Glacier is a very skittish bird who would do better in a loft or aviary than a household.
Warning: Ice pigeons are a very dust-heavy breed!
There is a screening process to make sure he goes to the home that he best fits.
While we prefer local pick up, shipping is available via USPS
The Ramsey Loft is an aviary in Hephzibah Ga. specializing in raising and rescuing pigeons.
Our birds are handled from hatching to make the most docile, tractable pets.
We are currently working on our own breed of pigeon selectively bred and trained specifically for therapy work.
Blending the breeds most healthy, tractable, curious, outgoing, and attentive to their handler, we keep a breeding flock capped at eight pairs.... (read more)
Whenever a keeper baby reaches 6 months, the adult of the same sex that fits our program least well retires and is made available to the public.
Babies not intended to keep for breeding have their temperaments carefully evaluated and those with the temperament for it receive a modified version of the primer training that service puppies get, including treat priming, a few simple commands, practice unboxings, harness work, loading/unloading into a carrier, car ride evaluation, and trials in pet friendly public settings.
We also start them on potty training.
Yes, of course, we still rescue pigeons and doves of all varieties. Their adoption fee is $20, regardless of age, temperament, background, or medical history.
