It seems that our move up North has the full approval from our animals. They enjoy exploring our new home, especially visits out in the garden, which I ensure are regular occurences to give them a varied and interesting life. No animal should be stuck in a single place all the time.
Georgie nibbles my hand.
The other evening, after returning home and letting Elmo out of his secure area, Elmo walked with purpose into the kitchen and waited by the patio doors. I usually spend the evening chilling out after a long day at work, but I simply couldn’t ignore Elmo’s obvious gesture that he wanted to go outside. As soon as I opened the door Elmo hopped out and proceeded to preen himself in the cool evening wind (with me sitting by his side). He was so adorable, it was a pleasure to relax with him.
Elmo rock climbing!
Elmo also enjoys eating dirt. I believe he does it to receive minerals and little stones to aid digestion. Or he may simply like the taste! 
Georgie and Elmo continue to tease our cat, Hugo, by insisting on having baths in his water bowls. 
But they otherwise co-exist fine, no real drama to talk about. I still (foolishly) hope that one day they will all fall in love with each other and be one big happy family! Wishful thinking, I know, but miracles can happen (right?).
Georgie has a bath while Hugo watches.
Wet Elmo!
oh my Rev, I always have to laugh and poor dear Hugo… he just always seems so thoroughly trounced by a creature less than half his size!
Lovey-Dove’s first visit outside happened today… he was less than impressed with the grass on his little feet, but sure enjoyed being carried over to various things to make their acquaintance!

Hi Jools, thank you for contacting us. I don’t know of anyone personally in the area but please have a look at this link: http://www.pigeonrescue.co.uk/rescuecentresinengland.htm It may have some contacts on there who can help. I hope you find a forever home for Fred. I understand that it is upsetting but you need to do what is best for your pigeon. There are a lot of pro-pigeon people on Facebook so you can have a look for different pigeon rescue groups on there too.
