Here is the latest one. They visit twice a day and I have become their pop-in restaurant. Thanks to all who tried to help when I was worried about an injured pigeon. Although I just talked to it sympathetically, maybe it realised I was a potential friend and that’s why it came back!**
That's great news Wendy, thanks for the update from Pauline and so nice to hear they are visiting for food regularly.
Thanks Hazy, looks as though I now have a new visitor, this time pigeon with only 1 functioning leg plus a shrivelled one, very aggressive. Word must have got around that this is the place to come with leg problems.
Good luck with this 2nd pigeon, at least the easy food source will help it, especially if the weather turns cold. We seem to have a dozen Wood pigeons and a stock dove at the moment enjoying mixed seed, sunflower hearts, peanuts.
