Some of my friends live in our yard, others visit it, still others live elsewhere and I visit them. Come and read about all my feathered friends...

pigeons

February 17th 2010 09:59
Regular readers will know that it will not take me long to hunt down the local pigeon population, wherever I may move. Apart from WP the wood pigeon, who sits in the tree outside my bedroom window for a while most days, I have come across many more pigeons in the 9 weeks since relocating to England from Australia.

WP was spotted jumping about the branches in the tree - seemingly to avoid another wood pigeon that kept flying about. I am not sure if this is wood pigeon romance or enemyship as yet, but it seems that the breeding season will be coming up shortly...

There are at least 2 wood pigeons now, it seems. WP is getting used to me, and does not fly away when seeing me through the window - or in the yard itself. He also bows to me 2-3 times - providing I bow back rather than ignore him. I suppose that is as close to the pigeon connections that I once had that wood pigeons will allow.


My first spotting of regular city pigeons was at the local grocery store. The supermarket has an old barn styled roof and I began to spot a collection of city pgieons - otherwise known as feral pigeons or rock doves - on the roof. I often walk slowly toward the store to observe them - missing my old flock from my previous home a lot.

The only sighting of show pigeons was closer to home however. I have now spotted at least EIGHT snow white show pigeons in my actual village of residence. They seem to belong to the church vestry cottage - along with 1-2 colored show pigeons and a city pigeon. One white show pigeon is getting used to me, and sometimes comes towards me to sit on the wall and watch me go past - maybe he recognizes that I am a pigeon lover!
