First time posting. I have been feeding a woodpigeon for about 9 months. I started as it came and sat on our bird table when it was very young and didn't look like it knew what to do there. It was still there hours later. I would say it was more of a juvenile than a fledling at the time. My question is, now it is an adult, will it know how to find food on its own? I am moving house. Once the food supply stops, as it has been so reliant on me? I can ask the people moving in to feed, but of course they may not want to. I'm happy to leave the bird table and supply of food. Or should I just stop now whilst there are berries etc around. I'm hoping that despite it being left alone from a young age, perhaps its just thought it will take advantage of not having to forage. I went away for a few days and it looked a bit dishevelled and panicky until I fed it. If its better to stop now, and remove the bird table I will. I am also worried that when my cat leaves other cats will come into the garden and he/she will be easy prey as very confident around us. He she/she has even walked in the house! Thanks.
