Pigeons have been bred by humans for thousands of years as a source of food and feathers, as messengers, but also for their beauty, and more recently for sport. Pediatric medicine of pigeons has risen in importance given the interest at stake during international competitions. Young pigeons have a unique development and an increased sensitivity to both infectious and nutritional disorders compared with adults. Preventive medicine is of paramount importance and relies on measures targeting parents before breeding and chicks after hatching. Vaccination has been especially studied in pigeons.

Introduction: We investigated the molecular mechanism by which B lymphocytes regulate Th1/Th2 imbalance to participate in the pulmonary fibrosis in hypersensitivity pneumonia induced by pigeon shedding in rats.
Methods: CD19+ rats and CD19- rats were used to construct animal models of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonia. DAPT was used to inhibit the Notch signaling pathway.

Background And Objectives: Hypersensitivity pneumonia is a complex condition due to exposure time, intensity, different clinical presentation, and treatment practices. We aimed to evaluate the patients that were diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonia (HSP) due to exposure to pigeons and a review of the literature for diagnosis and treatment of Pigeon Breeder`s Disease (PBD) in children.
Method: Between the years of 2009-2018, patients who were diagnosed with HSP due to PBD were included in the study in a pediatric pulmonology department.
