Hi all,
I have become quite interested in pigeons lately. Not that I am ready to add another bird to the family anytime soon tho! However, I have been watching the pigeons at school quite closely, with a friend.
We have named a few:
Kevin (dark blue check with brown wing lacing)
Kevin lookalike (dark blue check with blueish ing lacing)
Cheeto (brownish check)
Oreo (yellow/dusty check)
Saffron (yellow/dusty bar)
Shivron (big blue check, diff wing markings)
I have really taken a liking to saffron- today I got really close, and noticed she had a white leg band/ring. she is quite tame. There was also another pigeon that was really friendly.
Anyway, I wanted to try and earn these guys' trust, probably with food. But I want to go and do it right. I have a mix of small bird seed- would this do? Should I even try at all? Or would it be better to just leave them alone?
Thanks
