Another newbie pic

[Lady Tarheel]

Having babysat a pair of baby vultures for my rehabber friend I can tell you that they are delightful birds. The babies are soooooooo big! It was almost like holding a small dog. But they respond to you much the same as a baby pigeon, wanting affection and FOOD. Mealtimes was great fun . My friend had containers already prepared with chopped mice (everything - tail, feet, etc) so it was easy to pop pieces into them. Best as I remember I also fed them chopped gizzards and livers. They make funny baby noises too.

I really loved taking care of them.

I never thought "El Perfumo" (my name for him) was scary. All I could think of, when I saw the picture, was Pidgey's story of his friends who decided to take a baby home in a box in their car. To put it mildly, the bird "smelled!" I laughed so hard, I was in tears! When I saw the picture, that post came back to mind and, once again, I was ROFLMAO !

Shy Shi,

You know that you would take one look at El Perfumo and run behind that door again.

Pete,

I think you have us spoiled. As soon as I log on, I check for more pictures.

Maggie,

Are Vulture babies that big? Bless their little hearts! Maggie I know he has your heart covered already.

Hi Feather, yes, the babies are really big. They're a big armful.

Unfortunately this might be my last batch of new pics for a while
I was ambushed by my neighbors as I left my car this afternoon, the argument was the usual! Stop feeding the pigeons of we call the police
I of course ignored them and commented I'm doing nothing illegal and I wouldn't stop. I'm going to have to feed them in a less conspicuous manner now. I'll never stop, but I'll make it look as I did.
The 6th pic I find funny, it's on the wall of my favorites restaurant's mens room wall. It isn't vulgar but it does show some tinkling but nothing is shown but A PIDGIE! As usual if it offends anyone I'll gladly remove it.

That is so bad that you are having people problems Pete. I regret that you have to go through this with ignorant humans. Your pictures are beautiful, and well, the last one caught me by surprise , but when I saw the pigeon on the boy's head, well...it's all good Pete.

[Feather]

Hi Pete,

I'm sorry that you are having problems with your neighbors. Don't they know that we depend on you for the ARTS.

Thats O.K. Pete, Every picture that you post is special. You really do spoil us. You have to live next to these people, so do what it is that you need to do. Thank you for this last edition. The birds in flight are beautiful.
They were worth waiting up for.

hi Pete,

Your pictures of the pigeons are once again, such great quality and beautiful.

I'm sorry to hear about the neighbors. Unfortunately in a situation like that I'm sure you have to make some concessions for the welfare and safety of our feral flock. Too many complaints usually results in our ferals suffering the consequences.

Pete, did you remove the pictures? Don't see them - shoot!

DITTO...guess somebody didn't like 'em!

Moral of the story, Pete...SNEAK!! Become "DA SHADOW!!"

They were there just a few minutes ago. I am hoping our new printer arrives today, as I was hoping to make some copies. I have never seen pigeons in a tree. Maybe he had some computer problems? They were all very nice.

Ohhhh. ...the're back!!!!!!
