Excellent pic, Kippy.

As someone said a little while back, more like feathered angels

Aren't they just beautiful?
I see them as little angels.

Great photo Kim.
Hands down, pigeons are indeed beautiful birds.

If we were to look closely, I'm sure we would see some of the same pigeons in Kim's flock that are in mine. I think they come to my house for breakfast, spend the day frolicking about then head over to Kim's for dinner.

It's so good to know that at least some of our feathered friends have a good life.
Bless you both, Cindy and Kim.

This one time i was walking and i found a pigeon with a pellet in him (some jerk decided to shoot him) and i took the bullet out and wrapped up the bleeding spot then i took it to the zoo ( theres a , bird "something " i forgot what its called there.) and it later died...samething happened to a squirrel but this one recovered

[elvis_911]

Hi Reti,
Since none had any unusual markings, I really can't say for sure, however, to this day there is one that follows me when I'm feeding or cleaning cages that insists on 'growling' at me.
Betty always growled at me when I would go near their cage. The others in the flock are too busy trying to get each other's seed to growl.
So in my heart I know that's Betty. I'm hopeful Eli & Lillian are not far away.

Hi Elvis,
They don't actually live with me. This is a feral flock that started out with about 15-20 pigeons two years ago & has grown to 80+ today.
They arrive early for breakfast, then some bathe in the water, some bathe in the sun, some just walk about the yard. They all know they have no fear of predators while they visit our backyard.

I love it when they begin to gather overhead in the morning. One or two may start, then a few more will join in & a few more until the flock is complete at which time they make about three more circles finally landing for a well deserved breakfast.

Thankfully, I don't get many ill or injured, but when I do, some have actually walked up to the backdoor, sat there & waited patiently for me to come rescue them.

Gotta love their intelligence!

Cindy , Do they lay their eggs and build nests near your home or on it? or do they just come from meals?

Yes, actually some have. They especially enjoy nesting atop Mikko's cage, which is on our covered patio.
When I see a pair beginning to build a nest, I check daily for any eggs. Any I find are replaced with artificial ones. I'm a strong supporter of pigeon 'birth control'.
