My deadly pigeon army

[Sariss]

Okay, well I don't think they are deadly, but they are my army of feathered friends!
I gave Daisy a bath today and decided I should set out a pan of water for the pigeons. Before I leave for College at the end of the month, I intend to get better pictures of these guys for you, since we have many interesting and beautiful breeds. Unfortunately only the racing homers really came out to have a bath.

It's a crappy pan, but it works!


They're interested...


Dive in!


He managed to get it all to himself!


But not for long!


The three stooges


More birds decide to come


Getting a little crowded..


Oh, and out of bordeom, here's a video of the freaks. It's only about thirty seconds long.

Oh how fun! I love birds. Yours are beautiful!

Hey, they were having a good ol' time! What if you got them a little kiddie pool, or would they just bird dirt it up?

Do yall have different cages, and have to clean up dookie everyday? Do they let you touch them?

It's actually two buildings we keep them in. We don't clean up after them *every* day, cause with 60 or so pigeons, that'd be hard. Though we do have massive cleans on a regular basis. That's fun.
Here are the two buildings they are in:



As far as friendliness goes, they are all decently friendly. However they are flighty and will probably fly away when you approach them, unless they are the select group of racing homers that flies on a regular basis, they have the most interaction.

I've thought about that since they ALL try to go in at the same time. There weren't that many this time because I was there (I mean, do YOU want someone taking pictures while you have a bath?), but there are usually like at least 10 trying to get in at once, with a bunch of others waiting.

I bet one of those hard plastic pond forms would work! Oh, hell, just buid a little pond, with a waterfall, and a fountain, and fish...oh, yeah, birdie paradise!

Jenn, I haven't laughed in a long time. You have made my day with this comment. and spit my coffee onto my keyboard.

BTW- Your birds have a beautiful home!

[Jenn]

What?? Actually I laughed a little when I asked, but I was genuinely curious.

Am I the only one who thinks that's a bit creepy? LOL!

No.




Cute bird houses though!

Amy, I can't give you the infamous, yet fake, "banning immunity" here! Play nice!

Now I can't help but think of you as a twisted kind of Batman villian....like the Penguin but with pigeons. Hehe.

What's creepy about it? They're just birds. We show them, race them, they are in weddings, funerals, etc etc.

[call2arms]

So those doves DO come back home after they're released after a wedding? Like, they know their way and just make it there?

It always intrigued me.

[luvmyangels]

That is really cool! Their housing is really nice.
