The next episode of the pigeon saga

September 12th 2007 19:07
Perch wise, Smokey and BabyNob will both lay claim to the shelf in the dunny, if the door is open for a while. My bedroom windowsill is the main area to play chase, or to rest and relax to music. If I leave the back door open, the whole flock will enter, and try to find a location to rest. The 3 white sons coo-fight for the top of the lamp and the door-top positions, Brownie pecks about in the dust pile under the broom, Shyly likes to walk over my trainers and knock them all over, Smokey likes to sit on the outside lamp, or the inside lamp and coo.

Romance wise, Brownie seems to be quite happy romancing with Bebe2 and has gotten over the death of her former husband Fluffy. Smokey and BabyNob still appear to be single males, chasing all the pigeons, rock doves, and turtle doves they can find. I am not quite sure what to make of Shyly. When he first joined our flock, I was uncertain if it was a male or a female pigeon. However, after a little time, when it chased chicks and puff-cooed, I realized it was a male. But, it now appears that one of the young male white pigeons, Baby1, thinks it is a female and Shyly is allowing it to do so. I have no idea as to whether this reflects on how pigeon populations in general act if there are five men and one woman in the flock, or if pigeons naturally sometimes have homosexual relationships by choice.


Food wise, Shyly is scurrying about snatching the corn as fast as he can, still, and Brownie continues to go to the sunflower seeds before anything else, though in a somewhat more ladylike, calmer manner. The other pigeons just greedily stuff down whatever lays before them!

Health wise, they all seem to be fit and well-preened. They often take to a flight in the skies above and about the yard, playing in the air. Smokey's bent foot does not seem to give him any difficulty at all, either in mobility or rest. The only other slight imperfection, Brownies single missing toenail, does not trouble her either.


The following picture is of BabyNob and Ribster chasing Brownie, with Bebe2 following to check that nobody steals his wife!
