New Arrival - Spot the Difference


This is the 10th pigeon to arrive this week end. She fell from her nest which is in a tree and liable to flooding. Another Serenity-the- Dove- of- Peace look-alike!

Wow, I had to do a double take. When the picture came up I first thought, at a glance, what is that pigeon doing with the symbol on his tummy. Then realized it was stuffed! l0l

Cynthia, that is a great picture. Golly, 10 in one week. Sounds like it used to be here at our house. Hope the others are doing well.

Hehehe...

I usually stuff my little ones, but not like that...!

Lol...

What a little charmer..!

How do you come to have White Pigeons - Doves in the out of doors there Cynthia?

I rarely see them here, but sometimes, the Wedding-Release or 'white' Pigeon maybe from a Magidian's Show or other escapee joins the feral flock, and before long I start seeing their White-and-other-color youngsters accompanying them to graze and forrage...making quite beautiful combinations of course...

Best wishes to your new arrive! - and to the other week's "nine"..!

And to you as well...!


Oye! Thats a handfull...!

Eeek! This one arrived after I left, so that pic is a first for me too. They both really do look like tiny Ty Serenities, except for the missing peace sign. I'm sure she will grow up to be a beautiful, dainty bird like Serenity #2 now is.

Phil - there is a whole flock of white pigeons, some fantails some not, living around a church close to the riverside. The couple responsible for the presence of all but two of the white pigeons in our aviary feed the flock, along with the waterfowl. I believe they originated from a few who were kept in a garden dovecote at a pub close by, but went feral when the place changed hands and the dovecote was removed.

Cynthia - Very cute new arrival! Amazing similarity to the stuffed bird. I also had to do a double take!

That is the cutest


picture. After reading your post regarding the nest in a tree, I have never seen a pigeon or a dove in a tree. Do pigeons ever nest in trees? I only see them on wires and roof tops usually apt or commerical buildings.

Depending on the breed, Pigeons ussually prefer buildings and ledges but doves (here anyway) will almost always nest in trees bushes or shrubs
