Has your pet pigeon ever done this?

[Lin Hansen]

Hi Victor,

I may have made the same comment on that previous thread, but my experience has been that the pigeons and squirrels by me seem to ignore each other. I scatter seed in my driveway for the flock and put peanuts in the shell on my back porch for the squirrels that visit. I have a couple of pigeons who will come up on the porch and peck at the shells to get to the peanuts. If a squirrel happens to be sitting there and eating at the same time, he pays them no mind and just continues to sit there and eat. Also, I have seen a squirrel sitting in the middle of the flock that are eating seeds, eating the sunflower seeds in the mix, and again, everyone seems to ignore each other. I believe it was said that squirrels could be a danger to baby birds in the nests, but I think if everyone is fully grown and there is enough food for everyone, there would probably be no problems.
Too bad no wife and no camera, that would have been a great picture with you hand feeding the birds and squirrels at the same time!
