These guys and gals come visit me everyday in my yard. They have two levels of food, one on the ground and one on a nice flat roof. If my flock keeps getting any bigger I might have to stop for a while or my neighbors will threaten to call the police again

Somewhere in this group of pidgie pics is hidden a pic of Hali the Parrolett for Feather. She's quite feisty to say the least, she thinks a Macaw. She'll go after anyone or anything that gets in her way! Parroletts make great companions, they're super cuddly and loving..BUT, they can have a mean streak a mile wide when angered I've added a few more pics of new additions to my flock including a lovely pidge with feathered legs and a pink beak and cere.

Hi Pete,

Wow! I see Hali on her white steed. What a charming little bird. She sure is a beautiful color, and she looks like she may have a little attitude. How long have you had her?

The feral flock sure looks well taken care of. There are so many assorted colors. They look tame. The feral flocks that live around here are all pretty much the same color.

Thanks Pete,

Feather

Pete, great pictures. You can tell you take very good care of your flock because they all look really good.

Honestly, I may have to stop looking at pics members post because I want every bird I see....... like Hali. What a cutie.

Hey! It looks like you have a "Shelley". I mean the white one looks like a pigeon here I named Shelley.

Here's a pic of what I mean - my Shelley along with Ryan (the dark one).

Can I come up with great names or what?!

HEY! You stole my pidgie Your Shelley could be my pidgies twin, it's amazing how they look identical. I don't like naming my flock because as much as I love them if I get too attached (who am I kidding, I already am) It'll hurt even more if one doesn't come back or worse.

I've had Hali since she was 6 months old so she's going on 6 1/2 years with us. She's my lil angel, Her and my Nanday Conure line up for kisses when I get home from work. I couldn't ask for better fids. I get a different colored pidge almost every day, I always amazed. Unfortunately this flock isn't really tame, they keep a good distance from me. My flock which I had to move is super friendly and would get within inches from me and completely surround me.

Pete,

I forgot to mention how much I like the first picture of the pigeons. It looks almost like a 3-D picture. We all enjoy these, keep posting them. Don't forget to bless us with Hali from time to time.


Garye, I bet your Shelley is just a really good flyer.

Feather

Thanks Feather! I'll gladly send you Hali right now! She's being very unruly right now She loves to sit on my shirt and preen my beard but gets too carried away and likes to pluck out hairs and nip my chin...OUCHHHHHH! What a little blue booger she is. My battery died while taking pics of the Canadian Geese babies at the lake today so I wasn't able to get any pidgie pics today I know this is the wrong area but I'll throw up a pic anyway

Well I name them anyways simply because if I find one of them dead, they'll at least be buried with a name. And even if I didn't name them, I'd still get attached to them. But you've got quite a lovely flock, Pete. I'm glad you're able to feed them at home.

I don't know if Shelley's a real good flyer or not but she sure is BIG. She could probably hold her own in a fight. I just like her coloring; it's different, unique. I was surprised to see Pete had a "Shelley" where he lived.

It just goes to show, pigeons are the same everywhere!

Or either that, the same ones can magically appear in different states in seconds getting fed by various pigeon lovers.

What beautiful goslings! Those babies look very healthy and well fed. I know the parents are very protective, so I gather you must have a good telephoto lens.

The pic of the geese was taken from the saftey of my truck with a telephoto lens The last time I got too close I was chased off by a pair of hissing parents. Here are a few more pics, 4 from yesterday and one from a few weeks ago.
