Hello Feathered Friends Lovers!

Next round of Show Me A Photo Contest is opened and winners of round 6 will be announced in the next 24 hours. The theme I chose for round 7 is:

PIGEON

Yes, pigeons can be found everywhere. I hope to see your photos of any pigeon you can find. Some may have more exotic ones, some just ordinary ones.

These are the most common pigeons living in my area - rock pigeons.

Young birds happened to land on the balcony or even to enter home through the open windows and doors.

Hahaha, I must change my glasses. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for pointing this typo.

😁 !BEER

Sorry, you don't have enough staked BEER in your account. You need 24 BEER in your virtual fridge to give some of your BEER to others. To view or trade BEER go to hive-engine.com

the reason the number was mixed up has to do with the fact she ran out of beer. 24 beers will do that

I would prefer a glass of !WINE 😉

Oh we have the Speckled pigeon, one I photographed up in the mountains a couple of years ago, unfortunately I have used this photography previously, will share only to show.

A bird that is a bit of a menace if they start nesting in your roof (particularly thatch roofing), very pretty to look at, I have ever seen on the coast.

Photo was used some time ago in Steemit:

I am sure @papilloncharity has these birds in town.

This pigeon is different the ones I used to see around. Thank you @joanstewart!

I am sure you will see more of this one from South African's here.

Thank you for the mention Lady @joanstewart and here is a Speckled (Rock) pigeon that we saved and set free very healthy in November last year.
Her name is "Chee-chee" due to sound that she made as a baby and she liked to sit on Marian's head.

She still occasionally visits here accompanied by her boyfriend 🤣

Blessings!

So long as you don't have a thatch roof 😄 they apparently love getting indoors and nesting, up in the berg we were specifically asked not to feed them years ago.

Tell Marian I do like her hairstylist, very impressive!

We don't have a thatch thankfully, as Marian will turn it into a zoo.

And hahaha, her stylist is very famous. She is called Mrs. Water Shower 🤣

Blessings and !WINE

WINE Current Market Price : 5.990 HIVE

Always a good feeling when the bird trusts a human, when free normally do return to say hello again.

Yes indeed, but we don't encourage her Lady Joan and it is good to see that she has become more skittish. Squirry paid the price of trusting humans as she is gone and we don't even want to think about what happened to her. Thankfully 3 of the kids are still around and although Marian feeds them, we don't make any physical contact with them.
The wild belongs to the wild.

Blessings and !BEER

Having raised many young birds who have fallen from nests, never caged and let free to fly when ready, it is always a happy/sad moment letting go.

Squirrels we don't have, I would imagine they could become too familiar with adopted families, then not realizing not all is equal become a target for those who do not appreciate nature in the wild.

!WINE


Hey @joanstewart, here is a little bit of BEER from @papilloncharity for you. Enjoy it!

The pigeon has lovely name and seems very comfy. 😀

Hahaha, thank you my friend and yes, she was very comfortable in her time here.

Even helped Marian with my lunch 🤣

Love seeing these photos of Marian and CheeChee! 😍

Thank you milady and yes, the photos bring back great memories, especially as she is now free and well.

Blessings and !WINE

Very helpful indeed. 🤣
Reminds me my cat Blue, who always wants to help or better to say - to inspect what we are doing. 😀

Hahaha, yeah, animals can indeed be very inquisitive, especially if they think there is something nice for them to eat.

Blessings!

That is a really gorgeous pigeon! Such beautiful colors and markings!

They are pretty, swift in flight with quite noisy wing flap Sadly they are finding themselves more at home in human habitat.

कबूतर गज़ब 😍

Hope to see a contest entry from you!

आप से एक प्रतियोगिता प्रविष्टि देखने की उम्मीद है!

Great, you managed to find pigeon photos!

It's probably as far as i go with birds unless i visit a zoo they don't hang around like they do for you 😄

I have started to practice with birds in the zoo. ☺
But I consider myself lucky to live in am area with so many birds.

Zoo's can be great places to visit and do bird photography especially if it's a huge bird aviary they can't fly to far plus i think they would be more settled.

In our zoo, which is vety small by the way, I used to stay near the pelicans and they were good models.

We do have a big bird zoo in Currumbin Bird Sanctuary in Queensland have never been there but it might be worth the 3 hour drive from where i am.
