Construction dovecote:
Equipment.
AT dovecote every dove must have its own seat and nest (for breeding chicks).
During the cold winter months pigeons in the dovecote a significant part of the day is spent on perches.
Boxes are cardboard.
Feeders.
Baths.
Frequent bathing promotes health and tidiness pigeon.
Especially in hot summer months for moisture to hatch eggs.
Litter
Large sawdust is covered in winter.
Litter makes cleaning easier dovecote and is necessary for the period of mating and brooding.
You can put straw, hay and small twigs.
Inventory.
Care pigeons.
AT dovecote we remove the litter regularly.
Feeders, drinkers, nests and bathing tub once a month, rinse, rinse and dry.
We change the litter in the nests.
Feed pigeons.
Feed pigeon mostly grain, barley, millet, seeds The water is clean, not cold.
Green boxes - with oats and barley.
In winter, it is necessary to provide green fodder.
Mineral additives - chalk.
Pigeons
Someone will think, just a hobby, but I can say that this is much more - it is a love for birds of amazing beauty, a variety of character.
You can watch them for hours - it's always a joy.
Doves live in pairs.
We have dovecotethat is why I often observe the behavior of these wonderful birds.
People bred such breeds: flying - they rise high into the sky, it is interesting to watch them.
There are postal pigeons, they have existed for many, many years, they have been known about since ancient times.
They carry letters across seas and oceans.
This is the breed pigeons are very hardy, it happens that they do not eat for a whole week, but they carry letters to their destination.
Daddy has these breeds pigeons.
Baku people are high-flying.
They have excellent flying qualities.
Among baku breeds pigeons there are bare-legged and with feathered legs, smooth-headed (toothless) and with large forelocks from ear to ear.
Breeds: "Povladarskie Reds"
"Turmans"
"Marble"
"Peacocks"
"Persians"-
Reproduction pigeons.
(from spring to autumn)
Pigeons reproduce very quickly.
Dovewing lays one egg, the second day.
The female and male incubate eggs in turn.
Male by day and female by night.
They incubate eggs for 18 days and feed the chicks together.
Piglet breaks the shell with its beak and leaves it.
Then the male removes the shell.
The female and the male gorge themselves to feed pigeon.
They feed him like this: regurgitate gruel in his beak.
After about a month, the baby flies off the nest, begins to peck grains and drink some water.
Chick soon "Goes out into the street" and takes the first steps on the ground.
He pecks grains, sand, pebbles.
About a month later it starts flying.
Per pigeon very interesting to watch.
Flight pigeons life interesting and exciting.
They rise up, sometimes above the clouds and fly until evening.
conclusions:
1. From the literature read with my mother from the stories of my father, pigeon breeders and videos, I learned a lot about pigeons and their lives
2. I also learned about different breedsoh pigeons.
I found out. How to care for birds, equipment, food,
reproduction and what feeding birds need.
3. Dad and I took part in the exhibition - pigeons with... Pospeliha. For which I received a letter of thanks
Perhaps, dove- this is the first bird dad introduced me to.
And even if these are not the most thoroughbred birds, they teach us good.
Anyway pigeons go through a person's life.
A symbol of peace- dovecarrying a palm branch.
If we talk about labor, then pigeons are great workers, after all, it was they who flew hundreds of kilometers with letters, which not every courier managed to do.
Hundreds and thousands of people in different times carried away pigeon breeding from kings to simple peasants.
Dad instilled a love for these birds, I think that in our life there will always be an island of joy and happiness.
Thanks to my dad

Once (in winter 2014) Mikhail I.K. went out onto the porch and noticed a sick pigeon. The pigeon was wounded and frozen. Mikhail IK fattened, gave water and cured him. And he gave him a name Gosha (Go-Go). When Gosha stood on the wings, he no longer wanted to fly away from his home. Soon he began to fly to the church on the Gora (Gora Zherebtsova) and bring his friends to the house. Before Gosha came to the house of Mikhail I.K., pigeons (red and white) already lived in our house, there were many young animals from them, but they also flew away. And before Gosha, the pigeons did not arrive at the house of Mikhail I.K. and Albina L.K. Several weeks ago, Gosha and his child unexpectedly appear.
