I love the way Elmo sleeps. He sleeps so deeply and looks so comfortable that I try not to wake him up. … Oh, ok, I sometimes wake him up because I have to give him a kiss! I cannot help it! He looks so cute!!

Elmo has also mastered the “standing on one leg while falling asleep” stance. Please see: Sleeping beauty. 
And when Elmo is dreaming and he nods his head and twitches in his sleep, it’s so adorable. Occasionally he’ll wake himself up with a “woof”. I don’t know how many of you have heard a pigeon “woof” before but it’s such a wonderful little sound. It just comes out suddenly and sounds so foreign that often I look at Elmo and wonder what he’s trying to say. I believe the “woof” sound is made when the pigeon sees something they are worried about and it may be a kind of alarm sound. Our previous pigeon, Dora, used to woof too (I mentioned it in Angry Dora, Sweet Dora).
I tried to take a photo of Elmo alseep on the floor from the other end of the coffee table but Elmo woke up and danced towards me in glee. 
Elmo is awake!
"I'm so happy to see you!"
I love reading your stories and thanks for sharing! Yes, I would be so worried all the time. Walking around with my head to the floor so I wouldn’t kick them accidently! I’m sure those concerns are yours as well etc….
Elmo’s a lovely looking pigeon, maybe he’s a little camera shy and can sense when it’s around. Maybe you should recond Elmo’s woof so we can all hear it. Great blog by the way – it was a well deserved entry in our top 50 pet blogs recently. Keep up the good work.
What a sweet pigeon, thanks for sharing.
Hi Frank, yes, those are my concerns, especially since Elmo and Georgie don’t fly about, just walk. Occassionally Elmo or Georgie will sneak up behind us and we’ve knocked them back accidentally, but we are careful and I’m always mindful of checking before I sit down, etc.
Hi Chris, thank you for your comments! I didn’t know our blog was on that list, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. Nice to know our blog is appreciated.
Regarding Elmo, he’s not camera shy at all – in fact, he loves to dance for the camera, which is why I can find it hard to get a good photo of him since he moves about so much in his excitement. 
Thanks, Neil. We are happy to share!
Hiya,
Yeah you have come in at number 33 – you can see the list here: http://blog.monsterpetsupplies.co.uk/themonster50/
It’s a very exclusive group as obviously there are only 50 of the top sites in the UK despite there being hundreds of animal blogs out there. There is actually a badge of honour that only members of this list can use/embed. It’s a simple bit of code to copy and paste and it shows you are in the top 50 pet bloggers. We would be thrilled if you posted your badge and maybe mentioned our list. There is going to be a lot more going on with this list in the future, so stay tuned to it.
Keep up the blog though – I thought it was great.
Best wishes,
Chris
