On the sofa enjoying a TV programme. When I turn my head to see what Georgie is up to I see that she’s on the backrest trying to feed the corner of a cushion. … What a silly girl! She has the cushion in her beak and she’s shaking her head about, trying to regurgitate a bit of food. Then she swings around and dances up and down the sofa backrest before presenting herself to be mated. I just turned back to the TV, totally incapable of commenting on her outrageous misplaced behaviour.
Later that evening I find Elmo picking bits from his mineral pick-pot. He LOVES his pick-pot, so much so that the white patch of feathers on his chest have now turned pink – from all the time he spends leaning against the red minerals!
I tried to take a photo of him with his head in the pot but Elmo became too excited over the camera and wasn’t cooperating. Sadly, this photo doesn’t show the delicate shade of pink his feathers are now. They may look white, but trust me, they are pink!
I love reading about Elmo and Georgie, so funny!
cute boy Elmo !! the color is more visible above his beak than on his chest… and he poses so nicely in front of the camera..:-)
Glad you enjoy the blog, Neil! Thank you for reading.
Yes, Elmo is such a poser!
Thanks for reading, Vaishali.

Thought you might like to see mine, this is my paired couple, the girl is light brown and the boy is dark brown, and I also have two boys, one white and one grey.
I like to read what your pigeons have been up to and sometimes I think “oh yes mine do the same!”
Aaaw, your pigeons are so beautiful, Becky! Thank you for sharing! I agree, when I read about the behaviour of other people’s pigeons I think, “I know what you mean, mine are the same!” It’s nice to know that you’re not alone!
LOL my pigeon just invented a new foot warmer, he is right now asleep on my foot, lying on his tummy with his eyes closed.Their underneaths get very warm, I guess because they sit on eggs.Now I’m stuck here till he wakes up!
That is hilarious, Becky!
A pigeon foot warmer!!
And yes, now you’re stuck! I often find that when Georgie falls asleep on my lap. Cannot move until she wakes up.
