mold and bacteria. Install mosquito nets and provide good airflow to minimize humidity and the risk of respiratory infections.

Medicines and Supplements:

During monsoon, pigeons are susceptible to infections like coccidiosis, E. coli, and respiratory issues. Use preventive medicines as advised by avian vets (e.g., probiotics, anti-coccidials, respiratory supplements). Add immunity boosters and vitamin supplements to their diet, and always keep fresh, clean drinking water available.

Monitor your birds daily for signs of illness such as ruffled feathers or lethargy, and take prompt action if symptoms appear.
