Oh that sounds nice, never heard of this before.

Haha, tbh the main reason i don't want to have the crazy pigeon balcony is because of the mess, the mess is already sufficient for me as is. And her anti pigeon measures don't help a lot, they are not bothered much by those windmills and fake crows. They are still lurking around her balcony for a place to nest.

But yeah that woman does not like birds, also the parakeets, all the birds really. She dropped letters in the neighborhood last year, asking for people to stop feeding birds.

Hmm, it has a ring, so it most likely belonged to somebody. Maybe it got lost. But yea, "need crumb" is probably what it does. If it got lost, it probably does not really know how to look for food on its own because it always has been fed by humans.

Thank you! I will keep posting some pigeon stuff when i'm on the road, just not as regular. I also hope to get to see some of the ferals' wild ancestors on this holiday, but i will probably not have the right photo equipment on me.

Sure, i know. But it doesn't need to sleep here to get the food in the morning, and it had nights / mornings where it didn't. But i would also prefer for it to find food elsewhere. I just saw it struggling for survival and felt for it. I hope it finds its way when i'm gone, and that that way has nothing to do with my balcony.

I am giving treats to two amazing couples, which is what i would like to keep doing, i can't have the balcony become a crazy pigeon balcony, my neighbours hate pigeons. They have decorated theirs with spikes, fake crows and these plastic windmills 🤣 There is a crazy pigeon balcony on the other side of the yard, but i'm not sure if they feed outside of winter, can't look over there when the trees are green. They actually have the whole pigeon crew from the yard there, multiple sleeping guests.

 

So this is now the 4th spot on the balcony it has chosen to sleep. I just woke it up when i put tomorrow's raisins on the blackbird's plate and took the photo. I saw it before from the inside, it looked like the whole brain was asleep, haha. It has been sleeping here most of the nights since it showed up. One night we scared each other when i went out and it went flying, but returned. I wish it would find a better place to sleep.

I have been giving it some food every day, very early in the morning (it wakes me up, cooing at 5:15). So it has a bit of power for the day to search for more. I did not give it food at any other times and it does not hang out on the balcony. That's good.

It runs into quite a bit of trouble with other pigeons, but it is pretty strong and stubborn, not loosing all of the fights. There is also some bully pigeon who i somehow follows it around a bit, also to the balcony, bugging it at its original sleeping spot. Really weird, no pigeon ever hung out there before.

I'll now be on holidays for a bit and i hope it will look for something else.

 
 

Two of my favorite moves.

Really, really cool. Those remind me a bit of when we were putting colors and other stuff into dia frames and then projecting.

[–] bonjour@mander.xyz 5 points 4 days ago

Very nice photos and such cool looking birds.

 

Or cowlick? This is the sibling of the young pigeon i posted yesterday. Stretching out my content a bit, haha.

More active than the other, how stupid do you think i am? This community consists of almost only reposts by you from !crows@lemmy.ml . In crows people post OC. Because they are interested in crows. You and the fucking mod are only here for political reasons and have never posted anything other than fucking reposts from crows. I guess the mod posted a youtube video that was as original as their username lol.

I want you to stop reposting my content here, those reposts are bothering me, don't tell me you don't. I have asked you a dozen times, friendly in the beginning (other username, but i'm sure you know). How can that be so hard to understand? You are simply being a self-righteous asshole.

[–] bonjour@mander.xyz -1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Minimize interaction for me. Just let me use the fediverse how i see fit without bothering me, how about that. I don't want your blessing, just don't be such a self-righteous prick.

You are reposting my content here in order to minimize interaction from what ever i'm posting to crows. I am not joining your boycott and i don't want to have my content reposted in this toxic place.

Just fuck off and stop killing my vibe.

[–] bonjour@mander.xyz -2 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Hey, asshole. Stop reposting my pictures here, i don't want to have anything to do with your politics drama and also not with this shit community.

The rare feral pigeon in a tree 😀

 

It grew up on the balcony above, this is one of its very first little flights. Don't think i saw it since.

 

Leaves look like this:

it's growing in the same flower pot as the other one, about 80cm high.

 

It's like two meters high and growing in the flower pot i use to empty the birds water dish in.

 

And she also has a name.

 

Very witty title.

Saw some crows heckle this peregrine falcon yesterday evening. Went on for like 10 minutes. Unluckily i did not hit the record button for the better clip i thought i was recording. I don't know what was up with the falcon, if it was hurt or a confused young bird. I was contemplating calling some wild bird help, but it disappeared somehow behind the roof, along with the crows, did not really see it fly.
