Eggs!
September 12th 2008 15:13
Yes, my original guess must be true - Smokey and Spotty have a nest of eggs! To back up my belief, these two birds who have spent the past few weeks necking upon the windowsill when flying to visit me together, are now coming with hungry eyes, at strange hours, and separately.
I can hear the 'Seeds, seeds, oh please give me some food; I need it.' in their expectant and hopeful stare. I can see the desperation in their eye, as they fly in to land upon the roof or sill, and then look at me the moment they spot me. I only have to open the back door, and those 'PLEASE!' looks hit my heart, flooding out from my feathered friends.
This has meant some time changes in my own routine. I regularly fed the pigeons at dawn, and then once more in the local afternoon. Now, I have to feed Baby1 - and sometimes Bebe2 - at dawn, and then provide 2-3 dinner-seed meals dependent upon when our Smokey and Spotty surface. (I am pathetic - and cannot refuse that look in their eyes!)