Most of the family members were at a loss. See why Raising a fir-tree Child Raising a mother - a dove Cub - Before growing up Father - a dove Never!
Then Mikhail IK was not taken aback and renamed Gosha into Gunka. The baby Gunka was named Gosha. Gosha squeaked all the time, asking for food. His rosy nose has always attracted others. Gosha's colors are white and black, not black and white. Always dirty breasts. He found a piece of wood for himself and sits there for hours, sleeps there until his "lads" are gone. So I decided to create a Gaucher Research Paper. ATTENTION TO THE SCREEN!
Gosha (Go-Go, George) Gosha grows and lives in human society. MAIN QUESTIONS AND OBJECTIVES: 1. Get into the confidence of the pigeons. 2. Learn about the secret life of Gosha and other pigeons. 3. Teach pigeons to trust a person.
The first day. Distrust on the first day gives way to curiosity. Soon they don't care that I walk next to them (row 1). Gosha tries to avoid me and tries to eat when I left (row 2). They are afraid of a quick step and unexpected jerks. CATEGORIES KAYA 1 THEMORIES KAYA 2 THEMORIES KAYA 1 THEMORY 2 5 4 3 2 1 0
Second day. Studying the structure of the pack begins. Everything that I managed to learn: NUMBER OF STACES: 2 STACES UNITED IN A COMMUNITY COMPONENTS OF THE COMMUNITY: Alpha male (2); Alpha female (4); Outcast (1); Young growth (3); Omega male (7); Omega female (3); Single (1); Chief (1); Test stuntman (2).
Day Three. Gosha is not afraid of me, but he is wary. He no longer beeps for food. We begin to give names to pigeons: Vasya, Borisych, Yuri Dmitrievich Shparo, Arthur, Natasha. ON THE PHOTO: GOSHA WITH OMEGA FEMALES. q NOTE: GOSHI'S MOTHER IS ALPHA FEMALE
Day four. After several weeks of separation from the charges (as the experiment says) Gosha and the pigeons recognize me and are more friendly. Row 1 5 4 3 Row 1 2 1 0 Relationships towards me were unstable Relationships towards me became stable
Day Five. Unexpectedly for the experiment, Gosha and Yuri D. Sh. With other pigeons unknown to me began to follow me like goslings after their goose. They looked a little like, and then fell behind.
Phase 1 ended on Day Six. failure Finally, the pigeons began to eat from the hand! with pigeons. I wanted to close the experiment ahead of schedule, when they remembered that 99.9% of trust in a person had not been verified. For this I offered my brother Lev G.K. to feed the 2nd phase ended with the hands of the community of pigeons. 99.9% confidence. And suddenly, unexpectedly for the experiment, they began to eat from the hand of a stranger who did not feed them. 99.9% completed. But what about 0.1%? 3 phase, where you need to earn 00.1% trust.

Introduction
Pigeon breeds
Breeding pigeons
Feeding pigeons
I became interested in the life of pigeons.
In our village, many keep pigeons. A friend of mine has a large dovecote, so I often observe the behavior of these wonderful birds. Therefore, before introducing pigeons, I decided to find out more about them.
People bred such breeds: flying - they rise high into the sky, it is very interesting to watch them. 
There is a breed of fighting - they are very beautiful,
feathers grow on their paws.
E 
there are carrier pigeons, they have existed for many, many years, they have been known about since ancient times. They carry letters across seas and oceans. This breed of pigeons is very hardy, sometimes they do not eat for a whole week, but they carry letters to their destination.
E 
there are decorative pigeons: peacocks, they have a beautiful, peacock-like tail; blue - this breed of pigeons was bred in the city of Uryupinsk, therefore they are also called Uryupinsky.
