I like pigeons!
A wild one flew onto my family's property when I was a kid, and although it seemed uninjured and healthy, it decided to hang around. Eventually, Pidgy was housed in an old rabbit kennel to keep him safe from predators. He could leave at any time, but spent the rest of his life...

Some lovely birds and nice photos!
