Georgie‘s food and water is in her cage on the chest of drawers in the living room. When she’s hungry she usually tries to fly to her cage – and fails miserably since she’s not a very good flier; generally flying backwards. So I have to pick her up and place her in the cage so she can eat and drink.
If, however, I’m out of the room and Georgie decides she wants a snack, she’ll first try to get to her cage, end up on the floor, then swiftly walk over to Elmo‘s feeding station (that’s on the floor) and steal his food.
You may ask why Georgie’s cage isn’t on the floor too so she can access it easily? Well, firstly, it can get a bit cold on the floor so her cage is higher up, and secondly, there is no space to put her cage on the floor (it fits perfectly on the chest of drawers). Georgie knows she’s not allowed to take Elmo’s food – he’ll attack her if he finds her in it – but she’s crafty and determined, and will try her luck!
I caught her in action yesterday:
To test her determination I once blocked the entrance of Elmo’s feeding station. Georgie, not to be outdone, jumped over the side!!
LOL!! May be its her little way to tell Elmo-” look, I know you are a big boy.. But I am not afraid of you.. I am a brave little girl too.. ”
I have seen many of their videos and read a lot about them.and I think both of them are of two very different personalities.. Georgie is shy,quiet,determined.. Elmo is show off,sleepy,bossy..but both Elmo and Georgie are very adorable, happy,healthy and special pigeons.. its clearly visible in many of their videos that they both love you and your husband very much..and all four of you share a very special and strong bond..
Thanks for sharing..
Such nice videos, thank you so much for sharing, I love visiting your site to find out what Elmo and Georgie have been upto!
Hi Vaishali, you’ve totally understood our Elmo’s and Georgie’s personalities!
Elmo is a show off and flirt and Georgie is shy and reserved. Thank you for your kind words. We love our pigeons dearly and try to give them the best life a disabled pigeon can have!
Hi Neil, glad to share! Just trying to show people that feral pigeons are lovely birds.
I hope I can keep you entertained with the adventures my pigeons have.
Looks like Georgie is feeling better!
Glad to see she’s getting into some mischief, too.
