What a glorious day it has been today! Since the sun decided to make an appearance I quickly set up the run in the garden to give Georgie and Elmo a chance to be out in the sunshine.
And they loved it! It’s been a while since they’ve been outside and they enjoyed every opportunity to soak up some rays (the sun started to play peek-a-boo behind some clouds) and to peck at the grass and earth.
Since both Elmo and Georgie are disabled and cannot fly properly, we put them in the run for their own safety (not at the same time otherwise Elmo would attack Georgie!). I also had Georgie on the grass outside of the run for a while (when it was Elmo’s turn in the run) and kept a very close eye on her in case she decided to flap into the air and be carried away by the wind.
Elmo is usually a bit scared in the garden but today he was a champ. He saw a bit of dirt and started pecking at it and then preened himself in the sun. He wasn’t bothered by anything.
I took a little video of Georgie but she wasn’t sure about the camera (you can see her backing away at the sound of the camera in the beginning and end of the video).
cute pics..it seems Elmo is feeling sleepy….. is it so?

Hi Vaishali, I think Elmo was simply enjoying being outside and he didn’t move about a lot, only to peck at the earth and to preen a bit. He usually shakes and shivers in fear when outside, but this time he didn’t. He was quite serene.
Really gorgeous.I love seeing what your pigeons have got up to.
Mine laid the second egg of this batch, two minutes ago.I actually saw her doing it this time, and went over to the nest and saw her lay it, so I was really excited.
Pigeons are wonderful pets.
Yeah, they’re so adorable. It’s nice seeing a movie on Georgie! She’s wonderful.
Thanks, Becky. Glad you managed to see your pigeon laying her egg!
Thanks, Frank. I’ll let Georgie know that you think she’s wonderful.
