Love Is In The Air aka The Pigeon Pad Is Now OccupiedI posted this picture a week or so ago of a feral pigeon checking out an empty carrier ..
 I did get it cleaned up, and he has successfully wooed a little feral blue check. They bill and mate often when out in the yard and then fly into their newly redecorated pigeon pad and survey their backyard kingdom from the comfort of home. I peeked in the carrier the other day to see if maid service was needed and found that they have made a pitiful start on a nest .. about three twigs in there  I've since tried to show him where the stash of nesting material is, but he has yet to carry any of it to her for approval or to place any of it in the pigeon pad.I suspect there will be a nest of some sort very soon followed by eggs and babies  Terry

Sure looks like a pleased pigeon John

Terry, this is not one of your rescued pigeons? Just one that visits you?
He is a pretty little guy.

The male who "discovered" the pigeon pad is actually one of Phil's youngsters that Phil brought to me quite a few months ago. This bird and some other youngsters were released into the duck pond flock a good while ago. This one returned for some reason about 5 or 6 weeks ago and has been hanging out in the back yard ever since. I know this one is one of Phil's as the bird had a funny little cowlick on the back of his head that was quite distinctive, and the pigeon pad bird has the same cowlick.

What a great way to reuse those old crates, they will be nice and dry out of the weather, great idea for people with balconies to put out for the ferals, when their done just take it to the car wash or hose it out. good stuff! keep us posted!

Very cute. It never ceases to amaze (and amuse!) me how they love new "real estate". It's always so exciting for them to find a new house.

What a clever bird! He's learned that people can be an excellent resource for an enterprising young bird! Do you also serve a Continental breakfast?
