What si the size of the pools? I have mostly pigeons in my yard? Would they fit in the pools?

Sparrows fit perfectly. They love drinking from it, sitting and splashing and sometimes poop in it. It has 4 pools and the globe/pools needs to be cleaned at least weekly in the summer due to algae (EASY) residue build up. Pigeons will not fit because their weight would tilt the globe to one side and drain it out. Thanx for your question! Enjoy your day! Diana

Please defrost the four little pools regularly during freezing weather. I bring it inside and run warm water over them until thawed for drinking again. The birds thank me every time! It's hard for them to find liquid drinking water now.

No, they would not fit in the pools. It's more of a drinking station than a birdbath. I've never even seen a tiny finch in the pool, they just sit on the rim and drink from it. The four pools are about 4 by 3 inches wide. A bird could probably fit in there but not enough to flit around and clean themselves no.

The birds that use it are small to medium. And we do not have anything the size of a pidgeon I haven't mesured them, but I would say they are maybe four inches long and maybe 3 wide.

They'll definitely drink from it, but they won't fit in them to bathe if that's what you're looking for. If I had to guess, I'd say each pool is about 4x2 inches. Sparrows, Starlings, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and Blue Jays all used mine this past summer.

I have mocking birds and doves that use the waterer, but they only drink the water and do not use it as a birdbath. I hope that answer was helpful.

I agree with those below about the size. I think the pigeons can benefit from having drinking water and you may be better off not having them get in there and poop etc. anyway.

Mine didn't even work.. The pigeons just landed like there was nothing there... I ended up covering mine with boards with nails hammered thru them.. Homemade Bird spikes... I would assume some Turpentine probably works

It is big enough for my small parrot. He can step all the way inside. Kind of like us stepping into a kiddie pool. He has plenty of room. But for a full size gray? I'm leaning toward "no" for this size. Hope this helps! If you have a HUGE bird cage you should look into the Splash Giant.

I have mine in a rather shallow birdbath. As long as the rubber discs can reach water it works great. I'd say the water in the bird bath should be at least 1". I hope this helps some. I've had two and love them. The battery lasts at least 4-6 months and it only takes 2 "D" size batteries.

The pool will fit within your parameters. The frame fits very close to the liner without much give. You should have a good fit.

Squirrels only in my yard - and they love these. However, they are messy and make lots of tiny crumbs that the birds pick up. So no reason pigeons might not go for the specks.

From what I've read doves seem to prefer nest sites that are more open on the sides. Maybe you can find a "nesting box". I just bought this so haven't had any birds use it yet.

Hi Ms Tiggy! Im not sure how to meassure the size cause they come in different sizes. Mine is medium and a cockatiel would love it. Spacious and good perch. Mesh? Not sure what that is. I am very happy with my buy and the quality is good. Hope it helps:)

We have lots of doves in our yard, but none of them seem to use the feeder. Hope this helps.

I think you will need a larger cage. this one is very nice and I really like , but not enough room for larger, My little parrotlet has one larger for moving about. That is my thought.Buy bigger.24x24 at least. hope this helps

Well, I'm here & the water feeder is at the beach, but I'm very disappointed in it. I put it back in the trees where they birds would feel protected, but none of them, including the little finches, have used it. I'd say the pools are about 3" long, just guessing since I can't go out & check for you, but I think the pigeons would be way too heavy & awkward for this thing. It's also very hard to fill & rehang. You can't fill it from the top. You have to take it down, turn it over, unscrew the bottle from the base, fill the bottle while someone else is holding it because the other end is not flat so you can't set it down. Then when you rescrew the base & flip it over, you lose a lot of water. It's also heavy once it's filled with water, so it's awkward lifting it over your head to rehang. I'd keep looking ...

It didn't help with my pigeons at all. Since that didn't work I have purchased a plastic owl and that helps a lot. Once in awhile a pigeon that's too bold for his own good will still try to hang out on my balcony, but cleaning up out there is nothing like it used to be. Hope this helps!

Wikipedia says that a diamond dove is about the size of a small pigeon so I would think it would be most adequate. It's a very roomy cage. I keep two cockatiels in it and there is lots of room.

I have a love bird. The birds you mentioned may not fit, but I put shredded brown paper bag, paper inside the hole and my bird love to stick his head in and pick it out. He sits on the ladder mostly. I hope this helped . I like it in the cage.

Not a bird owner here but I wouldn't think so. This enclosure is 18x18x18 and as I understand it the minimum cage size for finches or budgies is at least 18x18x24. They make an 18x18x24 versions and larger I believe.

I used a 5 gallon bucket and put a hose fitting on it and hung it outside on rafter of my coop. Ran hose inside and to PVC pipe that I put these into. I have a 90* joint so it is running down two sides of the coop and probably 7 or so nipples. Plenty water for my 20 birds with room for more without needing to add any more. I just fill the bucket once or twice a week. They work really well. I have part of the pipe at an angle so it is lower on one end for chicks. But you can also just put a few right into the bottom of a bucket and hang it.

I had pigeons on my roof. It didn't deter them whatsoever. The pigeons crapped all over it so I returned it and got my refund.
