Will Santa have a present for your pigeon?


Here is hoping your pigeon(s) will recieve a gift this holiday season. What is a good gift for a pigeon? A nice nesting spot? A cask of peanuts?

Well, some nice Millet Sprays, Anise Seeds, small flake Purple Dulce, a complete circa 1937 set of 'Williams' half-inch-drive Sockets, with the Breaker Bar and Ratchet in the factory Steel carry case...some 'small' ( 'people-grade' ) raw Spanish Peanuts...some colorful stick-on-bows for their backs, nice clean Pine long Pine Needles and fine twigs and clean, long, found-Feathers for Nesting materials...and...

You know, if there is anything there they do not seem interested in, or can't use...then I will help them out...


Lol...

Mine have asked Santa for raw unsalted shelled sunflower seeds. They can't get enough of the stuff.

We always get the loft a bag of safflower seeds to eat at their own discretion. They... uhh... really don't have any, though. It reminds me of a dog with a hamburger.

haha, its funny you ask that question...my grandmother always gets the grandkids' dogs presents like a few bags of treats or a bed or bone or something and she just called me this weekend to ask me what Winnie (my pidgeon) would want. hahaha. Winnie asked Santa for a mate, and that is in the process. Other than that I'm really not sure what to get him.

I remembered seeing some previous threads that discuss some good ideas for Christmas gifts for our feathered friends.......

Here is an excellent thread that contains much discussion on the various toys and such that many of our members provide for their pigeons. You should enjoy reading it and it may give everyone some good ideas. Just click on it:

Good links, Linda, I liked the bed of grass to lay on idea, and the pigeon candy.
I found a mirror w/a bell on it which is also a hit.

Santa's only doing stocking stuffers (peanuts, spray millet, etc.) for Robbie because this silly pidge has a Mum & Dad, Aunt & Uncle, Grandma and Great-Grandma that are already spoiling him rotten! So far he's got two new outfits, a bunch of toys and a stuffy bird to open Christmas morning, so Santa doesn't have much left to shop for... lol think my family's anxious for grandkids or what? (hehe too bad for them, I like having Robin as the only spoiled baby)

What a guy, Phil! I'll bet your birds are so happy to have you step up and help with the "unwanted" gift(s) Nice touch, though, to kind of sneak your Christmas wish right in there

Hi Terry,


Lol...

Well...gotta keep the old Van running good, ( and knock-on-wood it IS running so nice and looking good, I have been completely delighted with it in every way...) that way I can get my paying outside Carpentry work done, get supplies for my inside workshop work things, so that way the 'Seed Well' won't run dry...

So, it really IS for 'them'...just kind of indirectly...

Thats what I told them anyway...so, "shhhhhhh"...


Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Happy-Things to all the little Beaks and Bills...and to all of use too...!


Love,

Phil
Las Vegas
