Beeks's Progress

If Beeka is not in her cage, this is where you'll find her.

Adorable picture. Beeka is so pretty too. Our pet pigeon Vinnie loves shoes too - can't stay away from them. Hope the Dinkster is doing well.

The Dinkster is well. Though Beeka is very interested in him, mostly because he's the only pigeon around I guess, the only attention he pays to her is to chase her when she ventures into the places he regards as his, and his alone.

I don't know how Beeks stands the smell in my slipper!

LOL, Renee, if Beeka is like Vinnie, the slippers probably smell like perfume to her!

Something happened with our Beeka today that was both interesting and heart wrenching. While I was giving The Dinkster his daily treat of dried out white American cheese, I noticed that Beeka was watching. So that she would not feel left out I broke of a few more pieces and placed them near her. She tried to peck them up, however each strike she made at it missed the target piece of cheese a half inch or so to the right. I tried bunching the pieces together to make the target bigger, but she still missed to the right. This I think is not the result of poor eyesight, but rather of her lopsided beak, which I believe gives her an off center prospective on things close to her. Watching little Beeka want this treat so badly, and being unable to get a hold of it was pitiful. Ultimately I put the half dozen or so pieces in her food dish where she was eventually able to grab on to them.

Oh............................that is sad. Well, at least you were able to find a way to get them to her. Do you think that maybe a small dish that she could reach into, sort of like her food dish that she was able to get it out of? That one dish could be used for her treats. She would get used to that. And it would make it easier for her to pick it up. Just an idea.

Bless little Beeka! I agree with Jay3 about a special container for treats that Beeka can easily manage. What about filing down the tips of the upper and lower beak a bit so that the offset isn't so significant?

Ya know, filing down the tips of the beak that way just might work.

Cheese? In my opinion you are asking for problems with feeding them that. JMHO. Dave
