After yesterday’s egg laying drama (please read: Valentine present) Georgie is happy sitting on the egg in her own nest. I guess we’ll get a second one tomorrow, although last time Georgie only layed one egg.
I do end up missing Georgie’s company and attention when she’s incubating but I know that it’s probably better for her psychologically to go through the motions than to interrupt her broodiness. She’s such a sweetheart (and sometimes a real pain!) and every day I’m in awe of my pigeons. They are amazing creatures and although their continuous pooping can be a real pain in the backside sometimes, their love and affection towards us is so inspiring.
So far we have captured on video Georgie laying an egg three times. Last year she had layed one in Elmo’s nest, but that time he was on the floor so he didn’t know it.
Here are the videos:
God bless you two! Such loving, caring, beautiful souls. You are my favourite couple ever! I read your blog and watch your videos all the time. Thank you for showing the world what true humanity is about. Elmo and Georgie are so blessed to have met you two. May you be blessed with good fortune, great health and may all your dreams come true! Hugs from Singapore!
Thank you so much for your lovely words!! It is so nice to hear from someone who appreciates our pigeons and our blog. You’ve made my day.
Hi!
Happy incubating days. Yes, with pooping could be a disaster sometimes. I think that you can be happy that they don’t fly. You can imagine, after a night of sitting on egg, a poop from 2 meters high. It’s a disaster. In this case it’s almost necessary to teach how to use the toilet.

On photos: left “Little lady” a right “Terrible”. They are free birds. “Terrible” in the last time changed his lady to another.
But anyway they are sweethearts.
Blessings.
Hi Zdzislaw, your toilet training skills are really impressive! How did you manage it? Little Lady and Terrible are so beautiful.
You have to ask nicely. OK. You need to have a little time and be there when they change guard in the nest. Of course, if the nest is somewhere in the house. If it is outside, so also a pretty please do not force them to enter into the bathroom. If the pigeon give a permission to touch itself, so take it and put on the toilet quickly. They learn quickly. After, typically a few times, they learn to sit on a toilet by themselves. They do it by the first thing. After they fly out. If they don’t go to sit on the toilet it is better that they flew straight out. Otherwise it may be a total mess.
