If you get a parlor roller they don't fly.

She is a beauty,,, but you like magpies, why? They eat my Robin and Dove eggs and babies. Not a fan of magpies, but hard to kill they out smart me most the time.

Mike did offer me a roller. I wasn't interested. Maybe one day. I'd like to build a small loft.

My dad had a crow that could talk when he was little, his dad split the crows tongue thus allowing that ability is what he always said.

By means of USPS yes. George the mail-man got a call from the office she was in and made a special trip back to the PO and brought her right to me. He was excited as I was to see her.

USPS...United States Pigeon Service? Nice!
It's great having a mailman who knows you and goes the extra mile when needed. Ours is the same way. He even sends us postcards when he's on vacation. Took a CCW class from me, too.

I remember my folks getting boxes of baby chicks via rural mail delivery... never got a pigeon in the mail though.
Pretty bird. Hope the hawks don't get a shot at her.

I do like this girl. Never squeaks. Squeaking is a sign of sure nervousness. A lot like Jimmy but without the mean streak.

Why it seems so ingrained in our DNA to make a connection with an animal I don't know. But when that connection is there, you know it, the animal knows it and it is a great satisfaction/feeling to me at least. I can feel my blood pressure lowering when I am with an animal I connect with.

Think we all feel that Jon. That why it so hard to lose a great pet.
After this video this morning she got into her cup of food which I hold while she sits on me to eat and she finialy figured out how to gobble down seeds. She started Squeaking like crazy as if to say ; man that's good !
She is a lot like Jimmy, starting to pester me while I work. Very interested in my hand movements.
