"My" Flock


I've decided to share some pics of my extended family. These guys and gals are great! They wait on my roof above my bedroom windows and coo all morning until I come down to feed them, then they skim over my head and run to my feet for breakfast. I wish I could take them all in!
Here's a link to my flock's super sized pic. It's amazing to see these guys and gals in flight! http://www.elliotscoins.com/images/myflock.jpg

Nice looking flock


Thanks for sharing your pijjies with us.
The black & white pij in your first photo looks like he could be a relative to one in my flock.

I have enough pics to use up all you disk space probably! The flock is very photogenic. Who know's, our two black & whites could be related somewhere down the line

I've had pigeons around so much of my life I could never imagine there are places you actually have to commute to to see these lil fellas. I have 2 flocks in 2 seperate locations I feed and water, I'd gladly ship one over for your enjoyment It'll cut my seed cost in half, who am I kidding I'll still by the same amount and just find another flock to feed elsewhere. My pijis know my truck also! They see me driving down the road and they'll fly overhead and follow me down the street and land on my roof as I pull into the driveway.
I'm lucky, my area is teaming with birds to feed. I have my flock of 50 to 60 pigeons, 25 to 30 doves, a cardinal family, a hairy & redheaded woodpecker family plus hundres of sparrows and finches.

Speaking of photos,I was browsing through Webshots.com at the office and found a feral pigeon that resembles our Tooter, so I downloaded it! Most of my office screensavers have been transit buses.Carob on my desktop is so much relaxing to look at!By the way, yours and mine very well may be related! ~Victor

Great pictures, Pete. I will join the club here, and also say that some of "my" birds may be related to yours....although in our case, there is a good chance that it's true with the flocks being only a couple of miles apart! LOL

Ya know Linda they just might be the same flock. They must know where the suckers are! They're here for breakfast and then hang out for a few hours. They probably hit your house later on in the day for brunch. What a life! Eat, fly rest, poop and sleep!

I was just wondering ... When you feed the feral flocks do you ever see birds with bands? That has really been crossing my mind lately and I know where a huge flock lives and I was thinking of going to feed them this week just so I can get a closer look at them. I always look at them when I am driving to work.
