Hi everyone. I need some advice please. I raised a babay Homing pigeon, since he was about two days old. His fleshy part of his nose was always a light pink color but now its getting darker. He/she is 10 months old now. Gets Pigeon vitamines 2 times a week (im scared i give him too much). This is the best photo I could take as he does not like the phone much.
Is it normal? Should I be worried

Looks ok to me,,Pidgies Ceres usually are pink and can lighten as they mature,,as long as it dosent look sore or excessive flaking is occurring.

It was very kind of you to help this little bird out. There are many different breeds of pigeon, some look very different. So I wouldn't assume there is an issue, unless you see a change in behaviour. If ever in doubt going to an avian vet is always a good option.


For your reference here is a link to some illnesses that pigeons can get.
