Warning Pigeon MFN syndrone

[Boni Birds]

Today it seems Betti is suffering from a dreadful case of MFN- “Must Find Nest Syndrome” (All that time laying up in bed with me while I was ill gave her ideas) She started in the closet-accidentally left open, the dresser drawer, the bathroom cabinet –any kitchen cupboard I opened was fair game. I had taken all the books from one shelf in the bathroom, but oh no, that wasn’t good enough for her. Next it was her old carrier I dusted off and put up on the bed board. She followed me around the house in my hair- literally, on my shoulder watching everything I did, anxious –nervous, I knew, (we had been through this before- eminent egg coming). I bent down to get something in the refrigerator and in she went!! I think she figured if she sat on the egg carton I finally get it! I actually had to make her leave.
9 pm- We finally have egg now. Big sigh……..she choose the bottom hole in the cat-converted pigeon condo…..on top of the book shelf….Next phase coming UHM –“unhappy mate syndrome”.. how will I take my turn on the egg with it way up there???? No matter how I look at it, I will pay for that bed time…..

That's awesome...egg carton. It's like she's trying to communicate. lol

Just make sure you don't open that egg carton in front of her!

It already looks like she's suspicious: "Who else has been laying eggs around here?"

[amoonswirl]

That is hysterical! What a great image - she looks like she's saying, "NOW do you get the picture?? Sheesh!"

Congrats on being a daddy-bird once again

What a sweetie - if anyone ever thought bird faces can't have expressions, well ...

That is absolutely HYSTERICAL, Boni!! Obviously, you DA MATE!! What have you furnished before for nesting material??

That picture is priceless!! And, I agree, her expression says it all!!

Well, I guess Betti is also saying, I did MY part to HELP you...YOUR TURN!!

Please keep us updated!! I'm still ROFL!!

& Squeaks (who says he understands PERFECTLY! He doesn't lay an egg but is now in daddy mode SITTING on one! Oh yeah, AND MOLTING!)

It might be kinda hard for you to fit in that condo, LOL. As Phil would say, OYE!
The picture is precious. Betti is a darling.

She looks perplexed, as if to say "I thought this was the perfect place, why are you making such a fuss?" What a cutie pie she is.

LOL
She is a darling! What an expression like she's saying, "Helloooooo, do ya need an egg to fall on your head!!!"
Definitely an award winning pic!
Thanks for sharing!

You have such a funny bird.

Does she do this all the time when she's going to lay eggs?

Hysterical. Haven't laughed like this for quite a while.

Boni,

Betti looks like she's wondering why or accusing you of hiding this great little nesting place from her. With nice cooling, also!

I guess if you lie in bed ill, you might as well be doing something productive, like incubating. Nothing like egg-sitting to raise your spirits!

Yes- everytime she is desperate for "just the right place" drives us all nuts with her "looking" but we love her, and spend a lot of time thinking up places and making places to see if she likes them or not.
