Glow of hope in their eyes

Garye,

Thanks comes from me too. I love hearing about other people who feel as I do, that these sweet babies deserve a little help & food & looking out for. I feed all types of birds at home, but it's at work where I have a flock of about 300 pigeons. When I pull into the parking lot they all fly from the other side of the roof & telephone wires to the side w/the entry door I go in. They all line up and peak down at me, it's sooooo cute. When I'm not at work yet, I put my other half in charge of the feeding. He always tells me people driving by are laughing at him and his bucket of seed and the hundreds of pigeons coming down around him. It's really a beautiful sight.

He is a big animal lover as well, but, he thinks I go a little overboard (which I know I do, but they more than deserve it). He rolls his eyes at me when I take things like empty tic-tac containers & fill them w/seed. This way, when I'm passing some pijies on the street, I can offer them a quick meal w/o people yelling at me for feeding them. They don't even see me drop the seeds.

Keep up the good work...or should I say, labor of love.

300 BIRDS! Oh my Lord that must be a sight to see! I have about 30 to 40 and when they see me coming they come from all directions.

Well I think there are others here who feel sorry for the pigeons here. I caught a man feeding them from his car the other day. The pigeons are actually getting plump from the sudden generosity of the people here. People realize it's winter and the birds have a hard time finding food so I'm beginning to see others coming around to give them something. I'm always thankful that others in my town feel the same about them as I do. It's nice to know if I can't make it, the pigeons have someone else who will step up and help them out.

Last night was terribly cold and I wondered how they would survive it, but in the morning there they were, ready to greet me so I guess it's good they're getting plump. It might help keep them warm.