FROM 
the Uryupinskys are beautiful, stately birds of domestic selection with a Sorochin pattern. They are very popular not only in our country, but also abroad. Blue Uryupinsky pigeons are unpretentious in terms of keeping, fly for a long time and at high altitudes, are fertile, caring parents.
Uryupinsky - pigeons with shaking (the neck twitches near the head), legs are strongly feathered, eyes are pink, with narrow eyelids.
R 
they say that in his homeland, in the village of Olshanka, Volgograd Region, the famous military leader Shtemenko Sergei Matveyevich, almost in uniform with a whistle and a "flap", drove pigeons with his friend, and the general's personal driver was signaling in the car every now and then: comrade general! " About love S.M. Shtemenko to pigeons is known to many. Once the deputy chief of the General Staff, and later the chief of staff of the troops of the Warsaw Pact countries, drove pigeons in Dobrinka, more than once sent a helicopter to Uryupinsk specifically for them and kept a huge dovecote at his Moscow dacha.
Thanks to General S.M. Shtemenko and his entourage - Uryupin Vadim Churikov, a local pigeon breed - were recognized in Europe. It is believed that Churikov took our pigeons to Poland and Germany, where they won gold medals at exhibitions. Shtemenko himself valued the "blue" or "blue-male", "blue-haired" birds as an intelligent bird and, in the words of pigeon breeders, strict - not to sit on someone else's roof.
Pigeons reproduce very quickly. The female lays one egg, and another day later, so as not to lose the ability to fly. The female and male hatch eggs for about 15 days.
The piglet pierces the shell with its beak and comes out of it. Then the male removes the shells. The female and the male gorge themselves to feed the piglet. They feed him like this: they belch gruel into his beak. The gruel leaves the pigeon in the goiter. He digests it there.
After about a month, the baby flies from the nest, begins to peck grains and drink some water.
Soon the chick "goes out into the street" and takes its first steps on the ground. He pecks at sand, pebbles, grains. Somewhere else in a month begins to fly, masters in a new place.
It is very interesting for the little pigeon to watch how it adapts to life.
The life of flying pigeons is interesting and exciting. They rise up, sometimes above the clouds and fly until evening. The Pigeon family, or Pigeons, includes 285 living species, 6 species have been exterminated.
In the fauna of Russia, 12 species have been recorded, of which 10 species have been reliably nesting.
Nomination " Children's project in primary school"
If you ask the question what kind of birds we see on the streets of the city most often, the answer will be unambiguous - pigeons. Most of them are easy to tame and they are not afraid of people. But living with these birds literally side by side, we do not see pigeon chicks. In the flock, everyone is the same size, so what the chicks look like and what they do before they fully mature is a mystery to many.
Problematic question:Why do we never meet their chicks on the streets of the city, where there are so many pigeons?
Objective of the project:find out if the pigeons have chicks, and if so, why we do not see them.
Project objectives:
1. Conduct a survey (questionnaire) among adults and children.
2. Study the materials of the library and Internet resources.
3. Watch pigeons.
4. Create a calendar "Unusual pigeons".
Hypothesis: I assumed that there are no small pigeons and they are born immediately as adults.
Object of study: pigeons.
Project participants:children, parents.
Implementation period: one year.
Research methods:study of literature;conducting a survey;own observations.
Project Description
After conducting a sociological survey, I confirmed my assumptions. 80% of those surveyed have not seen pigeon chicks, 40% think that they exist, but have never seen them, but everyone wants to know where they are hiding.
From the supplementary literature, we have found that there are approximately 300 species of pigeons. These birds live in all parts of the world except in extremely cold areas, but most species live in tropical climates.
In Christianity, the dove symbolizes the holy spirit, purity, peace, baptism, the good news. The Bible says that Noah sent a dove in search of dry land after the flood, which then brought an olive branch. Having become a symbol of peace, the dove is imprinted as a monument in many cities of the world, it is installed in 33 cities.
