Pigeon

Two of my favorite moves.

Or cowlick? This is the sibling of the young pigeon i posted yesterday. Stretching out my content a bit, haha.

It grew up on the balcony above, this is one of its very first little flights. Don't think i saw it since.

And she also has a name.

Very witty title.

Just caught these two sitting together in the water dish 🥰 Made my day.

In a metro station. Pretty damn cool how it was sailing all the way down the long escalators.

I encountered this golden young pigeon today

This young pigeon showed up in our yard a few weeks ago. It was searching for food pretty much all day below a feeder that's hanging in the garden, desperately looking for scraps that the finches and tits would leave. I felt a bit sorry for it. When it made its way to the balcony i gave it some seeds but quickly stopped doing so again, because it started squatting the balcony for the whole day. I don't want it to think that life is about hanging out on the balcony, waiting for someone to show up with seeds.

A few days ago then i was watering the balcony plants in the evening and noticed pigeon shit on the basil. I looked up and there it was sleeping:

(was a lot darker than it seems on the photo)

It must have slept there the night before already. I moved the basil and built some kind of poo catcher. Quite impressive how much poo it left in a night 😅 It stayed for about five nights but yesterday it did not show up, i guess it was too busy on the balcony. Still leaving the poo catcher for now in case it shows up again tonight.
