Beautiful plants. Do the birds trouble them?

Birds? I didn't notice birds. Now that I look at the pic, yes there are birds, LOL! I was moving those Sans when I went to feed our Lockentauben. Decided to post the photo for fun. The Sans don't "live" there, although I don't think they would bother them anyway.

Lockentauben? Are those the types of birds? Do you have them as pets, for eggs, meat?

A German breed of fancy pigeon. Frillbacks. Nice to have around for pets/showing.

They look very friendly.

I love those pigeons

Thank you hkitchenguy! They are a pleasure to have around and it is a very rewarding, relaxing and fun hobby!

I've been to the pigeon shows in White Plains. Beautiful !

Do you or did you have pigeons?

Woodnative,

I forgot you had those birds. How nice. A block away my neighbor has about 20 all white doves or pigeons. They look large so they may be pigeons. They fly in circles all round the block and after about 10 times or so, they all go back to his pen. I would love to own a few but there are hawks in my woods behind me. He also complains that he losing one every so often due to hawks. Where I live I get to enjoy them as much as he does.

Where I garden at, we got a ground hog that destroys everything. We caught several and took many miles away to release but still seems to have some around to continue the trouble. I could turn the fenced in section into a chicken coop and get some use out of it. Maybe 4 or 5 chicks. I have enough trouble with plants let along taking care of live birds. So I guess I will keep buying my eggs.

Hellkitchenguy that is cool! I still enjoy looking at all the different colors of ferals when we go to NYC...........thinking of the genetic makeup of each one. My daughter shares this same insanity with me, LOL!

Stush does your neighbor do wedding released or just have them for fun? Probably they are white homing pigeons. It is amazing how much a groundhob can eat! We had a family of them under our shed one year. I live trapped and relocated 4 and luckily no others have yet taken their place!

Hope you are still checking your post because I have a question about your pigeons. Can they still fly as well with those curly feathers?.........Maryl

Hi Maryland! They are not real good flyers. They can make it up to the rooftop but won't fly any distance. However hawk populations are high so I don't let them out to fly.

That makes sense. Thanks for the information.......Maryl
