Hello,
What a cutie! As Terry stated, if Lucy is a pet then you can get her some pigeon pellets as her diet after weaning, some pigeon fanciers/owners use the pellets and they are well balanced and vitaminized so if she likes it then that's great! Check locally and see if there is a place that sells pigeon food for fanciers and they should have some pellets. If not you can always get this stuff online and those members who do feed their birds pellets can help you out with that. ![]()

Our little girl is growing up!! First, thank you all so much for the kind words and support. I think all of the compliments have gone to Lucy Clyde's head, though, because she is now a truly spoiled little girl. Unfortunately, our good friends who gave us the iron chandelier didn't realize they were giving us a very expensive bird perch! When not running after us screaming for food, this is on of Lucy Clyde's favorite spots. However, she discovered this lookout point without us knowing. We FREAKED two days ago when we went out and she was nowhere to be found! Though the porch is locked and with very few places to hide, we moved furniture, looked inside the house, outside in the backyard...and all the while Lucy Clyde was preening and watching these crazy people run around calling her name. I'm sure she got a kick out of it. After the panic eased, we laughed...a lot. |

I can absolutely identify with your panic. A cat I was caring for did something similar by hiding in the fireplace (it was summer). You think you've looked everywhere and then there they are! LOL! By the way, what a beautiful blue check Lucy Clyde has become!

She is so sweet! Thank you for updating us!
But does anyone else suspect that the shape of her forehead is male? Not that I have had much success at sexing pigeons! Cynthia

Wow, how did I miss this thread earlier? I'm thinking it's my current obsession with Mel & Misty, heh.
I so enjoyed reading all the posts in here and Lucy Clyde is so beautiful! You have done such an awesome job and sound like a pro at this rescue stuff, lol! I'm still fumbling around and learning, but what an experience. Doesn't it feel amazing to see what love and attention can do? I'm sure you must of been thrilled the first time she flew, I can't wait to witness that myself. Good job and if I may ask, what are 'weaning pellets'? I hadn't heard of those before. I've heard of pigeon pellets, are they the same? The only thing I've been able to find at my local Petsmart is this bag of mixed seeds called "Supreme, Fortified Daily Blend" made for Doves, by Kaytee. After searching through all their seeds, it seemed to be the closest match for my pigeons. Thanks again for sharing, Izzy ![]()

Lucy Clyde is certainly beautiful.
You did a great job in raising her/him. I think Cynthia is right, the head looks like a male head. I love all your pics. Thank you. Reti |

What a beautifully marked bird Lucy Clyde has grown into! Good thing my birds came to me already paired, because I would have guessed female!
