New family Pigeons


I recently got together with another member here on PT and took in Four Fan tails! I had been pining away for such a bird since I first saw one on this site. Now I have four!!
Stormy and Shilo are an adult couple, right now they are taking up residence with Mr. Hooters and fanny. We call them Mr. and Mrs. Zidders for all the head/neck shimming that this bred evidently does. The babies, Siddhartha and Roja have taken up residents in the very cool indoor/outdoor cage we made. We are having great fun with them. Attached are pictures of the pen placed just outside a porch window, with a cat pet door installed so they can come in and out when it is open -best thing we ever invented in cages! Betti is demonstrating the door.

What a cutie Love the look in her eyes too. I'm curious - in the last picture there's a fireplace screen in front of the cage - is that there for a reason? I'm asking because one of two cats is quite fascinated with our birds and I'm wondering if you put the screen there to deter other animals from getting in too close to cage. Would love to see pictures of all four fantails!

Boni is truly the Thomas Edison of pigeons! And such a sly look on the birdie's face using the door, like she knows what a clever trick it is! I love it!
