Another newbie pic

[Pete Jasinski]

This little beauty showed up for the first time today. Has anyone else seen this color combination? S/he is a light cream and white with the most beautiful eye color I've ever seen on a pidgie. I took about 2 dozen pics of this lovely little pidge.

Beautiful kahki bar.

Actually they are both beautiful, as they compliment each other.

The ****er scotch bird is lovely by itself too!

Both birds are gorgeous. Never saw one like the beige pigeon. Beautiful markings.

I imagine those pigeons look so well because you feed them.

Wow that pigeon is so pretty what great colour like a peach brown kinda lol.

Great pics those pigeons and other birds that you feed all look so happy.

Thank you all! I've gone a little crazy with the camera lately, I could keep the board in pics for next few years
As you know today Lin, we had some nasty weather pass through. When the flock came in to eat today the pretty pidgie showed up with her friends looking pretty wet and unhappy. I feel so bad for these ferals, they're so hungry they'll stand there in a downpour just to get their fill of seeds

It's even worse in the winter time. Oh how they look so desperate then. I've had them fly after my car because they're so hungry. They recognize me that well. I try not to go overboard with the food. I give them a certain amount each day and that's it. The flock has remained about the same amount of birds maybe because of that.

We've had lots of rain lately and they were out there in that drenching rain looking for food and then they would spot me and follow my car to get something. I can't ever pass up Garye. I love that bird. She, Sue and Bronson usually always show up and I miss them when they don't. But usually within a few days or so, they reappear. Like Garye hadn't shown up for the last 3 days and then she showed up today.

I always miss the favorites and wonder about them when I don't see them.

Your bird reminds me of the redhead that used to hang out with my flock. Now it's gone. Had similar coloring, only a little darker. Called her Henrietta. Maybe one day I'll see her again, I hope.

Isn't that eye color called "bulls eye" by some of our members???

I think I remember reading that somewhere before.

I've heard bull's-eye used to refer to an all dark eye in the Old German Owls.

I try and put out the same amount of seed out every day but my flock seems to grow, I guess they put out the word and everyone shows up for the free meal.
I miss my regulars when they don't show up, I begin to worry somthing might have happened, the baby I saw the other day hasn't been back in some time so now I'm upset.
I hope you and Henreitta bump into eachother again, nothing beats a reunion with a loved one.

Hi Pete,

Nice pictures of your flock. It is sad to think that any being may be going hungry. Nice to know that your keeping N.N.J birds full. How about that little parrolett. I saw them for the first time a few years ago, until then I didn't even know the little darlings existed. Actually they had me in awe. I saw them at a pet expo. I stayed with the breeder quite awhile because I had never seen them before.

If it is not to much trouble Pete, would you post a picture of yours? How are they as pets? Anything like the big parrots? When I saw them, they looked a little fiesty.

That is a pretty pigeon. I hope she knows where she can get fed now. I know that you will be watching for her.

Garye, I can see how you would look for your regulars, and worry for them if they don't show. We have a couple of feral flocks around here, and ever so often, one or two will move in. At first they will just spend the day, and fly off at dusk, but after awhile they just stay.

Enjoy what is left of the evening,
Feather

[stach_n_flash]

wow i would catch her and keep her j/k

sure is pretty

[Garye]

Are these pigeons being fed in your yard? I wish I could feed my flock near my place but I know I'd get killed for doing so. I so enjoy watching them eat.
