Ohhhhh
Birdman...I almost died laughing about the "flaming frenchie" It's not funny...but then again...it's sooo funny!
Thinking about it makes my eyes burn and water!
Anansi - thank you! And actually, neither were actually posed, both just candid shots in the moment with the sheer luck of having camera and or cell phone handy.
Our pigeon and Franklin or conure were about a year old in that picture. Belle I rescued from the "big city" over 100 miles away. He was injured and couldn't walk or fly and was missing all but 4 of his tail feathers. I tossed a shirt over him, he snuggled down into my lap and slept all the way home.
We had to stop off at a feed store to find out what to feed him and then they only sold pigeon feed in 50 pound bags!! I was like...wow...I don't even know if this pigeon will survive the night.
At first I was convinced he was a She, which is why his name is Belle...from Bellevue Washington....and he was young, less then 6 months old when I found him. The pigeon forums call them "squeekers" because of the sound they make as babies.
Belle, thrived in our care, tamed down in about 3 weeks time and although we had every intention of releasing him when he could fly...he had no desire to leave us. So we have a flight suit, he walks along like a dog, my nieces totally get a kick out of walking him, he plays with toys, loves bells, coo's and dances and humps anything white! His current favorite being a paint roller! Hahahaha!!
My husband and I have always enjoyed watching pigeons in the city when we go there...but since rescuing Belle we now watch them in a entirely new light.
