Pinkie

Pinkie was a pet house pigeon who came to us this summer, we are her third and last home. She is a hand raised feral.

Birdy

Birdy is here from Las Vegas. He was a wild feral but was shot with a BB gun, a very kind woman found & saved him but couldn't release him because the BB did too much damage to Birdy's wing & he can no longer fly.

Birdy 1st day in flight 11-09

As you can see Birdy had no problems fitting in with his new loft companions. He is sitting on the top perch, about 4 ft. high, on the end closest to the camera.

Birdy perching 6 ft. up. I was so surprised when Birdy decided to fly 6 ft. up to perch on a grape vine! Remember vet's said he most likely would never fly!

Queenie is only allowing Birdy to stand on his nest box because I am taking the photo, as soon as I'm done he will push birdy off.

nest boxes

We try to recycle as many items as we can and in doing this it helps keep the cost down. Here we are using large cat litter buckets for the lower nest boxes. The particle board was found discarded in a dumpster. SDL #2 botto

pigeon door

This is a small seperated part of the loft that 5 pigoens live in. The pigeon door into the adjoining flight has plastic strips in front to keep sparrows out.
