I always get a kick out of the videos you post – this one had me in stitches! Makes me want to learn to knit and create a pigeon doll for my Rasputin
Hi Sarah, thanks for commenting. So glad you liked the videos!
Pigeons love to attack toys and it’s so funny to watch them do it.
I’m sure your pigeon, Rasputin, would love a soft toy to attack!
Mine have a stress ball about the size of an orange which they attack, and it rolls round the room so it is perfect, sometimes three of them are playing with it, I could create a pigeon football team!
Yay! Video Friday!
Get my ‘Pige-on’! Hehe
Would love to see a video of your pigeon football team, Becky!
Unfortunately I don’t have a video or camera, I have to wait for someone else to take photos for me!
I have some news, one egg has hatched today and the baby is under his mummy right now!I’m not sure if the other egg will hatch but she is still sitting on it.I am so nervous as the first baby we had, some months ago, died.I didn’t see the full hatching process today, but i did see when it started and the baby made a little hole in the shell, when i looked again a couple of hours later, he had already emerged.
