My pouter is lonely...I have one (impulse buy from a pigeon show) pouter that is about 2-3 years old and this is probably the the third time today that she's been trying to chat up one of my fantails (the fantail called Homer...hehehe)
anyway, i think that she is lonely, she tried to foster Pooper's eggs a few days ago... so i put a few dummy eggs into a nestbox and now she's sitting on them and biting anything or anyone who tries to steal them. Should I buy her a mate?

trying to find a matei am trying to find a mate from somewhere close to my district. today she sat on the dummy eggs for nearly five hourse before i had to push her off so that she could have a little bit of food and water. I also had to shove Milo away for a bit so she didn't get biffed by his wings (see Friendly Feral?! for details).
she seems okay right now, but her poops REALLY STINK and are REALLY HUGE!  anyway, i had a talk with the neighbors, and they agreed to not let their kids mangle my birds. the downside is that they bought a pair of meat pigeons from a local market and now the kids are trying to "tame" them.  *sigh* when will they ever learn? i saw a nice red pouter yesterday that Powderpuff (the pouter) would like but it turns out that "it" was female...  so i am surfing the 'net for an internet bargain...

i went to the market again today (once in a while they have some second-class show birds, but most of the time its just meat pigeons). And i didn't find another pouters (there was a one capuchine there, but he was a little ugly and had a bad posture) but i saw the HUGEST, FATTEST, MOST ADORABLE meat pigeon... so I had to take him home.
here is a photo: [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss107/Snowy_pied_chic/MEATPIJ_2.jpg[IMG] i know he's not perfect but i knowi saved him from a possibly horrible fate (most families around this area will buy them in dozens to cook... how could anybody eat a pigeon?) Anyhow, i'm still searching for a mate (someone bought the other pouter i saw earlier  i guess i'll go looking for more pet shops tomorrow...)
