Spa Day- In the Puddles!

[clucklebeed]

I have 15 boxes and 2 perches, and 15 birds with a baby on the way.
3 birds sit on the ground, 2 sit on the perches, i sits on a ledge and 9 occupie all 15 boxes. Warril has 3 boxes, Mistew has 3 boxes, and Mistewthe2nd has 3 boxes while cutie and warrilthe2nd have 3 boxes they share. El Pollo Loco is starting to control his 3, and after Avila had started to settle in one of those, he began chasing her out and didn't let her come back. so It's pretty much all of the males who are doing this, Mistewthe2nd is just the worst. How ever, they are not very dominant on the ground, but Mistewthe2nd still tends to chase and coo like it was his own territory.

You should have more perches than birds. And don't let them take more than their own first box. You shouldn't have cocks that can't have a box. Once they think of a box as their own, it's pretty hard to change their mind. The boxes that aren't being used should be closed somehow so that they can't take them over. And DON'T let them chase another one out and take their box. Not easy, pigeons can be stubborn. And harder to correct after the fact.

I took some pics of Rocko today... Never really realized how pretty she was.

Actually, Rocko has a pretty weird stry of how she got her name.
Before I had got my pigeons, I was always anxious because I knew they were on the way but I didn't know when they would come. I had a habbit of making little cooing sounds and saying "rockose rockose" which later evolved into "rocko rocko" And as I was pacing around the area where the loft was to be built, Cooing and saying rocko, I decided I would name one of my birds that. And Rocko seemed to get just the right name, she is as fussy as a bird can get

Well, she's very pretty.

She has many babys that look like her, Perserverence, Greenie, Squeakers, they all look like her with the little white splotches.
