I’m not sure Elmo is impressed with this new addition.
Elmo has a long history of attacking any soft toy that we try to pair him up with. I guess Elmo really does only have eyes for his human mate, Richard.
We wish our darling, funny boy a very happy hatchday! Elmo is now 13 years old!
HAPPY HATCHDAY, ELMO DEAR!
Elmo enjoyed his birthday treats (with Georgie trying to join in) and had some exercise in the garden. He loves it out there!
For those of you who are not familiar with Elmo’s story, please read the following short bio:
Elmo is a feral pigeon and hatched in 2000. He was found as a baby with paramyxovirosis which he recovered from but was left with permanent damage (such as balance problems and inability to fly properly). He was living indoors with a lady and became imprinted on humans, craving their attention.
In 2008 Elmo was brought to a wildlife rescue centre for rehoming after his owner was unable to continue to look after him.
Due to his unique nature Elmo had to be rehomed to a household that could give him the attention and care he needed, since Elmo doesn’t like other pigeons at all and wouldn’t be happy in an aviary. The staff at the rescue centre knew that since we already had an indoor pigeon, we most likely wouldn’t mind having another one, so when they asked us if we could adopt Elmo it didn’t take us long to say yes!
