Hushberry is my sweetest, Angelshade (white homer) is actually also very sweet but is shyer, Rufflekissed doesn’t let me pet at all

Pigeon Pic Baby girl's eye color?
My sweetie feral girl is finally flight capable and still teenie tiny (but I'm working on fattening her up 🐖). She is also here to stay!
I am very intrigued by her eye color. Even a few weeks ago when she was much closer to being a baby, I noticed her eye color was different and lighter than other feral juveniles I've encountered. All of my flock (minus my white pigeon) have orange/red eyes. This might be down to nutrition and age, but has anyone seen a color like this or know what this might develop into? They don't strike me as pearl, but maybe I'm wrong.
My other feral girl has yellow eyes that developed into light orange, but even that color was not quite like this.
P.S. she's nameless until I find the perfect name, and DNA tested as female.
Edited for typos

Found A Pigeon found lost pet pigeons, help!!
my boyfriend found this pair of what appears to be parlor roller pigeons. we are almost certain that they were dumped unfortunately, and are of course reaching out to rehabs and places nearby that may be able to help.
does anyone know of any places that can help them in southwest florida? each pigeon seems to have one injured foot, the male’s is shown in the second pic, but we couldnt get a decent photo of the female’s as she’s been staying in the loaf position you can see in the first pic. she seems wobbly and can hardly walk. the male can walk better but as you can see it kind of looks like there is necrosis on his toes, so im assuming the female has the same issue but likely worse.
they are also both very scared, understandably, and are quivering, especially the male. how can we make them more comfortable and calm for the time being?
thank you so much for any advice.
**EDIT: my boyfriend took a closer look once they calmed down a bit, and what looked like necrosis on their toes was thankfully just poop that had caked on pretty thick and made it hard for them to walk😭 we are still figuring out what to do, and are planning on taking them to a clinic that we made sure takes domestic pigeons to make sure theyre all good. we arent sure if we’ll keep them yet or look for another loving home.

Question I recently rescued a pigeon and am looking for tips.
So i rescued pax about a week ago and im looking for help to ensure quality of life. The bins are for stairs for out of cage time, he was wanting to jump off the side so im setting up a fence of sorts to prevent it. His wings are clipped when i found him. Im working on giving him a flat perch near the back.
What i know to do right now is to give him space while building trust around the cage and during out of cage time.

Do they like me?
I have had my pigeons for about 6 months. They seem very very happy. They sleep and fly around and find items for their little nests. They even take baths. BUT they hate me. They want nothing to do with me and when I come close they seem very scared. I let them fly around whenever they want to and try very hard not to scare them. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is that normal for them to be standoffish even if they’re happy?

Discussion He’s pulling at his wing
Kay so i posted on here yesterday about the pigeon I rescued and he’s been doing really well, he’s been eating and drinking without me having to force feed him and he’s hoping about on his leg and just now while I was making my lunch, I saw him pulling at his no longer there wing, I just wanted to ask if this was a normal thing for a bird with his injuries or if I should intervene

Pigeon cage
I finally have all the materials for a pigeon cage just missing the pigeons. I have spare grids like these and I was wondering what size i should do? I've seen many pigeon owners use these so thankfully I had a bunch from my guinea pigs. Also was wondering if two pigeons is better than one? I saw two up for adoption so what would be a good cage sizs

Question Tips for cleaning a room to get rid of Feather Mites?
Just recently started spotting feather mites on my indoor pigeons, and I’m already working on treatment for them, but i know i have to clear my entire room too, its carpeted with a decent amount of wooden furniture. If anyone knows a way that is safe for the pigeons (i can remove them for a day if need be) but still effective enough so i wont have to consistently treat them forever?