Doves are heroes. With the word hero, we have the image of a brave man who saved many lives. Unfortunately, not many people know that our feathered friends - pigeons - were also heroes. In wartime, they carried out difficult assignments and often risked their lives. Most famous bird became a pigeon named Commando. In 1945, the pigeon received a medal for its bravery. And in 1946 the dove Soldier JOE was awarded for saving thousands of lives.
Output:my hypothesis is not confirmed, chicks exist! And there are explanations for the fact that we do not see them.
First, pigeons build their nests in places that resemble caves and rocks. In nature, pigeons are inhabitants of mountains, rocks and steep banks. They settle in places inaccessible for those who like to taste game - cracks and caves where nests are placed, eggs hatch and chicks are fed. City pigeons easily adapt in settlements, since buildings and structures remind them of natural conditions and allow them to settle in places inaccessible to humans and predators. In cities, they nest on roofs, under windowsills, under bridges.
Second, the chicks do not leave the nest until six weeks, until they grow up. At the age when the chicks fly out of the nest, they are absolute copies of their parents, but smaller. Another difference is that up to 8 months of age, the plumage of chicks does not have a characteristic metallic sheen, as in adults. Teenage pigeons can be recognized by hyperactive behavior, molesting other pigeons (begging for food). Even adolescents can be found mainly near the nesting site.

Introduction
The relevance of research . We live in the 11th century - this is the century of technological progress. We are surrounded by many technical innovations: computers, cell Phones, LCD TVs, etc. we so quickly get used to everything new that man invents, completely oblivious to what surrounds us, created by nature itself.
My work is about pigeons. I will answer why I chose this particular topic.
We live in a village. My dad gave me his love for pigeons. Pigeons occupy a special place in his life. He began to breed them as a child. His love for pigeons was passed on to me. Studying with them we “have a rest in soul. You can watch for hours how doves, performing miracles of the highest flight, go up, sparkling with their plumage in the sun. At the same time, it becomes joyful, all worries and sorrows recede away.
Topic my research is devoted to the study of various breeds of pigeons and breeding a new breed by crossing a wild female and a thoroughbred male.
goal my research is to learn something new for myself about pigeons, about their habits and habits, and the most interesting thing for me is breeding a new breed. With my mother, we did this throughout the year.
The objectives of my research are:
1. Pick up literature and various pictures with images of pigeons.
2. Use in the work materials found on the Internet on the research topic.
3. Observe the life of pigeons of various breeds throughout the year when breeding and feeding chicks.
The main methods of my research were: viewing books and various literature; observation of my pets, a description of the results.
Research hypothesis
We assume that a true passion for pigeons, communication with them makes a person kinder, purer in soul and nobler in heart. Pigeon breeders can watch for hours as their pets, performing miracles of aerobatics, go up, sparkling with plumage in the sun. At the same time, the soul revives, all worries and sorrows recede away. This is one of the pleasures that a person receives by communicating with nature.

1.Information about pigeons
Rock Pigeon Columba livia
The rock dove, along with sparrows, is a typical city dweller. It can be found throughout the European part of Russia, Western Siberia and in the south. Of the Far East... The wild species of these birds is widespread on the coast of the Azov Sea, in the Urals and the Caucasus, in Kazakhstan. Birds that settle in an urban environment have different colors, while in the wild the Dove is always colored the same: gray-gray plumage, two stripes on the wing, a gray tail and a dark beak. Through selection, many new breeds of pigeons were obtained from the Blue Pigeon. I want to tell you about my breed, which I bred, below.
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animals
Type: Chordates
Subtype: Vertebrates
Class: Birds
Order: Pigeon-like
Family: Pigeons
Genus: Pigeons
Species: Dove
Appearance
Pigeons, common in the wild, do not look like all the usual urban birds. Urban birds can have more than 30 color options: from white and beige to almost black.
There are practically no differences between the male and the female, except for the fact that the female's plumage on the breast is less silvery. In young individuals, for the first six months, a lighter plumage and a gray or brown iris of the eyes.
