Homer, Biggles, Amber and Speckles


Hi all (especially Cynthia, Helen and Terry who helped so much), it's been a lonnnng time and I've kept meaning to check in and let you know how things are going. Well over a year now since Homer landed on us (remember Cynthia?) and we are now caring for 4 cock ex racing pigeons. All in really brilliant health (except for heavy and comical moulting right now ha ha) and all regained some form of flight.

Helen might remember Homer and the wing bandage for his dislocated wing. Well for about 6 months he couldn't fly at all, then we moved house and I made a MUCH larger loft and aviary, he started chasing Biggles all around (really bullies him!) and in his anxiety to catch Biggles he suddenly found he could fly again! Hilarious.

I only had the three of them when we moved but then a local racing pigeon fanatic was going to dispose of Speckles because he wouldn't race! I took him in and now he is nearly as tame as Biggles who is, as always, a total character. Biggest of all of them and soft as butter. Passionate about peanuts and sunbathing. Likes flying too when in the mood but I daren't let him out as the place is swarming with Sparrowhawks .


Anyway, hope you are all well.

Philip
