I rescued this guy a couple weeks ago after a dog attack. He was acting calm and relaxed with me after a week. But now he is constantly screaming and jerking his wings about. Does he look hurt?
Such a beautiful bird up close. The details in its feathers and those bright eyes are amazing. 🐦🩶
Woke up this morning to find her in the backyard. She seems to be walking fine but doesn’t fly away. She doesn’t move very often, only if I go out to check on her, then she will walk away from me. I’m worried she needs medical attention. I put out cold water for her which she drank from a bit but it’s been over an hour of her being here and I’m getting more concerned. Is she lost? Is she hurt?? Any advice would help 🙏🏻 UPDATE: thank you everyone for all the help and advice. She has been taken into the care of someone who is able to give her a safe home. I appreciate all the responses, you guys definitely helped ease my anxiety over the situation!!
Round and fluffy and comfortable ❤️ They almost fell asleep on our balcony 🥰
So, this is Birbara. My wife has this amazing relationship with her. My wife is also 40 weeks pregnant, and unfortunately Birbara has got the idea that she is now her new midwife.
She literally spent the last two days watching my partner through the window, and only takes breaks for stretches and a bit of loafing. She's constantly looking at her belly, she watches her when she eats or stakes a nap.
It is all very cute, but Birb has her own responsibilities, and I'm afraid her natural schedule is getting disturbed (never had this issue before in the two years and a half we've known her, she usually eats - seeb twice a day -, drinks, sticks around for a few minutes, then flies away).
It should be fine as long as she takes her nest rotation after Monsieur (her partner), but how do we help her keep an okay and healthy schedule despite her intense interest in my wife?
I rescued Onyx around a year and 4 months ago. He’s been my best friend and been with me through a lot. He’s always been such an awesome sidekick. I finally was able to take a nice photo of him so I thought I’d share. He has some sort of fancy breed in him as you can tell by his muffs on his feet.
Just finished a small installation made to inhabit a ledge. The pigeon is needle felted wool, with clay beak and feet, and clay and resin eyes. The twigs are clay, wire and paint.
This piece is about soft things in hard places, and comfort built in inhospitable conditions. As a disabled person, I often feel my comfort is built in an environment of inhospitality. I am drawn to the images of birds who have used the harsh steel of bird spikes as structure to build their nests. Ironically, the steel wire makes a strong warp on which to weave the weft of a home.
She looks so stupid every time I weigh her. Kind of sorry to be putting her in a sock/towel but it’s the only way I can get her weight 😭
Found this pigeon behind my house, three different coloured tags on its legs. It's been here for a few hours and yet to fly away but slowly backs off when I get close. Just a bit concerned as it's currently pouring it down with rain, I've erected a little shelter but idk if somethings wrong or what to do with this little guy.
I started feeding a juvenile pigeon - Whistles, when the parents brought him around to my yard. He was getting fed regularly in the morning with the rest of the flock.
It was getting too hard to feed them for a variety of reasons - neighbours were complaining, my mum had passed away and the flock was growing.
I slowed down with the feeding and most of the flock left but Whistles stayed every day was particularly stubborn. Sometimes I would give in and feed him and other times I wouldn’t because I wanted him to become independent.
I saw him out in the street a lot searching for his own food and I felt reassured that he was making progress.
Today I found him on the road he was hit by a car. He was about 5 months old.
Did I somehow cause this to happen? He was too brave and silly and comfortable in general. I would hold him sometimes and he wasn’t afraid of my cat.
I am shocked and so sad.
Saw this pigeon when out walking with my colleague and we both think it looks weird but don't know enough about pigeons to put our fingers on why.
Sorry if I use the wrong flair, I don't really use them ever.
Edit: my colleague will try to find the pigeon on his way home.
Edit 2: my colleague couldn't find it 😔 He checked the side streets too but it was gone, hopefully someone else found it while we were at work and brought it to a vet.
A baby pigeon fell off my roof ( 2400 sqft btw) and somehow survived. I know it's probably not gonna survive for very long but I'm trying my best to keep it alive for now or comfortable until it passes. It's gasping or look like it's gasping but not quite panting
And of course last slide, the parents. Their colors are so surprising!
they're just so cool!! bonus pic of two babies that were yelling at me
