He may be keeping you from his mate...afraid you might steal her away from him...or...he may be protecting newly laid eggs.
I think you should ignor his behavior.

Well, I just went outside to break up the ice on the sidewalks and, sure enough, Peter followed me around. He walks behind me like a duck! So funny! I don't feel intimidated by his behaviour so maybe he is just *hanging out* with me. Thanks for the response, FP!If they are eating out of your hand, it does sound as though they are comfy enough w/you to feel as though they can take the liberties of 'gifting' you w/'pigeon talk', so to speak.

What are you feeding them?I've been feeding Peter, a wild pigeon who lives in my eavestrough, quite a bit lately as it's been really cold and very VERY snowy for weeks on end. Honestly, there's about 3 feet of snow on the ground these days. Anyway, he is now tame enough that he eats out of my hand. The other day I was out shovelling snow, and he flew at me. I have no idea what he was trying to do. Today, he's been the same. He'll fly up in the air right into my face. He has had lots of feed so I know he's not hungry. Is he getting aggressive, or is this some kind of bonding thing? What do you think I should do.....?
I'm just feeding them wild bird seed, which consists of sunflower seeds,white millet, wheat and red milo. They usually leave a few seeds behind.What are you feeding them?
Are they leaving alot or any seed behind after meals?
My pigeons will fly in my face do when they want my attention, usually they want more snack seeds, the good tasting ones.
