My God! That's One Of Bronson's Kids!


I went to visit the ferals. They flew over but something scared them and they all took flight - except one - who bore an uncanny resemblance to Bronson. Looked exactly like Bronson - same homing pigeon shaped head, same color as Bronson, only it was younger and had no bands. Definitely a feral but looked like a homing pigeon. It just had to be one of Bronson's kids all grown up. I couldn't believe my eyes! She definitely started a family with a feral that she had married. Wished I had brought my camera. I would've taken a pic so you all could see, but I wasn't prepared for this!

Well I guess congratulations are in order for Bronson and mate......I am sure that was a welcomed sight.

Thanks for sharing, and please do take your camera next time your visiting.

I got some pix of Bronson's kid!


They're not the greatest, but I think you can tell by the shape of the head that this bird has definitely some homer in it. There are no bands on the legs. It's a feral and I think it's probably one of Bronson's kids.

Very pretty bird, Garye, I love it when they have those 'eye liner' markings
Glad to know that Bronson has enjoyed the local ferals and 'the life'....

Sure looks like a homer head to me. Beautiful little bird. All the pigeons in your flock look healthy. I love the pictures you take with them "high stepping".