An ordinary pigeon has a grayish-gray plumage, gray wings with two characteristic stripes, the plumage on the chest casts a metallic yellowish or purple color. The size of a pigeon ranges from 30 to 35 cm, weight is about 300 grams. Feathers tear the body thickly, but are poorly fixed on the skin. The pigeon has unfeathered areas around the eyes. The beak is dark, almost black, surrounded by a characteristic white area - beak. The eyes are orange-red or yellow. Wings with a metallic sheen, span - up to 65 cm. The tail is straight or slightly rounded, with a dark stripe along the edge. The feet are red or pink.
2. Breeds of pigeons. Distribution and habitat
Pigeons inhabit the entire Eurasian territory. They can be found from the Yenisei to Altai, on the borders of East India and Myanmar, and even in Africa. They live on the islands of the Mediterranean Sea, the British, Faroe and Canary Islands. Initially, pigeons settled in Russia only on the coast of the Azov Sea, in the Volga region and in the North Caucasus. Over time, the birds spread throughout the country. Today, pigeons can be found all over the world. They live even in cool, high-mountainous places, and always inhabit areas cultivated by humans. Pigeons settle not only near settlements, but also in forests. Also, some birds prefer rocky areas and mountains. For example, rocky pigeons make nests in rock depressions, in caves. In the south, rocky pigeons are sedentary, and in the north, birds move to warmer places for wintering. Pigeons settle in flocks, colonies, but at the same time they are monogamous. The population of wild pigeon species is not large and the number of birds decreases over time. Pigeons were brought to other continents and islands (America, Great Britain) on purpose, initially not living there. Colonists brought pigeons to Nova Scotia in the 15th century. In Kazakhstan, 5 species of pigeons are widespread: the rock dove, rocky pigeon, klintukh, wood pigeon, Japanese wood pigeon. People are bred and decorative pigeons to enjoy looking at these beautiful birds... This is a peacock dove, a blower, and Bukhara pigeons, and many, many others.
Breeding pigeons
In conditions wildlife pigeons settle in colonies, within which they form pairs. Pigeons are monogamous and remain faithful to their partner throughout their lives. The male attracts the female with a beautiful mating dance: he coos, walks around her, whirls, dissolves feathers, inflates a goiter. Sometimes both pigeons take off, flapping their wings strongly, and soar in the air. In response to courtship, the female begins to show attention to the male, and usually the dance ends with mutual rewards: the birds clean each other's plumage, touch each other with their beaks, the female can peck the male on the head. The nesting period for pigeons has no clear boundaries and can last at any time throughout the year. It largely depends on the area where the pigeons live. In Eurasia, pigeons breed mainly from March to October.
Pigeons make nests in rocks or other places inaccessible to predators. Pigeons - the inhabitants of cities for placing their nests choose places of the cultural landscape that resemble natural conditions: attics of houses, cornices, crevices in brickwork... I built a dovecote for my pigeons.
Having built a nest, a pair of pigeons can use it repeatedly to breed.
When building a dwelling, the male hunts construction material, which are various twigs, straws and blades of grass. The female is directly engaged in the construction of the nest. The socket is made simply, one might say, carelessly, and has a flat shape. Pigeons are very careful and try to equip their nests so that it is extremely difficult for a person to find them. 
The female lays 1-2 white eggs with a smooth shiny shell in the nest. The female lays eggs with a break (about two days).
Both partners are engaged in incubation of offspring. The male is in the nest, as a rule, in the morning, while the female is busy with food. If the female lingers for a long time, the male starts cooing invitingly so that the female quickly replaces him in the nest. The incubation period lasts from 17 to 30 days, depending on the breed of the pigeon. Chicks are born with an interval of a couple of days, they are absolutely helpless and covered with sparse hair-like down. At first, their parents feed them " bird milk"- a nutritious fluid secreted in the goiter. It consists of 64-82% water, 7-13% fat and fat-like substances, 10-19% protein, 1.6% mineral and astringent substances, vitamins A, D, E, B. In appearance, in the first days, the milk resembles a yellowish liquid sour cream, to taste, a rancid butter. After 3-4 days it becomes thicker, on the 6-7th day the parents mix in it with crushed food particles. And on the 10-11th day, the chicks already receive grain and mineral impurities with water.
