Today I released a post PMV Pidge named Garfield. She was not one of my rescues but Sarah let me collect Garfield for release into my garden. Garfield wasted no time in flying up to the roof where various members of the Pigeon Mafia came to say hello. She attracted the attention of one particularly frisky male. Unfortunately Garfield went across to the front of the roof so I was unable to see how things went lol
Hopefully she will return tomorrow...

Great news MC, looks like she's tarting herself up for him!
Best wishes

Love is in the air, or on the roof in this case!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
She really looks content with the other pigeons and already made quite an impact on the chaps lol good luck to her and the rest of the gang.

She seems fairly young, but once they are adults it's hard to tell. More so with females as they tend not to have the big crusty cere.
Garfield was back again this morning. Things are looking good.
she looks really settled in and content Paul and what more could we ask for her, it's good to know she has attracted a suitor lol

Yes. A different one every day by the looks of it!
Garfield seems to be nicely settled in the flock. She was back again this morning and I spotted another familiar face next to her on the roof. Kara returned a couple of days ago. Initially I thought it was Max, but he had his left foot ringed, not the right. Artemis was also there as well as Corkbit. A nice little gathering of PM members.
