Hello pigeon watchers
Henry is fine. Well fed. And it is 3 he owes me now. I have saved him twice from a cat. I do my best to save that bird, and have lectured him on the danger of cats. |

Any bananas hanging around?

Good work parachute. A pity the cats aren't all like this one.

Hi mate.
Take a look at this. Awesome. I got the tubes and carpet to cover them from Carpetright today. Work stats Monday with a handyman mate of mine. |
|
By:

I must say I am astonished. Is this yours or are you building something similar?
|
|
By:
No that's not mine. I just stumbled across it on yt. Building something similar. Or my mate is.
 |
|
By:
I've got those long pole thingys as I said plus carpet. We need to glue the carpet to the poles, stick the shelves and poles up and iy should look ok. Maybe not as good as the video but hopefully not far off. I hope my two don't ignore it. lol

By:
Lucky cats ! Do me a favour though Kenny and make sure you don't make a firetrap.
Stuff like that - pipes and carpets above your head near your front door - know what I'm saying mate? |
|
By:
It's going upstairs in the spare bedroom so no danger.
The pipes are simply the cardboard tubes that carpet is attached to as in a roll of carpet. Very sturdy they are too. Off to bed. 'Night mate. |

By:
night mate - take care mate

By:
parachute, this is an even better video of the same playground. Absolutely awesome.
2 great musical tracks too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcGW3tcGqR8 |

By:
The brackets for the tubes are nearly completed.

By:
Are you getting one of them 'cat commodes', Kenny? Do they have a flushing toilet?
 |
|
By:
No mate, still outside loo with cut up newspaper and trowel.

Reminds me of a story about a customer in a shop I used to work in when I was about 15. The boss told a tale of a this chap who came in with a notepad of items he wanted (well before the days of self service, think Open All Hours)
The boss went down the list, Typhoo Tea, firewood, Omo washing powder etc and came to toilet rolls. He said what colour would you like, we've got ping, blue and white. The customer said, not bothered lad, it's dark in ours. lol |

By:
Very funny, kenny.

Any sign of an egg yet ?

Hi pigeon fans.
I've had a tough week so apologies for lack of updates. Good news - Henry brought a bird home last Wednesday. They both turned up late morning, Henry pecking the window for attention, then showing some deference to the new bird. They ate the food then sat on the upstairs window ledge huddling together. Every day since the pair have turned up. Lunchtime usually. The love birds. |
|
By:
Careful parachute, it was lovebirds that started "ThE Birds" off.
|
|
By:
I hope it was a nice bird that he brought home. She seems to approve of Henry's live-in human. Maybe you need to organise a roost-warming party for a few of their friends!
You're gonna end up like the Bird-Man of Alcatraz. A pleasing saga. |

By:
Thanks bird friends.
More news. I had to go away at the weekend but a neighbour kindly fed the pigeons for me. They turned up Monday after I had got home and ate the stuff my neighbour had left out for them! Still a pair. Then yesterday - nothing.....was desolate  This morning, both back. They ate the peanuts....then Henry starts pecking around and taking a peculiar interest in twigs and bits of straw. Then they both perched together on the porch roof. They were snogging, beaks and all! Enchanting. Thing is, Henry looks thicker round the hips than the mate. Not really had a chance to compare Henry with other pigeons visually. Now Henry is into heavy petting close up I realise that Henry may be female! Do girl pigeons make the nests? (interest in twigs/straw etc). |

I don't know but a great serial this is,parachute.
|
|
By:
Are parachute and moony one and the same?
|
|
By:
parachute is not the type to be silly, and have more than one name.
|
|
By:
I do think eggs are imminent. When Henry first showed up with the partner, I really felt like a parent whose kid had brought home "the one" for the first time to meet the folks.
I didn't ask the new bird any embarrassing questions. They can be so touchy at that age. However, both ate peanuts out of my hand. Henry went straight in, the other bird only took food from me (other hand) when I was looking at Henry and not making eye contact. I think Henry is nestbuilding. I'd like to help - what bits of stuff do birds like for nest material? Sadly I have no dog at the moment - birds love fur from dog brushes. |

By:
Maybe you could have a Brazilian?
|
|
By:
kenny, he does talk an incredible amount of bollox though, just to get a reaction.
|

By:
Kenny - how are you mate? and hope cats well?
Who is Moony one and the same btw? Always been me. Once got an email warning for saying c r a p in a threat about countdown! |
