When we first had a couple of show-pigeons 3-4 years ago, the seed feeding ritual was additionally attended by a mass of turtle-doves & whistling pigeons. We grew the flock to around three dozen birds at one stage. Then our pigeon pair had their 4 sons, after which the doves and whistling-pigeons began to back off. A few city pigeons turned up, then a few more, and...
Recently, we have been having around a half dozen birds feed with us at dawn, and around 2 dozen for the dinner-feed. Mostly, it is city pigeons visiting our duo of white show-pigeons. Sometimes, Smokey will bring Spotty to visit us. We are getting to have so many that I am getting a little lost when trying to name them all. We have 2-3 Black Scruffs, 3-4 Scruffs, a few Speckleys, some Ribsters, a Dusty, a Gray Scruff, and a Sooty - along with a few more.
