our yard, obviously very hungry.
The internet said that stray homing pigeons
who get lost will eat, drink and rest for a day
and then get back to trying to find home.
But this little guy decided not to leave our yard.
He/she has a band with numbers on
its leg, but I can't get close enough to read
them. It took me one week of moving the
birdseed nearer and nearer our rabbit hutch
and finally today it went in.
We'd like to keep it. We call him/her Pidge.
Hannah says it must be a male, since it obviously
didn't ask for directions on the way home!

All the animals seem to know a good thing when they see it. What critter wouldn't want to stay at your beautiful haven?! We have had a few pigeons with banded legs come and stay for a couple ( as in only 2) days, and then flew on. Michele brought one home from work at Jarrells Cove one time ( eons ago!)to recover from I can't remember what. He couldn't fly but needed exercise so while she was at work, I tied a string to his leg ( so he couldn't get away) and would take him for a walk! Now, who is the birdbrain?
