As many of you may already know, the Pigeons as Pets team have moved to Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the north of England. The move went smoothly and we’ve all settled in nicely in our new home. Both Elmo and Georgie are in good health and have explored the house and garden, and seem to give us their approval of the new spacious surroundings. Phew! 
We have a new addition to our family now, Hugo the cat! He turned up as a stray two years ago and adopted us as his new family (we did try to find out if he had an owner, but with no luck). Before moving Hugo had a full check up at the vets and was microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and given the all clear health wise. And yes, it is confirmed that he is a boy, albeit a neutered one (the condition in which he first showed up, which is why I wasn’t sure).
Hugo is a very placid, loving cat. He’s afraid of our pigeons and always gives them a wide berth when walking passed them. Naturally, we keep an eye out when they are all in the same room, and at night or when we’re not at home Elmo and Georgie are safely in their respective cages in the living room which Hugo hasn’t got access to.
It will be interesting living with a cat and two pigeons, but I know other pigeon people out there do the same!
Here are some photos of our beloved animals in their new home:
Elmo enjoying the sunshine in the garden.

Georgie napping on my lap.

Glad the move went well, Elmo, Georgie and Hugo look so happy in their new home!
I am glad you are all settling in! Your little family is so cute!
Thank you, Neil! We’ll post more photos soon.
Thank you, Kat! They’re all doing well together. More photos to come soon.
always love seeing pics of your precious ones! love the bath in the kitty’s dish! and Hugo and his carrot? That is a pic worth framing I think!
Hi Cara Louise, the kitty dish bath is getting out of hand now! Elmo loves it!!
I think Hugo is too scared to drink from it now. LOL. Yes, the carrot photo is precious. I love to see Hugo hugging it! 
Our little family consists of two dogs, a cat, and a Pigeon. Our Pigeon leaves the cat alone and vice versa. When we aren’t home, we do make sure the cat is outside, or our Pigeon is in another room with the door closed, just to be on the safe side. And our Pigeon always drinks from our dogs’ water bowl, and she takes her baths in it too….then we clean it out before we let the dogs use it.
Hi Diane, thanks for commenting. It’s nice to hear of other people who have a mix species household. Pigeons tend to be the boss of the household and take all sorts of liberties.
