Short summary

This study explores pigeon behavior during different breeding stages in order to provide information to improve pigeon management. We observed 10 pairs of birds during incubation, 9 pairs of birds during the early nurturing period, and 9 pairs of birds with chicks older than 10 d. Results showed that females mainly incubated the eggs, with an average duration of 7.94 h d-1. Feeding and drinking behaviors also increased during the nurturing period, peaking at specific times.
