Many people in the countryside keep pigeons at home, why do pigeons never land on trees?

<> there are more than 1 trillion species on our planet, researchers are not sure about most of them. According to the study, it is said that we only know less than 10% of the total species on Earth, but no more have been discovered.

One of a trillion species of birds, about 10,000 species of birds. When we look at these huge numbers, we are overwhelmed by the imagination of biodiversity between species.

As humans, we have observed that most birds make their homes or nest in trees. It's a common idea that most 'flying creatures nest in trees', but there are some exceptions.

It's quite interesting to know that pigeons never nest in trees. Yes, that's true! We will observe it so many times in our daily lives and never really notice it. Here are some of the reasons behind it, let's take a look at them one by one:

Some people also claim that pigeons nest in trees, which may be because you may see pigeons nesting in trees in rural areas (there are more trees). They are known as tailed pigeons, and they live in habitats close to forests. In the city, however, it is quite different, where we see them building their homes on buildings, bridges, or whatever provides them with shelter.

Possibility 1

Given that pigeons have a large number of natural predators outside, especially in urban areas, they prefer to nest inside buildings to protect themselves from enemies.

Possibility 2:

It is said that the pigeons we see in the city are actually rock pigeons from Europe, and their natural habitat is near the rock cliffs (hence the name "rock pigeons"). These birds build their homes or nests near buildings, windowsills, bridges, etc., which are the closest to the cliffs near the city. As a result, it is claimed that they have a natural tendency to build their nests on the closest thing to the cliffs.

It is estimated that more than 100 million pigeons inhabit every city in the world, thus living and interacting with humans, probably more than any other animal on the planet.

According to the study, the pigeon is said to be a close relative of the now extinct flightless dodo. In fact, these birds are really smart and are able to recognize people who are nice to them and can also remember the faces they touch.

Pigeons don't like to land on trees, and they are not mainly birds that catch insects, so having insects on trees has nothing to do with them. Don't like trees is the pigeon prefers a spacious and bright place, where you can stretch your wings and soar into the sky.

If a pigeon lands on a tree, it will definitely increase the intensity of the body's exertion, and it will also be difficult for itself to forage for food.

As for the pigeon does not land on the tree, it is not entirely like this, the pigeon sometimes occasionally lands on the tree, but it lands on the tree in a different way than other birds, even if the pigeon lands on the tree, it also lands on the relatively spacious oblique tree pole, which is also due to the pigeon's living habits, and the convenience of its take-off, therefore, the pigeon has its selectivity when it falls In our daily life, it is also a more common bird, but its lifestyle is not different from other birds, Pigeon nesting is also rare in the tree, in the countryside to raise pigeons, generally under the eaves with a broken bucket diagonally hung there, or with some small wooden boxes as a pigeon nest, even wild pigeons it will rarely build a nest on the tree.

The old man said that he could not keep pigeons at home for the following reasons:

First of all, the pigeon poops at will, the feces smell very big, and it is easy to accumulate over time, and then breed bacteria, which may be transmitted to people, and there is that the pigeon flies and flapps its wings will cause the respiratory tract to enter the bacteria, and children and the infirm are prone to respiratory diseases, which is naturally very bad.

Pigeons are flying animals, not that they can't be caged, or the space is too small, which is not conducive to the activities of pigeons, it is best to establish a separate pigeon loft, which is conducive to the survival of pigeons, but the pigeon loft can not be too close to the place where people live, otherwise it may spread diseases to humans, causing unnecessary trouble and disease.

Tips for keeping pigeons:

Pigeon loft construction, each pair of pigeons have their space, no matter how many pigeon lofts are no longer large, there are enough lofts to meet the needs of pigeons in different situations, pigeon at different stages, for the future management will be easier, not because of pigeons, because of the competition for the loft and inseparable.

The new loft should be disinfected in advance if necessary, and when there are pigeons inside, as long as the pigeons are healthy, try to take the pigeons less to disinfect them, so as not to disturb the pigeons, because there are very few viruses in the new loft, and the pigeons have good disease resistance, so they should not be disinfected frequently.

For the pigeon to be paired in time, the pigeon has the habit of "monogamy", the pigeon is generally born 4 to 5 months to reach sexual maturity, the male and female pigeons will chase each other to choose a mate, to artificially give timely support, if there is no mate of the pigeon, or for some reason the loss of the spouse of the pigeon, the pair is not timely, it is easy to be abducted by the pigeon, never come back.

Answer, the pigeon does not go to the tree because the pigeon after human training many habits are changed under human intervention, the pigeon that falls from the tree is not uncommon, but now the free-range pigeon personnel are relatively small, the pigeon after daily training and feeding are fixed time, with a fixed point and regular release and feeding, then the pigeon will not go to the tree to rest.

Only those pigeons that pass by during the race will fly to the Buri Chi tree for the night when they need to find a roost to sing their roost in the evening. Therefore, although the pigeons rarely land on the trees now, there are still some passing pigeons or pigeons in the loft that choose to spend the night on the trees.

It is feasible to raise pigeons, but it is more troublesome to raise, and it is easy to be infected when the bird flu is rampant, so some people say that it is not possible to raise pigeons.

Raising pigeons is a more time-consuming and place-consuming thing, and the unit buildings in the city are not suitable for raising pigeons, which is not only not conducive to the growth of pigeons, but also easy to disturb others.

Pigeons like to fly so the frequency of eating wings with their own will be high, the place where the wings and feathers are susceptible to infection, this pigeon breeder is certain to pay attention to, the main measure is to pay attention to ventilation, keep the pigeon home clean, that is to say, can not be lazy, usually to be diligent and more clean, more disinfection.