After the first chick hatches, the parents immediately start feeding it. The female usually begins to feed first. The dove-bird lowers its head to the chick, grabs its beak with its beak and regurgitates the prepared food. By the time the second chick appears, the first one manages to get goiter milk two or three times. After each regurgitation, the female again raises the body and beak and, without letting go of the chick's beak, gives him another portion. For one feeding, she produces 10-15 regurgitation, with an interval of 10-20 seconds. After a short break of 6-10 seconds, feeding resumes. Once full, the chick takes it under the dove. After 1.5-2.5 hours, feeding is resumed. Pigeons produce milk on average for 9-10 days. From the 10th day after hatching the chick, milk production is reduced. If the production of milk is timely, and hatching of the brood is delayed by 2-3 days, the pigeons can leave the nest,
without waiting for the appearance of the chicks. In this case, the brood dies from overcrowding.
Such food has a high energy value, contains a lot of proteins and few carbohydrates. When the chicks grow up, the parents begin to feed them with plant seeds. Outwardly, young pigeons are similar to adults, but have a faded plumage and a brown color of the iris of the eyes. After a month with a little, the chicks become independent, fly out of the nest. The ability to reproduce in pigeons appears at the age of about six months
The interest of bird lovers in pigeons has a long history. Pigeons have been bred in captivity since ancient times. Birds began to be domesticated in Central Asia and Egypt. Then they spread to Italy and further throughout Europe. In India, there are also many breeding pigeons. Thus, considerable experience has been accumulated in captive bird breeding. During this time, more than 800 different breeds of pigeons were bred. They can be divided into three main groups: meat, sports and decorative. Representatives of various breeds of pigeons have characteristics, according to which they are ranked as one type or another.
Pigeons differ not only in size, but also in constitution, color of plumage and ability to fly. Most often, pigeons are bred for sports purposes, but there are also lovers of breeding and maintaining pure breeds, which stand out for their beautiful plumage and voice.
Many breeders are interested in improving the flying ability of birds. Carrier pigeons belong to the sporting species.
They can fly long distances (300-500 km.) In a short time. At the same time, they are well oriented and always return home. The flight speed reaches 60 km. in hour.
Today sports (carrier) pigeons take part in various competitions. So, at the beginning of the 19th century, the first tournament for sports pigeons was organized in Belgium. This laid the foundation for a new breed of pigeons called "Voyageurs" ("Travelers"). These pigeons are flight aces. They can reach speeds of up to 140 km. in hour.
The meat pigeon industry is not common in Kazakhstan, but popular in other countries (France, Italy, Hungary). Its goal is to breed large birds, weighing about 1 kg., Capable of rapid reproduction.
Many decorative pigeon breeds have been bred by breeders. These birds amaze the imagination with their appearance... For example, warty pigeons are distinguished by a "shirt-front collar" on the neck, and among the so-called Asian pigeons you can find peacocks with beautiful tail plumage, curly pigeons, deep-Jacobins, having a beautiful "crown" or "wig" on their heads.
Nutrition
Pigeons eat twice a day: morning and evening. In search of food, birds are capable of long-distance flights.
The main diet of pigeons is grains. They also feed on seeds, fruits, berries, and rarely insects. Pigeons easily adapt to the food offered to them by humans. In urban settings, pigeons can often be seen in garbage dumps, looking for food among the garbage. Pigeons are indiscriminate in food for the following reason: there are no more than 40 taste buds on their tongue (in humans, there are 10 thousand).
