They are a lot more discreet than the feral pigeons, probably because of the resident magpies. The youngsters stay in the garden for a few weeks after leaving the nest, but then they move on, fortunately.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725991262021867082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020248611639053541.post-20578654700518866132012-09-06T16:12:15.223+01:002012-09-06T16:12:15.223+01:00Although these two just flew away on this occasion...Although these two just flew away on this occasion, she probably had a headache, they did go all the way a few days earlier.

The pigeons really, really do my head in. The worst for it are the ferals, they fly down hover for a few second, decide they won't land, then fly back up onto the roof. Repeat this at last 50 times until I get angry and wave around at them like a lunatic until they give up totally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020248611639053541.post-3998797061997837522012-09-04T15:04:23.692+01:002012-09-04T15:04:23.692+01:00What a lovely little love story!

They do exactly the same thing but usually it's the female that seems to do most of the 'pecking', almost as if she's grooming Mr P. Then they take it turns to peck / groom...then Mrs P lays down & Mr P. does the deed. Wondering if this is where the phrase 'hen pecked' comes from coz she gives him a right ol' pecking!! Then they just stand apart and groom themselves. We have had one baby Pig' a couple of years ago. <br />Gorgeous rose, wish I had more room xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994279172996044439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020248611639053541.post-56966888455951283462012-09-03T18:45:58.946+01:002012-09-03T18:45:58.946+01:00Very cute pigeons!
