A bird in the hand . . .. . .Means a little extra seeds
 This is Hop-a-long, my 'special' feral pigeon who has been one of our backyard buddies for quite some time now. Recently, he has become quite persistant about getting a few extra seeds before retiring for the night. After I give the guys their evening meal, Hop-a-long attempts to get my attention by flying up & sitting on my head or shoulder. Early this evening I decided to try & get a picture of him 'getting his way'. Gotta love these wonderful birds & their personalities!  Cindy

What a great shot of hop-a-long going for the extra helping of seeds
 I wish people could get to know these great birds and the joy they could bring them if they would just give them a chance. It looks like you have a VERY special relationship with him, I wish you a loooong friendship.

Hi Cindy,
Oh what a cutie! Nice to have friends like Hop-a-long. Give him some extra seed for me, he certainly deserves it.

He is adorable Cindy, what a treasure to get a wild bird to come down and feed from your hand and the trust he must have in you is awsome. Congratulations!
Cindy

I have personally met Hop-a-long and can honestly say that he IS quite a character. Every time I talk to Cindy, I ask how he is doing. His bad foot doesn't seem to faze him and I swear he limps even MORE pathetically when Cindy comes out with the SEEDS!
He is, truly, one smart pij and can play his handicap for all its worth! Cindy's patio is his STAGE! He specializes in afternoon performances and even guests (ME) don't give him stage fright! He's a professional!  Give him extra seeds for me too, Cindy! He's earned 'em!

Great shot, Cindy. They know who their friends are.
P.S. Today, I am so jealous of your beautiful climate. It is 43 degrees, 3 1/2 inches of rain within 24 hours, winds constant and strong and gusting to about 50 mph. Just like a category 1 or 2 hurricane!
