Toupee , one of our pigeons. I don’t know gender but I am really hoping a she, otherwise I’ll just have 4 males She’s quite a special bird. Very tame, at first I could call her by ‘cooing’ lol. She’s from the SPCA, found on the street starving, no one came forward for her so they put her up for adoption. So we adopted her online. She was 700kms away from us including a different Island (I wish NZ was just one island!) so we had no choice but to put her on a flight, so 200 NZD later she was here. She got let out to free range a couple weeks ago and is doing well.

This is Cloud, another special way we acquired him. Just coming home from town and there was a tiny little fledgling feral who could not fly on the busy road, thought we had run over him at first but she escaped. It was so busy that you could almost guarantee he’d be squished so we went and caught him and brang him home. Had to force feed him for a little while. She’s been free range for about a year now and is also doing well. He is paired with another male I think, a little annoying but with no other hens I’m just leaving them be.

This is Silver, our homing pigeon male. Got him from a show a couple years ago. He’s out with his feral pigeon girlfriend right now. He’s bringing her back here and she even got some feed this morning so fingers crossed she’ll eventually decide to stay here.

Pebbles, brother of Silver and mate of Cloud. Got him the same place same time as Silver. He’s the big bully of the lot but still pretty charming.
And some pics of the other animals
