Pigeon Pal is having a little outdoor time today after about an hour of "exercise" in the Gallery.

The bird will not be living in the kitchen!

Doesn't actually have to be in the kitchen, just in the same general area of the house as the kitchen. So, within 2-3 rooms away and on the same floor is still risky.

Thanks for the photo update! I can't stop grinning at how good Pal has it.
Sure hope he doesn't poop on your wife's lovely artwork.

Ah. Okay. We need to think that through then.

This morning was the first time I heard Pal make any noises. He made several tentative trills while standing and then sat down and made a much louder one. Is that good?

So I've heard conflicting things about baths. Do pigeons like to have access to either water or dust large enough in which to bathe?

Standing, sitting and 'cooing' are all normal behaviors.... but we'd love to see if you can catch it on video!

Water. Cat litter size pan with approx 3 tablespoons of 20 Muleteam Borax dissolved in the water to keep away mites and lice.
