Power to the Pigeons

We recently added a light switch and outlet to the coop (Hooray!!!!). We attached a small handheld vacuum along the lower wall, so it would be more convenient to clean up the feather dust.

The past few mornings, the vacuum has been knocked askew. I finally figured out that Walter is trying to oust the intruder from his territory. I'd better check if the warranty covers pigeon attack.

Siily bird vaccum cleaners are for people. However I guess people have to find a new place for thier vaccums. HA HA

Maybe he doesn't like the vacuum cleaner taking up fron HIS space.

I can see how Walter is getting confused, your little vacuum is probably very similar in shape and appearance to a pigeon.
Walter sounds like he is very territorial, I have a pigeon Ash that is similar and he will not allow anything in his loft without alot of cooing and head bowing, even me!
This is a great post on pigeon behaviour, thanks for posting

Hi Terri,

When it comes to tampering with objects in "their" territory, looks like Walter is trying to outdo Cynthia's Snowflake:

These boys sure are something, aren't they?
