Having two hens is not always easy. Pugeons are social, like many birds. So you have to interact with them. You play, cuddle, scratch their head. However it gets really tiring sometimes.

Started hatching yesterday and finally finished today. Its strong, noisy and sweet.


Does anybody know why this pigeon is colorful? I took this picture the other day and saw this pigeon again today.



This post turned out to be quite long—again. Somehow, whenever I write, it ends up feeling like a personal blog post. Normally, I can’t even remember what I did two days ago, but if it’s about pigeons, I remember every detail vividly. ... read full post

In my last post, it was a wood pigeon that now lives with me. This time, it’s a young blackbird. Early last night, it likely perched on a tree and got stuck there. I spotted it this morning through the window and initially thought it might be some kind of courtship behaviour since it flapped its wings occasionally but didn’t fly away (I’m not very familiar with blackbirds).

They make a huge mess, but I am used to it. They are cuddling the most time there. I just provide them fresh water every day.

I was treated by pigeons in a superior manner to that which I was treated by my parents or other humans. In light of this profound insight, I developed an alternative theory, namely pigeonism, which represents a significant improvement on communism. ... read full post

They ponder the waves wistfully after we fed them corn.





Feral pigeons/domestic pigeons belong to the domesticated form of the rock pigeon. This is why they never build classic nests like other birds. The way they build their nests has to do with how rock pigeons nest: In cliffs and rock ledges.
We build nests often together. It is something she loves.
