Squidget Snores?


Do Pigeons snore? If not what is that snoring sound Squidget makes when he is sound asleep? He does this when I am holding him in a heated bath towel after his bath and his eyes are closed and he is all comfy and sleeping!

And no I haven't been eating any hemp seeds! Lol

uh-oh...I could have SWORN that Squidget was a PIGEON! Now, he's purring?? He hasn't shown a preference for cat chow and going out at night, has he? Is he growing FUR??

A purring pigeon...that's a new one on me. Squeaks will groan and moan in varying degrees of intensity but he's quiet when he sleeps - I think! I'm SURE that it's only BUBBA, my geriatric cat, who snores loudly next to my head!

Any picture updates on Squidge so I can be sure he's still a pigeon? LOL

"Purring"


Izze makes a sort of purring noise sometimes. It's very quiet. I almost have to have my ear against her to hear it, but it seems to happen when she is excited, not when she is dozing off.

Pigeons do have an odd set of noises they can make!

Think that the purring is maybe a better description, yes I've heard that. But I'm sure that however Squidget does it, it's irresistably adorable .

Tiny and Oliver purr when excited or content. Tiny does it when he sleeps on my shoulder. I think that is so cute.

I have heard Skye make a purring sound and kind of shake when he is on my shoulder, it is too cute.

Isn't it wonderful these little endearing qualities they have.

I can't imagine having snoring pigeons....as I get to hear enough of that from the hubby..... LOL

My Simon and Rosco - oops, Onslow, do this when they are both on my shoulders. I think of it as a purring sound and it is when they are snuggled down but still awake. It is a sign of true love and contentment.

You better NOT be sending Victor a Rosco! You were never on my list of suspects. However, If TRUE, you are a BAD GIRL, misleading us all!
