Don’t tell my husband, we’re getting pigeons.

Yellow saddle pair and a black grizzle pair. They’re racing homers. Hoping to get them settled in quickly so they start heeing and sheeing and giving me little babies.

I will break it to him when he comes home. Welder. He’s out of town... maybe I’ll send him pictures of my upgrades to the Java coop and casually include pictures of our new birds.

TO BE FAIR: I’ve been sending him pictures, videos, facts, and info on pigeons for a year now prepping him for the idea of them. He has slowly been won over.

I’m NOT DONE WITH MY LOFT.

Talk about motivation. The temporary cage will house them for a little while but I would like to get them into their permanent quarters soon. Especially because I’d like babies.

Fifteen years without them and here they come.

Oh.

And I haven’t picked up feed yet.

Wow they're beautiful birds! You sure don't hang about!

No worries. Pigeons are so personable they will complete the seduction when they meet him.

Beautiful birds! How do you train them to come back? I'd be afraid I'd never see them again!

@dpenning

These four will not be released. They’re adults. They’ll have the run of the aviary but they won’t be free flown.

Their offspring will be.

Never fly birds you can’t stand to lose.

BUt. Pigeons are very friendly and super personable. They’re easy to train with food.
