I’m actually grateful that the stringfoot problem isn’t worst, in places such as New York City there’s a lot more with string and hair wrapped around their feet which results in some pretty horrific wounds.
My second sole purpose is to see Neet dance.All four of my pigeons coo and do some degree of dancing, though none of them dance as well as my first pigeon, Neet Neet!
I will have to upload one. Neet Neet dances for everything.
How do you catch them?Thanks! I’ve gotten very good at catching pigeons.
I think Casper is a male, but I really have no idea. I’m unsure about Wraith and RB, too. They all dance and coo at each other.
Since I keep rescuing new ones, I’m not going to breed them, or I’d end up with an obscene number of pigeons.Neet would have such cute offspring though.
Casper is the original homer. Honestly I don’t think either of them are bred well since they don’t have homer-looking faces and obviously didn’t return home as they’re supposed to.
I just caught a new pigeon, a lost fantail mix! I hope she’s a female, I did see a feral dance for her. (Since fantails are a domestic breed, she wouldn’t have been able to survive long in the wild.)

First, I pour/throw out seeds in front of the pigeon I’m intending to catch. Once they start eating, I get close and wait until they are entirely focused on the seeds and the other pigeons and aren’t paying attention to me. Then I reach down with one hand and pin them to the ground. It’s relatively easy to catch them when they’re hungry and in a large flock.
I caught a pigeon once but I thought it was because it was exhausted and domestic. Sounds like a pecking pigeon is pretty dead to the world with your success rate.
Well, the ferals do trust me more than the average person, since I’ve been feeding them for a while. I’ve only ever been able to catch one pigeon without food and that was Pickles.I caught a pigeon once but I thought it was because it was exhausted and domestic.

Oh yeah, I tried to make it a picture of a chicken but the profile picture kept covering up the face. XDRoo I just now noticed your background picture for your profile has pigeons on the lines
Not quite how Neet Neet does it
