Richard received a surprising gift from his Secret Santa at work, and he couldn’t wait to show them to Elmo when he got home. Meet Fergie and Scarlet, the newest members of our pigeon family:
We think they’re awesome – a lovely Christmas present! – however, Elmo wasn’t impressed at all:
Georgie didn’t like the sound they made so she ran away whenever she heard them near her.
We tried again to introduce Scarlet and Fergie to Elmo without him pecking them.
Richard calmed Elmo down and then placed the toys near him in his nest, and Elmo tolerated them while he cooed and twitched to Richard:
We’ve already learnt that Elmo does not like any other pigeons in the home (our attempts with Dora, Minnie, and Button have all been a failure), so we really should stop collecting other pigeons (even inanimate, or in this case, animate ones). But I cannot help myself. Pigeons are simply too adorable.
Oh my God that is hilarious! Thumbs up to Richard’s secret Santa for delivering this amazingly absurd gift to you
A happy Xmas to Elmo and Georgie and you too!
Thank you! I hope you had a good Christmas too.