Water is important in the nutrition of pigeons. It promotes the swelling of the grains. Pigeons drink water in a way not typical for birds: they immerse their beak in water to the very nostrils and suck in the liquid.
Breeding pigeons
To date, more than 800 different breeds of pigeons have been bred. Pigeons of either the same breed are crossed to maintain the valuable qualities of birds or pigeons of different breeds - to improve the species.
Pigeons in breeding science can be divided into three main groups: meat, sports and decorative. Representatives of various breeds of pigeons have characteristic features, according to which they are ranked as one or another species. Pigeons differ not only in size, but also in constitution, color of plumage and ability to fly.

In the Russian tradition, there is a special term - blue-breeding. There are special nurseries for breeding pigeons - dovecotes. Until recently, they were extremely popular among ordinary residents - dovecotes could be found in the courtyards of cities and in the suburbs. Dovecotes are equipped with special nest boxes - steam boxes. All over the world there are still hundreds of thousands of pigeon breeding enthusiasts. Through selection, hundreds of species of pigeons were bred, characterized by an amazing variety, both in external
signs and abilities to fly.I decided to see what types would be obtained if
cross the wild dove
and a thoroughbred male .
Here's what happened!
Pigeons are strong and hardy birds. And I also want to note one quality. Pigeons are very responsible parents. They do not abandon their nests even in extreme situations. In a fire on the dovecote, the pigeons did not abandon their nests, but continued to sit on them, protecting their not yet hatched chicks. The rest of the pigeons hovered in the air, not flying far away. After extinguishing the fire, the whole flock flocked to the still hot roof. I was very moved by such a responsible attitude of pigeons to their family.
In Palestine, pigeons were sacrificed to the gods; among the Jews, the dove was a symbol of love and moral purity. In Christianity, the dove has a special meaning: this bird is a symbol of peace and friendship.
I really love my pigeons !!!
Output
In my work, I tried to give a variety of information about pigeons. I considered questions from the history of pigeon breeding, learned a lot about the breeds of pigeons and their reproduction.
Based on their work, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1 pigeons – amazing birdsthat bring joy to people.
2.There is many breeds for various purposes.
I would like to end with these words
Literature review
From literary sources, we found out that at present there is a growing public interest in breeding pigeons.Schmidt H. “Pigeons. 300 breeds for exhibition and breeding. Complete atlas ”.-From this atlas, we learned about more than three hundred breeds of pigeons: their history, use, exhibition and breeding value, as well as all the important and characteristic features of these amazing birds. It says that pigeon breeding is one of the many hobbies of people. Dedicating his leisure time to breeding pigeons, a person creatively approaches his favorite pastime, constantly experiments, trying to get a new breed of domestic pigeons or offspring from exotic species of these birds. We also learned that pigeon breeders' clubs have been created in the cities of Kazakhstan, which conduct a great propaganda on the protection of birds and the development of amateur pigeon breeding in their cities, provide assistance and give useful tips for beginner pigeon breeders, they arrange exhibitions, organize work with children - sections and circles on pigeon breeding.
In books such as: "All About Doves" S.P. Bondarenko , the magazine "Golubevodstvo", the bookA.F. Zieper "All About Doves" - the biological characteristics of pigeons, the conditions of their keeping and breeding are described in detail, a classification of pigeon breeds is given.

Relevance research is that we live in the XI century and do not notice at all what surrounds us, created by nature itself.
But one has only to pause a little, look around, observe.
The bird world is very colorful and diverse. There are a lot of birds in nature. In the forest, on the river, in the field - birds live all around. And each bird is beautiful in its own way.
Man is characterized by a striving for nature.
This desire also implies communication with other living beings.
Hypothesis research is that a true passion for pigeons, communication with them makes a person kinder, purer in soul and nobler in heart. Pigeon breeders can watch for hours as their pets, performing miracles of aerobatics, go up, sparkling with plumage in the sun. At the same time, the soul revives, all worries and sorrows recede away. This is one of the pleasures that a person receives by communicating with nature.
