Guard PigeonI have had the unfortunate opportunity to be bit ill lately. Had to spend the last two days in bed. I discovered the tenacity and concern that Betti showed while I was too sick to know. She perch on me for over 24hrs just taking time to run eat something and then fly right back. Whoa to the wary person who tried to bring me water, or pull her from me for a PGWear diaper change-There was much pecking and hard wing slapping! When she was weary of watching me sleep, she would wake me up by pulling my eye lashes and beg for petting. A truer guard pigeon there never was! Pigeons never stop amazing me with their family attitudes. I am so lucky!

That is so cool! I was just thinking of posting to ask if anyone uses those bird diapers, and here you are! So, do you love them? And, what size? I saw on the website they recommended a large/wide for pigeons. How does your bird like them?
I have heard they are loyal, I guess you are finding out!

Roxy, Boni is the inventor of PGwear--when you order, you give your pigeon's measurements, and she makes each one to fit individually. So I'm not sure what website you were looking at. This is hers: http://www.birdwearonline.com/
We use her diapers for our pigeons, and they work great!

Roxy may be referring to the Flight Suits, which were developed BEFORE Boni came up with her "new and improved" version!
I have a Flight Suit AND a PGWear...Boni's is just GRRRREAT! Shi

Boni, I hope you're feeling better soon. I am familiar with the "guard pigeon" aspect with Sophie. Sometimes I will lie down to rest or nap, and Sophie wants to perch on my arm/hand thrown across my chest. Not my chest, but the arm or hand. If my arm or hand is at my side, she fidgets from foot to foot until it is obligingly placed there for her. Then, she stands guard for awhile, but then her little eyes start to....get....sooo...sleepy...and soon she has dozed off. Of course, if anyone comes near, she is wide awake and it is pecking and wing flapping, she is especially fearsome against the poor doggie who jumps up on the bed. Even though he is 70 pounds, she makes sure he doesn't get too close, and he just warily watches her and sleeps on the foot of the bed. When she is bored with this, she wakes me up by insistent pecking of that same hand, pulling on the tips of my fingers until I wake up. Pigeons are very interesting!

That is such a sweet story! I have one or two birds who like to sit on my shoulder but none that have really bonded. I have experienced having my earlobe 'eaten' and lots of 'styling' of my hair.

That is so sweet. They are very attentive and the ones that are closest to you always seem to know what's going on and respond appropriately. Obviously you weren't feeling well and had to be protected while weak!
That's so cute.
